With a steady increase in the size and number of projects, the Trois-Rivi&egrave;res team of placers is larger than ever, growing from 18 workers to nearly 30 to meet growing demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trois-Rivi&egrave;res is currently involved in several major projects, including construction of the GM Posco plant in B&eacute;cancour, the Piles Bridge in Shawinigan and a heavy industrial project in Abitibi-T&eacute;miscamingue.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The GM Posco plant in B&eacute;cancour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AGF is proud to play a key role in the construction of this site, which will consist of several buildings: the Cam 1, the Trestle, the Switch House (an electrical building), the Pump House (a building designed to house two tanks) and an administrative building.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the Cam 1 building, AGF helped lay the foundations in phase 1 of the project. We are now working on phase 2, during which a slab is currently under construction. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AGF faced a number of challenges in the construction of this building. Firstly, the frequent changes to the design required AGF to demonstrate great flexibility and exceptional adaptability. Another challenge was night work. &nbsp;To ensure worker safety and avoid the risks associated with working simultaneously with another team installing huge steel girders on the upper level, AGF&#8217;s teams opted for night work, a decision that proved essential to the overall safety of the site.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Piles Bridge in Shawinigan&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the city of Shawinigan, AGF is also involved in the construction of the new Piles Bridge, which will cross the Saint-Maurice River. This 780-metric-ton steel project is scheduled for completion in 2025, with the bulk of the work scheduled for 2024. The complexity lies in the construction of the invert supporting the bridge arch, which requires a high concentration of steel. Another challenge is the limited space on site, which is forcing AGF workers to rethink their methods of building the bridge&#8217;s steel structures.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A major industrial project in Abitibi-T&eacute;miscamingue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Trois-Rivi&egrave;res division is also playing a key role in the construction of a heavy industrial project in Abitibi, where it has already completed around 30% of the work. To date, a notable challenge has been the completion of an initial 60-ton invert. After laying the invert, our teams were asked to raise it by 2 inches. It was therefore necessary to dismantle the top of the invert in order to add thicknesses of reinforcing steel and higher chairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the near future, another imposing 140-ton invert will also be built. This one also represents a challenge due to its irregular checkerboard shape, which complicates its design and construction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Congratulations to the Trois-Rivi&egrave;res division for a record year, and for its exceptional contribution to major projects that highlight its exemplary ability to adapt to new challenges!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2508.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Nuestra divisi&oacute;n de Trois-Rivi&egrave;res logra un a&ntilde;o sin precedentes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Este art&iacute;culo fue redactado en colaboraci&oacute;n con Chlo&eacute; Gauvin, Coordinadora de Asuntos Comerciales.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nuestra divisi&oacute;n de Trois-Rivi&egrave;res logr&oacute; recientemente un a&ntilde;o excepcional y estableci&oacute; r&eacute;cords. Con un aumento constante del tama&ntilde;o y del n&uacute;mero de proyectos, el equipo de instaladores de Trois-Rivi&egrave;res es m&aacute;s numeroso que nunca y pasa de 18 trabajadores a casi 30 para responder a la creciente demanda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Actualmente, Trois-Rivi&egrave;res participa en varios proyectos importantes, entre ellos la construcci&oacute;n de la f&aacute;brica GM Posco en B&eacute;cancour, el puente de Piles en Shawinigan y un proyecto industrial pesado en Abitibi-T&eacute;miscamingue.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>La f&aacute;brica de GM Posco en B&eacute;cancour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AGF se enorgullece de desempe&ntilde;ar un papel esencial en la construcci&oacute;n de este sitio, que constar&aacute; de varios edificios: Cam&nbsp;1, Trestle, Switch House (un edificio el&eacute;ctrico), Pump House (un edificio dise&ntilde;ado para albergar dos tanques) y un edificio administrativo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En el caso del edificio Cam&nbsp;1, durante la fase&nbsp;1 del proyecto, AGF hab&iacute;a contribuido a la elaboraci&oacute;n de los cimientos. Ahora estamos trabajando en la fase&nbsp;2, durante la cual se est&aacute;n construyendo varias losas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Para la construcci&oacute;n de este edificio, AGF tuvo que superar algunos desaf&iacute;os. En primer lugar, los frecuentes cambios de dise&ntilde;o exigieron que AGF demostrara una gran flexibilidad y una capacidad de adaptaci&oacute;n excepcional. A continuaci&oacute;n, otro desaf&iacute;o fue el trabajo nocturno. Para garantizar la seguridad de los trabajadores y evitar los riesgos asociados al trabajo simult&aacute;neo con otro equipo que colocaba enormes vigas de acero en el piso superior, los equipos de AGF optaron por el trabajo nocturno, una decisi&oacute;n que result&oacute; esencial para la seguridad global de la obra.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>El puente de Piles en Shawinigan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En la ciudad de Shawinigan, AGF tambi&eacute;n participa en la construcci&oacute;n del nuevo puente Piles que cruzar&aacute; el r&iacute;o Saint-Maurice. La finalizaci&oacute;n de este proyecto de 780&nbsp;t de acero est&aacute; prevista para el 2025, con la mayor parte de las obras previstas para el 2024. La complejidad radica en la construcci&oacute;n del radier que sostiene el arco del puente, el cual requiere una gran concentraci&oacute;n de acero. Adem&aacute;s, otro desaf&iacute;o es el espacio limitado en el sitio que obliga a los trabajadores de AGF a replantear sus m&eacute;todos de construcci&oacute;n de estructuras de acero de puentes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Un proyecto industrial pesado en Abitibi-T&eacute;miscamingue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">La divisi&oacute;n de Trois-Rivi&egrave;res tambi&eacute;n desempe&ntilde;a un papel clave en la construcci&oacute;n de un proyecto industrial pesado en Abitibi, en donde ya ha ejecutado alrededor del 30% de las obras. Hasta ahora, un reto importante ha sido la realizaci&oacute;n de un primer radier de 60&nbsp;t. Despu&eacute;s de colocarlo, se les pidi&oacute; a nuestros equipos que lo elevaran dos pulgadas. Por lo tanto, fue necesario desmontar la parte superior del radier para a&ntilde;adir capas de acero de refuerzo y camillas m&aacute;s altas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pr&oacute;ximamente, se construir&aacute; tambi&eacute;n otro impresionante radier de 140&nbsp;t. Tambi&eacute;n representa un desaf&iacute;o debido a su forma irregular de tablero cuadriculado, lo que complica su dise&ntilde;o y su construcci&oacute;n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&iexcl;Felicidades a la divisi&oacute;n de Trois-Rivi&egrave;res por este a&ntilde;o sin precedentes y por su contribuci&oacute;n excepcional a proyectos de envergadura que ponen de relieve su ejemplar capacidad de adaptaci&oacute;n ante los desaf&iacute;os que se presentan!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was written in collaboration with Chlo&eacute; Gauvin, Business Affairs Coordinator.
