La Tuque: foundations in northern Mauritius
La Tuque, a huge municipality that covers more than 28,000 km² in the heart of the Haute-Mauricie region, is a northern outpost where the weather conditions put the foundations to the test. Located on the banks of the Saint-Maurice River, the city experiences some of the coldest winters in inhabited Quebec, with temperatures regularly reaching -35°C. The frost penetrates more than 1.8 metres into the ground, stressing the foundations well beyond the usual construction standards.
The Canadian Shield and the Saint-Maurice River
La Tuque is built on the border of the Canadian Shield and the lowlands. Precambrian rock outcrops in places, while the St. Maurice Valley is carpeted with alluvial deposits and sand. The spring flooding of the Saint-Maurice, fed by the Gouin Reservoir and snowmelt in the boreal forest, raises the water table and saturates the soil around the riparian foundations. Foundation cracks in these areas are often accompanied by seasonal infiltration.
Paper City and Built Heritage
The development of La Tuque is intimately linked to the pulp and paper industry. Working-class neighbourhoods, built mainly in the 1920s to 1960s, have concrete block or formwork concrete foundations that have endured more than 60 extreme winters. Crack injection with flexible polyrethane withstands the exceptional temperature ranges of the region. Our contractors serve La Tuque, Parent, Wemotaci and the entire Saint-Maurice corridor as far as Grand-Mère and Trois-Rivières. Free inspection.
