Forage CBF had the opportunity to participate in the construction of a unique cycle path in North America, running along Highway 132 and crossing the towns of Oka and Mont-Saint-Hilaire. This major project is part of the Greater Montreal Green and Blue Network initiative, resulting from the Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan (PMAD).

Combine strategic vision and technical mastery on each project
One of the major challenges of this infrastructure lay in its 1.7 km pile-supported section, built along the St. Lawrence River, where space was extremely limited between the highway and the shoreline. This context required the application of innovative drilling techniques, adapted to the site's geotechnical constraints.
A job done according to the rules of the art
To meet this challenge, Forage CBF installed 481 bored piles, ensuring optimum stability despite the difficult ground conditions. The use of specialized equipment made it possible to work efficiently, even in steeply sloping areas along the embankment leading to the river. In all, more than 12,000 metres of bored piles were installed on the project, some reaching lengths in excess of 25 metres, providing unrivalled speed and efficiency of execution.
