In November 2015, AGF Steel was awarded the contract for the new Champlain Bridge by the Signature on the Saint Lawrence consortium to fabricate more than 16,000 tonnes of black, galvanized and stainless steel.<\/p>\n

The Trois-Rivières plant was assigned the job of producing about 4,000 tonnes of stainless steel. Of course, there are strict standards governing the manufacturing of this type of steel.<\/p>\n

We have to provide a plant that is free of black steel to prevent any contamination. After studying ways to adapt the current plant, we came up with the solution of renovating part of the existing facility. With input from our entire team, we made arrangements to obtain the equipment needed to produce the stainless steel, built a wall to divide the plant in two, installed a concrete floor and modified the entire electrical system.<\/p>\n

In addition, our outdoor yard had to be reorganized to make room for 4,000 tonnes of stainless steel. This was a huge job that had to be completed in record time since the steel was being shipped promptly.<\/p>\n

We encountered a number of constraints when we were starting up manufacturing: training many people on a giant machine (PLANET 20), handling the product in compliance with all the requirements and precautions, as well as a very slow start on the worksite. But our entire team pitched in and we were able to gain the experience needed to go from learning mode to operating mode.<\/p>\n

We are producing steel for BPDL (a subcontractor on the Champlain Bridge project) on a regular basis. The company cannot supply the site within the required timelines so we are lending a hand.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we have also been producing steel for the Calgary division. We would like to thank Daniel Matte for putting his trust in us.<\/p>\n

We should mention that ATR was accredited in December by the MTO (Ontario’s Ministry of Transport) for stainless steel production. With this accreditation, we can supply the MTO’s projects. The application was made in cooperation with AGF Group: Katherina Beck put together the application file, Maxime Gendron made contacts for the inspector’s visit and ATR coordinated the entire project.<\/p>\n

At ATR, we’re ready to respond to any requests from AGF Group’s divisions and put our expertise to work for you!<\/p>\n

Acero inoxidable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

En noviembre de 2015, Acier AGF obtuvo el contrato del nuevo Puente Champlain para el consorcio “Signature” sobre el San Lorenzo, por más de 16 000 t de acero negro, galvanizado e inoxidable.<\/p>\n

La fábrica de Trois-Rivières recibió el mandato de fabricar un volumen de aproximadamente 4000 t de acero inoxidable. Por supuesto, se requerían elevados estándares para la fabricación de este tipo de acero.<\/p>\n

Debemos ofrecer una fábrica en la que no exista la presencia de acero negro, para evitar cualquier contaminación. Hemos estudiado una manera de adaptar la fábrica actual. La solución elegida: la renovación de una parte de la fábrica existente. Con la ayuda de todo nuestro equipo, hemos tomado las disposiciones necesarias para recibir el equipo necesario para la producción de acero inoxidable, es decir, construir un muro de lona para separar la fábrica en dos partes, ofrecer un piso de concreto y modificar todas las instalaciones eléctricas.<\/p>\n

Además, se necesitó una modificación de nuestro patio exterior para proporcionar el espacio necesario para las 4000 t de acero inoxidable. Se realizó un trabajo enorme en un tiempo récord porque el acero llegaba rápidamente.<\/p>\n

Se presentaron muchos imprevistos al inicio de la fabricación, como la capacitación de varias personas para manejar esta máquina inmensa (PLANET 20) y el mantenimiento del producto con todas las precauciones y exigencias necesarias; así que fue un inicio muy lento de la obra. Sin embargo, el trabajo realizado por todo nuestro equipo a lo largo de los días, nos permitió adquirir cada vez más experiencia y pasar del modo aprendizaje al modo operacional.<\/p>\n

Por cierto, producimos de manera regular y eficaz para la empresa BPDL (un subcontratista en el proyecto del Puente Champlain). La empresa no logra aprovisionar la obra en los plazos requeridos, así que vamos a ayudarla.<\/p>\n

Últimamente, también hemos producido para la división de Calgary. Deseamos agradecerle enormemente a Daniel Matte por confiar en nosotros.<\/p>\n

Es importante mencionar que ATR obtuvo la acreditación del Ministerio de Transporte de Ontario el pasado diciembre, para la producción de acero inoxidable. Esta acreditación nos permite suministrar las obras del MTO. Este expediente fue realizado en sinergia en Grupo AGF, Katherina Beck realizó el montaje del expediente, Maxime Gendron hizo los contactos para la visita del inspector y ATR coordinó todo.<\/p>\n

En ATR estamos todos listos para responder a las solicitudes de todas las sucursales del Grupo AGF ¡y hacer que todos aprovechen nuestra experiencia adquirida!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
