Located in the Bécancour Industrial Park, Nemaska Lithium’s new lithium conversion plant will play a central role in the development of the lithium-ion battery supply chain. The 300,000 m² industrial complex will include process buildings, storage areas, storage silos, an electrical substation and parking areas. The plant will transform the ore extracted from the Whabouchi mine in Northern Quebec into lithium hydroxide, an essential product for battery manufacturers who are expanding rapidly, particularly in the North American market.

Artelia was commissioned to provide a number of technical services for this major project. Prior to construction, our team carried out in-depth geotechnical investigations and a complete environmental characterization of the site, providing a detailed understanding of soil and groundwater conditions and the environmental impacts associated with the project. Currently in the construction phase, our teams are overseeing all foundation work for buildings and equipment, ensuring that the highest safety and quality standards are met.

We also carry out rigorous inspections of the materials used, guaranteeing their conformity and performance.

Our expertise contributes to the strength and durability of this strategic facility for the North American battery industry.
