Installation of scaffolding at Valero Energy's marine terminal in Lévis

The installation of scaffolding at Valero Energy's marine terminal in Lévis will enable the replacement of a bridge deck to ensure the integrity of the facility.

To carry out this project, suspended scaffolding will be installed under the bridge between caisson 1 and caisson 2. Waterproof shelters will then be installed so that the structure can be cleaned using mechanical equipment and sandblasting. All debris will be recovered and disposed of in accordance with current regulations. The steel structure supporting the slabs will be replaced and the main structure of the bridge will be repainted at deck level. Finally, the deck composed of prefabricated concrete slabs will be replaced along the entire length of the bridge. Once the work is complete, the scaffolding will be dismantled before winter.

The scaffolding under the bridge may present a potential obstacle to navigation. However, no ships or boats travel under the bridge between caissons 1 and 2 of the marine terminal. In addition, the debris generated by the work will be contained and disposed of properly. Therefore, there is no risk of potential impact on navigation or the environment.

The work schedule is from March to November 2026.
