Palais des congrès de Montréal
Queformat’s thorough geotechnical analysis of the Palais du Congrès site made up for the lapses in previous studies and enabled the client to avoid using a formed wall (a wall was used instead).

Building expansion with no geotechnical study
Following a visit to a site where the casings were already in place, Queformat’s recommendations helped the client avoid building on unsuitable ground (insufficient bearing capacity).

Pumping station installed by allowing the structure to sink under its own weight
Geotechnical analysis and optimized calculations enabled the client to build a pumping station without having to erect a temporary ground support system. Queformat recommended using the station’s own weight to sink it into the ground and to use its walls as support.

Glen Yard Remediation, Montreal
In rehabilitating the site of the future McGill University Health Centre (Glen Yards), one of Queformat’s major challenges consisted in the implementation and continual updating of a large-scale work supervision logistics management system.

True North Properties, Montreal
Intending to carry out a major residential and commercial development project in downtown Montreal, Albertan developer True North Properties found the project financially unviable, since certain lots had been acquired based on studies inaccurate of the actual site conditions. In 2002, True North called on Queformat to resolve the problem. Queformat conceived a rehabilitation protocol in compliance with provincial environmental regulation. By September 2006, the site remediation was 75% complete.

The former Angus Shops, Montreal
In 1999, Queformat successfully completed a major project: remediation of the former Angus Shops in Montreal. Mandated to supervise the site rehabilitation, Queformat took efficient charge of every logistical aspect.

Peel Basin (Lachine Canal)
Completed in 2001, the Peel Basin project involved excavating and eliminating an important volume (over 600,000 tons) of contaminated soil within a short space of time. By bringing together an outstanding work supervision team to oversee the process, Queformat was able to meet every deadline and environmental requirement.

Casiloc, Montreal
Construction plans for this multifunctional complex had been based on inaccurate studies misrepresenting the actual environmental conditions. In 2000, Casiloc mandated Queformat to oversee the rehabilitation work needed to precede construction. Working with the owners, Queformat developed alternative solutions that enabled the project to be completed. Results: full compliance with regulations and reduced costs.

Sommets sur le fleuve, Montreal
Queformat’s geotechnical expertise optimized the environmental rehabilitation of the Sommets sur le fleuve site, a major condominium development under Queformat's supervision since 2003.

Mitchell residential development, Montreal
Queformat refined a rehabilitation strategy (including a risk management program) that enabled construction of this large-scale residential development to proceed. Approved by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environment et des Parcs, work on the project began in 2003.

New ÉTS building, Montreal
In 2001 and 2003, Queformat was hired to characterize a new building for the École de technologie supérieure (ETS) and oversee the site remediation. In this case, Queformat’s in-depth knowledge of the environmental characteristics of different areas of Montreal allowed the company to respond with expediency. During the project, Queformat also designed rehabilitation techniques to solve problems that arose in the wake of new regulations concerning the disposal of contaminated soil.
