Este contrato representa un volumen importante de refuerzos de acero negro, galvanizado e inoxidable, una cantidad de aproximadamente 16&nbsp;000 toneladas m&eacute;tricas.<\/p>\n<p>La fabricaci&oacute;n de refuerzos de acero inoxidable, que representa m&aacute;s de 4000&nbsp;toneladas m&eacute;tricas, ha sido confiada a Acier ATR, nuestra f&aacute;brica en Trois-Rivi&egrave;res. Para hacerlo, una parte ya existente de la f&aacute;brica ha sido renovada, se han instalado nuevos equipos de fabricaci&oacute;n y se han aprovechado las competencias locales para responder a los est&aacute;ndares requeridos para la utilizaci&oacute;n de este producto; una primicia en Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>En efecto, la f&aacute;brica de Trois-Rivi&egrave;res tuvo que ser adaptada para evitar la contaminaci&oacute;n ferrosa proveniente del acero negro, la cual disminuye la eficacia del producto y reduce la vida &uacute;til de los proyectos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Refuerzos de acero inoxidable: la soluci&oacute;n para obras duraderas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La vida &uacute;til de un puente nuevo es de 125&nbsp;a&ntilde;os. Aunque es m&aacute;s costoso que el acero galvanizado, el uso de refuerzos de acero inoxidable en el concreto en los lugares m&aacute;s expuestos a las sales fundentes era necesario para garantizar la durabilidad del concreto. Al tener una vida &uacute;til dos veces m&aacute;s larga que la del acero galvanizado, el acero inoxidable no es sensible a la corrosi&oacute;n y no se degrada en &oacute;xido.<\/p>\n<p>Para seguir la evoluci&oacute;n del proyecto, visite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newchamplain.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.newchamplain.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A first in Quebec: a plant adapted to manufacture stainless steel&#8203; On November&nbsp;23,&nbsp;the&nbsp;consortium Signature&nbsp;on&nbsp;the Saint&nbsp;Lawrence [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":42861,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[221],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42868"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55975,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42868\/revisions\/55975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
