Charlesbourg-Lebourgneuf: foundations on the clay plain of Quebec City
Charlesbourg and Lebourgneuf form one of the most populated residential areas in the agglomeration of Québec City. Located at the foot of the Laurentians, this flat territory rests on thick layers of clay from the Champlain Sea that pose constant challenges for the foundations. Charlesbourg’s historical trait – its star-shaped development plan dated 1665 – gave way to intensive urbanization in the 1970s and 2000s, with thousands of houses built on these clay soils.
Champlain Clay north of Quebec City
In the Lebourgneuf sector and along Henri-Bourassa Boulevard, the clay can reach more than 15 metres in thickness. This soil reacts to the seasons: swelling in spring when it becomes saturated with meltwater, shrinkage in summer during droughts. Each cycle imposes differential movements under the foundations, generating characteristic diagonal cracks. The Trait-Carré sector and the streets near the Rivière du Berger are particularly affected. Injecting cracks seals them before water seeps in.
An evolving commercial and residential sector
The rapid development of the Lebourgneuf sector with its shopping centres and condos has modified the natural drainage of the surrounding farmland. The foundations of neighbouring houses, built when the area was still rural, are now under increased hydrostatic pressure due to the waterproofing of the soil by asphalt and concrete. Infiltration through formwork rods and slab cracks is on the rise. Polyrethane injection and external waterproofing are the recommended solutions. Free inspection by our contractors. We also serve Beauport and Val-Bélair.
