Loading Dock 13

Reconstruction and Consolidation

The Port of Trois-Rivières mandate granted to our team for the reconstruction of Dock 13 and the consolidation of Dock 14 included the following elements:

• Installing a new wharf line of approximately 180 m in length on the shore of the St. Lawrence River (combined pile and sheet pile wall)
• Installing piles, sheet piles and tie rods (with a specific placement template)
• Installing water, storm sewer, lighting, electrical, industrial mechanics and railroad systems (via a BIM model)
• Building an electrical facility building
• Integrating an Anker Schroeder anchor system and a sheet pile retaining wall

Our marine work experience enabled us to develop a method without the use of a large-scale marine barge. Also, our seabed surveys and grain size analysis allowed us to optimize the marine and earthwork operations.

We completed the project on schedule through our exemplary management of every challenge, including many geotechnical and environmental constraints.

Daily Sampling

To preserve the environment, we measured suspended solids in the St. Lawrence River every day with a turbidimeter during our backfill work in the water.

Contaminated Soil

We discovered thousands of tons of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, requiring us to conduct characterizations and send a significant portion of our material to a treatment site.

Heavy Traffic

We had to carry out our work despite heavy truck traffic on the port site.

Close Follow-Up Required

Many professionals from different disciplines worked on this project. As a result, follow-ups were crucial for numerous workshop drawings and technical data sheets.
