With Christian Roy’s contribution<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, the town of Beauharnois has seen new construction activity within its territory. <\/p>\n

Ikea has decided to move into the industrial park along Highway 30 to set up a gigantic distribution centre. <\/p>\n

Gigantic is the operative word: the building will cover just over one million ft2 (97,000 m2), the size of about 20 football fields!
\nThe Brossard distribution centre was no longer big enough to meet the Swedish furniture giant’s plans for growth. With this new robotics-enabled space, it will be able to serve the Ontario and Quebec markets.<\/p>\n

AGF has been hired to work on this mega-project, to produce the foundations and reinforced concrete floors that will support the enormous building structure (up to 120 feet in height). <\/p>\n

One of the specific features of the project is that the structure that will be used for product warehousing will also serve as the building’s structure. 
\nAs seen in the above photo, the foundations and slabs will be installed on close to 6,500 piles driven into the rock substrate. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The means that measure up to the effort<\/h3>\n

Christian Roy is the detailer for this project, and Francis Larocque is general site superintendent. Currently, there are about 15 Acier AGF employees working in Beauharnois, but this number will rise to 50 in the months ahead to step up the pace of work and meet very tight deadlines. The concrete slab for the warehouse building will weigh close to 2,500 tonnes and must be completed before winter. <\/p>\n

The contract awarded to AGF currently covers a total of 9,000 T of rebar. This means about 350 to 400 T will have to be delivered every week to the site at peak periods. <\/p>\n

In general, for projects of this scope, pre-assembly is often a attractive choice to maximize time available for installation and thereby comply with very tight deadlines, but in this case, while pre-assembly could be done in parallel on the site, almost all of the installation must be done “on the spot.”<\/p>\n

We wish great success to all those working in this project, which is slated for completion by the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

Proyecto del nuevo centro IKEA<\/h2>\n

Desde hace varias semanas se aprecia una nueva obra en el territorio de la ciudad de Beauharnois.<\/p>\n

En efecto, Ikea decidió instalarse junto a la autopista 30, en el parque industrial, para abrir un gigantesco centro de distribución.<\/p>\n

“Gigantesco” es realmente la palabra… el edificio contará con un poco más de un millón de pies cuadrados (97 000 m2). ¡El equivalente a veinte terrenos de futbol!
\nEl centro de distribución de Brossard ya no era lo suficientemente grande para responder a los objetivos de crecimiento del grupo sueco. Con este nuevo espacio robotizado, el gigante de la industria de muebles cubrirá los mercados de Ontario y de Quebec.<\/p>\n

Para completar este megaproyecto, Acier AGF participó en la elaboración de los cimientos y los pisos de concreto reforzado para recibir la enorme estructura de edificios (hasta 120 ft de altura).
\nUna de las particularidades de esta construcción es que la estructura que servirá para almacenar sus productos servirá igualmente de estructura para el edificio.<\/p>\n

Como lo ilustra la fotografía en la parte superior de la página, los cimientos y baldosas serán instalados sobre casi 6500 pilotes enterrados hasta las rocas.<\/p>\n

Medios a la medida del esfuerzo<\/h3>\n

Christian Roy es el proyectista y Francis Larocque es el superintendente general de la obra.<\/p>\n

Actualmente, alrededor de quince empleados de Acier AGF trabajan en Beauharnois, pero este número incrementará a cincuenta en los próximos meses para aumentar el ritmo de trabajo y responder a los ajustados calendarios. En efecto, la baldosa de concreto reforzado del edificio, dedicada al almacenamiento, será de casi 2500 toneladas y debe ser terminada antes del invierno.<\/p>\n

El contrato que obtuvo AGF es actualmente de un total de 9000 t de acero de refuerzo. Esto representa aproximadamente entre 350 y 400 t que deben ser entregadas cada semana en la obra, en los periodos de mayor afluencia.<\/p>\n

Generalmente, para los proyectos de esta envergadura, el preensamblado es una buena opción para maximizar el tiempo de instalación y cumplir con los ajustados calendarios que se nos han impuesto, pero en este caso, aunque algunos trabajos de preensamblado podrían ser realizados en paralelo sobre la obra, la mayoría de la instalación debe hacerse en el lugar.<\/p>\n

Les deseamos éxito a todas las partes que participan en este proyecto de construcción ¡cuya culminación está prevista para finales del 2019!<\/p>\n
