Pomerleau has been contracted by Ciment Québec because of our expertise in civil and infrastructure.
Specifically, we are responsible for the following:
I'm very pleased to be able to count on a team as seasoned, professional and highly efficient as Pomerleau's to assist us in this important construction project for the future of Ciment Québec.
Already offering the lowest carbon footprint cements in North America, Ciment Québec, thanks to these new facilities, will reduce the environmental footprint of its main cements by a further 10%, and thus be able to respond adequately to the growing demand for more environmentally efficient cements. The state-of-the-art 54-m-x-36-m facility will reinforce this increased attention to the environment.
The project is being executed in fast-track mode.
In just three weeks, we went from 30 to 180 workers on this project, including subtrades, which was a steep curve to manage in such a short period.
To avoid joints in the structure, the slipform method is a continual pour, and was used for all seven silos. The pour lasted more than 10 days and required 24-hour non-stop surveillance, undertaken by two teams. Six of the silos reached a height of 45.5m and the seventh silo, 39m.
