Combine strategic vision and technical mastery on each project

From the very beginning of the construction project, we installed the test piles required to validate the design of the bridge foundations. Subsequently, our work included the construction of a pier on bored piles, essential to the execution of the bridge works, as well as the installation of box piles for various structures on the project.

A job done according to the rules of the art

The scope of the work carried out by Forage CBF demonstrates our expertise in deep foundations. Our teams installed 350 caisson piles ranging from 700 mm to 2.0 m in diameter, 500 bored piles measuring 624 mm in diameter, over 1,000 bored piles measuring 406 mm in diameter, and over 2,000 driven piles. In addition, we installed over 50,000 sq ft of retaining walls, including Berlin walls and sheet piles.

After nearly five years of work, we are proud to have completed our participation in this major megaproject for Quebec and Canada. Alongside 1,000 dedicated workers, we contributed to the success of this major infrastructure project, totaling 8 million hours worked. Forage CBF remains proud of its role in the realization of this bridge, a symbol of modernity and reliability for generations to come.
