Limoges and fils Inc mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to be responsible for the Integration and Management of the replacement of the Lac L’Heureux Dam. ECS completed the procurement review and Project Management, Construction Management, provided Quality Control services as well as a full-time Inspector to supervise the work carried out by Limoges and fils.
The dimensioning of the new concrete dam, aluminum walkway, and post-tensioned anchors into the bedrock were all crucial elements conceptualized by separate companies. ECS was responsible for the coordination of the various communications, delays, and modifications to plans between the enterprises to deliver the product to the owner’s requirements.
The Lac L’Heureux project also required the refurbishment of the dam’s dike. This was accomplished by covering the dike with a waterproofing system followed by backfilling with coarse stone to minimize erosion.
