Laforge-1 hydroelectric power station is a major component of the James Bay hydroelectric complex. Located on the right bank of the Laforge River, this 878 MW facility required the construction of multiple infrastructures, including a vast reservoir, dams, dikes and a flood control system. This strategic project boosted energy capacity while meeting stringent environmental standards.
Co-partnering with SEBJ in a consortium of experts and specialists in project and construction management, we took over complete management of the project, from engineering to commissioning. Our teams coordinated the construction of essential infrastructure, including the water intake, underground concrete penstocks and all hydraulic structures. We also supervised the procurement of equipment and materials, while ensuring compliance with quality and safety standards.
This major project in the second phase of the James Bay project, located 450 km from Radisson on the Laforge River in the Territoire Conventionné, included a hydroelectric power station with six generating units. Thanks to our expertise in project management and collaborative construction management, we ensured efficient and optimized execution of the project, guaranteeing its success on time and on budget.
Driven by our values of technical excellence, proximity to clients and entrepreneurial spirit, we are more than ever determined to be a company that is useful to the world and to people, and that contributes to have a positive impact on the environment and society.
