Life Cycle Analysis of a Decarbonization Technology

Evaluation of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile of Exterra Carbon Solutions' new CO2 mineralization technology and determination of the distribution of GHGs between the different product streams through a life cycle assessment (LCA). This will allow to obtain a preliminary estimate of the carbon footprint of their technology to help inform engineering design decisions and support internal stakeholder and investor engagement.

Coastal Protection Project in Cotonou, Benin

In Cotonou, the capital of Benin (West Africa), up to thirteen meters of shoreline were disappearing every year due to erosion, swallowing dozens of houses, hotels, and other buildings. In 2003, it was concluded that protective structures needed to be built along seven kilometers of coastline to safeguard the capital. The project included engineering studies and the construction of eight groynes made of concrete blocks and crushed stones over seven kilometers of coast to counter the impact of ocean waves and prevent sand erosion. The use of over 500,000 metric tons of rock, sourced from three quarries located more than 250 kilometers away from the site, along with the establishment of a concrete plant to produce the molded X-blocks, generated numerous local jobs and ensured the success of the project.

Potash Ship Loading System Expansion

Our team performed the detailed design of an expansion project to increase the handling capacity of an existing potash facility from six million tonnes per year to ten million tonnes per year. The project included a new 600-tonne capacity surge bin, modifications to an existing conveyor to create a shuttling head end, a new 6,000 t/h conveyor, a conveyor tunnel, and a vehicle overpass.

Roads, Asset Management,

Support in achieving excellence in asset management

The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated is responsible for five major road transportation and active mobility links in the Montreal region. Asset management has always played an important role for this entity, which is the guarantor of key infrastructures, some of which are almost a century old. This mandate aims to support PJCCI in its asset management practices, enabling them to develop a holistic vision supported by the most advanced asset management standards according to the IAM (Institute of Asset Management). Norda Stelo's experts have been supporting and guiding the PJCCI corporation on this journey since 2016.

Strander Feed Assist

Our team assisted Weyerhaeuser iLevel with the mechanical and structural design for new infeed equipment to provide an automatic veneer feeding system in tandem with ergonomically designed manual feeding stations to produce Parallam™, the world’s only commercially manufactured and marketed parallel strand lumber product.

Energy, Engineering,

20MW Cogeneration Plant

Our team assisted Riverside Forest Products (now Tolko Industries) with the selection and installation of major equipment and the complete building structure for a 20 MW biomass cogeneration plant in Armstrong, British Columbia. The cogeneration plant converts wood waste into renewable energy in steam and power, producing steam for an on-site veneer plant and exporting power to the USA.

Roads, Engineering,

Construction of Highway 85 at Saint-Antonin (Section 2)

Route 185, which used to link Rivière-du-Loup and New Brunswick and was known for its high accident rate, was gradually transformed into a 4-lane divided highway to ensure the safety of motorists. However, the objective was also to reconcile development and sustainability, human safety and that of large wildlife, as well as the protection of flora, waterways, small and medium-sized fauna, all equally essential to the balance of our ecosystems.
