Hydro-Québec & CFNP:
Ensuring Critical Network Reliability
A local partner enabling just-in-time delivery of complex steel structures while maintaining operational continuity.
The Challenge
When a Single Day of
Delay Can Cost a Few Thousands Dollars.
When a Single Day of Delay Can Cost $10,000
For Hydro-Québec, modernizing and reinforcing telecommunications
towers is a mission-critical operation with zero tolerance for error,
involving 2,000–3,000 kg of steel per mandate and up to 1,000
unique parts.
Each project requires tightly coordinated fabrication, galvanizing,
inspection, and delivery, supported by daily, precision planning where a
single delay can cost up to a few thousands dollars.
Challenges We Faced
High-Volume Projects
Manufacturing hundreds of unique steel components with integrated galvanizing and rigorous quality control.
Strict Time Constraints
Coordinating production and logistics to meet fixed installation schedules with zero tolerance for delays.
Proactive Transparency
Providing real-time communication on progress and issues to prevent costly surprises at delivery.
