Much has been written about the construction of this 824MW hydroelectric dam, which has sparked controversy in communities, among the people of Labrador and in Newfoundland&rsquo;s political circles. Behind all the media coverage, there is a solid team at AGF that is helping move this project forward. Maxime Beaupr&eacute;, our chief detailer and onsite representative, oversees a dynamic team of detailers and engineers on the site. Our skilled people coordinate the production of shop drawings, as well as supplying steel and providing technical and operational support for installation.<\/p>\n<p>A great deal of water has flown under the bridges and along the Churchill River since the AGF Group landed this contract. We have just passed the three-year mark in the construction of this dam, which represents 27,000 tonnes of rebar for our client Astaldi Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>So far, about 20,000 tonnes of rebar have been produced and delivered to this huge construction site. Some 820 trailer trucks have set out from our plants to deliver the steel required to the dam site in central Labrador, more than 1,500 km from our head office.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, most of the transitional dams have been completed. The power station and water intake are more than halfway to completion. In addition, the pillars for the recently commissioned spillway were completed in September. Technically speaking, production of the rebar drawings for the dam is advancing rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>For AGF Group, this project is an eloquent demonstration of the synergies among the various rebar divisions in eastern Canada. Our team would like thank all the plant, office and site employees who have participated in the project so far. We appreciate your professionalism and your efforts, which make all the difference!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is the team onsite:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image5-7.jpg\" style=\"height:375px; width:500px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>From left to right:<br \/>\nMehdi Serroukhe Idrissi<br \/>\nHeather Harris<br \/>\nMaxime Beaupr&eacute;<br \/>\nJenica Constantin<br \/>\nKevork Boyadjian<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-1956.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>El megaproyecto de Muskrat Falls<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">Patrick Farley, Ing., Director T&eacute;cnico y Postensado, y Maxime Beaupr&eacute;, Jefe Proyectista y Representante en la obra<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:1000px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Capture-9.jpg\" style=\"height:225px; width:300px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Muskrat_Falls_3-8.jpg\" style=\"height:169px; width:300px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>&iexcl;Muskrat Falls! &iquest;Lo conoce? &iquest;Qui&eacute;n no ha escuchado hablar de este megaproyecto en Canad&aacute;? La construcci&oacute;n de esta presa hidroel&eacute;ctrica de 824&nbsp;MW ha creado mucha controversia en la prensa y en las comunidades, entre los ciudadanos de Labrador y en todo el mundo pol&iacute;tico de Terranova. M&aacute;s all&aacute; de toda la prensa medi&aacute;tica, hay un equipo s&oacute;lido en AGF que contribuye al progreso seguro de este proyecto. Maxime Beaupr&eacute;, nuestro jefe proyectista y representante en la obra, dirige a un equipo din&aacute;mico de proyectistas y de ingenieros de obra. Nuestra gente competente coordina la producci&oacute;n de dibujos de taller, el suministro de acero y garantiza un apoyo t&eacute;cnico y operacional de la instalaci&oacute;n en la obra.<\/p>\n<p>Es verdad que ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que el grupo AGF obtuvo el proyecto a lo largo del r&iacute;o Curchill. Acabamos de pasar el l&iacute;mite de tres a&ntilde;os para la construcci&oacute;n de esta presa de 27&nbsp;000&nbsp;t de acero de refuerzo con nuestro cliente Astaldi Canada.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Hasta el d&iacute;a de hoy, aproximadamente 20&nbsp;000&nbsp;t de acero de refuerzo han sido producidas y entregadas para este proyecto de gran envergadura. Alrededor de 820 remolques salieron de nuestras f&aacute;bricas para entregar el acero que se necesita para la construcci&oacute;n de esta prensa situada en el centro de Labrador, a m&aacute;s de 1500&nbsp;km de nuestra sede social.<\/p>\n<p>En lo que concierne al progreso, se han terminado la mayor&iacute;a de las presas de transici&oacute;n. Se ha construido m&aacute;s de la mitad de la central y de la toma de agua. Adem&aacute;s, los pilares del desag&uuml;e que recientemente se puso en funcionamiento se finalizaron el septiembre pasado. Del lado t&eacute;cnico, la producci&oacute;n de dise&ntilde;os de refuerzo para la presa avanz&oacute; mucho.<\/p>\n<p>Este proyecto representa, para el grupo AGF, una gran demostraci&oacute;n de sinergia entre las diferentes divisiones de acero de refuerzo situadas al este de Canad&aacute;. Nuestro equipo desea, por este hecho, agradecerles a todos los empleados de f&aacute;brica, de oficina y de obra que hayan participado hasta ahora en el proyecto.
