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.
