Sarens delivered a critical heavy transport scope in Québec, Canada.
The assignment required rapid mobilisation, precise engineering, and disciplined execution under tight timelines and challenging site conditions. The result was a safe, efficient delivery completed ahead of schedule.
Sarens mobilised on short notice to receive nine large equipment modules and one lift frame at the Port of Bécancour. The cargo was offloaded, staged on engineered mats and supports, then transported in five barge shipments with two modules per barge.
At site, Sarens constructed a 60-metre temporary bridge linking the shoreline to a beached barge. This setup supported controlled roll-on and roll-off operations despite restricted access and demanding riverbank conditions.
Each module required dual trailer trains with varying axle spacing. The temporary bridge had to accept multiple configurations while maintaining structural integrity and pace. Sarens engineered a flexible solution that met all load cases without slowing operations.
Bridge mobilization started before final design issuance. This proactive sequencing aligned with inbound vessel schedules and port constraints. Execution finished two weeks ahead of the contractual schedule.
Every component was planned, sequenced, and executed with precision.
Teams worked in relay across disciplines and locations to maintain momentum. Close coordination between engineering, marine, transport, and site crews kept progress uninterrupted.
Gilles Emond supervised the bridge assembly on site. He highlighted the complexity of managing half-load restrictions, varied trailer geometries, and parallel work fronts while maintaining schedule certainty.
Persistent rain affected the site throughout operations. Work continued without incident. Equipment performance remained consistent. Crews maintained productivity and safety standards.
All ten units were delivered successfully, completing Sarens’ scope without delays or rework.
This project is more than just a technical success—it’s a testament to Sarens’ capacity to respond, adapt, and deliver in the most challenging circumstances. Or, as Gilles put it simply: “Proud to be part of the team.”
