Construction of the elevated structure in the Technoparc Montréal area

Nature of the work

Construction of the REM’s elevated structure has begun in the Technoparc Montréal area. This work is being done in stages:

1. Setting up an access road and work areas
2. Moving public utilities as needed
3. Drilling in order to build the underground foundation caissons
4. Building the columns
5. Building the pier cap
6. Assembling prefabricated segments using the launching beam, to form the deck on which the REM will run

Anticipated obstructions – Fall 2020

Impacts and mitigation measures

The work will generate impacts such as noise, vibrations, dust, heavy truck traffic and traffic disruptions. Mitigation measures will be implemented as needed to minimize the impacts.

*Work will primarily take place between 6:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. (with exceptions). Work before and after this time period will be necessary to mobilize and demobilize elements required to perform the work and to clean up the site. Noisy work will be concentrated during the daytime and in evenings. However, due to the nature of the activities being performed, certain tasks cannot be interrupted while they are in progress; they must be completed to maintain the integrity of the existing infrastructure. Should this situation arise, the work period will be extended to complete the work already begun.
