INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURES

In Canada—as in any northern country—many industrial companies carry out a significant number of their projects in hard-to-reach locations and harsh weather conditions. This is coupled with the constant pressure to tighten construction schedules and reduce overall costs of ever-growing projects.

Designing structures that will stand the test of time in such complex environments while meeting tight deadlines and budgets is no easy feat.

Your challenges are complex…

Your projects include significant design constraints and must be carried out quickly; the profitability of your projects and your company is at stake.

Your structures and buildings are important assets that must endure for your initial investment to pay off. They often house, support and protect equipment that is essential to your operations. However, they are constantly subject to a variety of risks that, if not considered at the design stage, can cause the structure and the equipment in it to deteriorate more rapidly. This can be a threat to worker safety: seismic hazards, arid climate, widely varying temperatures, equipment vibration, use of and exposure to corrosive substances and much more.

Your challenges:

  • Reduce the costs and construction time of your structures
  • Extend the lifespan of your structures
  • Provide employees with a safe and healthy work environment
  • Facilitate the maintenance of your facilities
  • Optimize your facilities’ operations
  • Increase your plant production capacity (expansion)
  • Comply with applicable standards and requirements
  • Modernize your infrastructure and make the transition to Industry 4.0
