MNRF - Three Corner Lake Dam Project - Concrete Repairs

Description de projet

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to carry out various concrete repair solutions to
the Three Corner Lake Dam. ECS completed the sourcing, execution, QA/QC and PM tasks internally and with the help of their local execution partner,
Boyes & Sons Construction, carried out the rehabilitation of the flood control dam.

The repairs included vertical and horizontal repairs to various locations on the upstream, deck and downstream faces, along with extensive crack injection work, expansion joint filling and map cracking repairs.

This work was carried out without any perturbation to the operation of the dam, without any dewatering and while working on a floating work
platform. ECS avoided the need to permit and install a cofferdam through a well planned-out work method.

As this was a Fast-Track project, the work was substantially completed less than a month after holding the contract kick-off meeting on-site. Through
this Turnkey model, ECS controlled all risks associated with product compatibility, delivery delays, execution problems and quantity measurement and
tracking.
