Construction of a Potable Water Reservoir in the Territory of Saint-Joseph-du-Lac

This project involved the construction of a new vitrified steel potable water reservoir with a capacity of 2,674 m³, along with a new booster building to ensure water distribution throughout the municipality’s network.

The work carried out included:

• Supply and installation of the reservoir on a foundation composed of driven piles and a structural concrete slab;
• Construction of a booster building integrated into the network;
• Installation of four booster pumps and a generator;
• Implementation of instrumentation, ventilation, piping, valves, and electrical systems necessary for optimal operation.

This key infrastructure investment for the municipality of Saint-Joseph-du-Lac ensures reliable, uninterrupted water distribution while securing service longevity for decades to come.

Project highlights:

• Adherence to a particularly tight schedule through careful planning and efficient execution;
• Completion of a major concrete pour totaling 185 m³ for the reservoir slab, carried out safely and without interruption;
• Targeted work on the city’s main potable water pipeline, including a temporary shutdown, connection, and installation of three valves, performed overnight in just a few hours to minimize impact on the distribution network.
