This article was written in collaboration with Marc Fortin, Senior Installation and Production Manager for AGF Steel (Ottawa).
For several years at AGF, teamwork has enabled large-scale collaboration.
Our production and installation capacity is multiplied thanks to our extensive geographical location. This is particularly what allows us to work on great institutional projects such as the Ottawa University Health & Science Building, the Museum of Nature or even the Place du portage project in Ottawa which we are going to tell you about.
The Place du Portage project in Gatineau comprises four major federal government complexes.
We are currently working on the Portage III building with EllisDon, which is also managing the project's seismic design.
At the beginning, this only represented 90 metric tons of reinforcing steel and we were only asked for the supply of rebar since our installation team was already pretty busy on other projects. After several discussions, we finally decided to work in synergy with other AGF divisions.
That's how teammates from AGF in Longueuil came to work for the entire installation. An AGF Tecnik in India is in charge of all the detailing.
It’s truly a team effort. So far, we've installed 123 MT of rebar.
Keep up the great work, team !

El proyecto Place du Portage en Gatineau agrupa cuatro grandes complejos del gobierno federal.
Actualmente, estamos trabajando en el tercer edificio con EllisDon quien, por su parte, se encarga de gestionar el acondicionamiento sísmico del proyecto.
Al principio, este representaba solamente 90 t de acero y nos solicitaron únicamente el suministro de acero, ya que no contábamos con suficiente mano de obra en el lugar para realizar la instalación. ¡Después de varias discusiones, finalmente decidimos trabajar en sinergia con varias divisiones!
Así es como AGF Longueuil se ofreció voluntariamente para realizar toda la instalación. Además, AGF Tecnik, en India, se encarga de la totalidad del detallado.
Es un verdadero trabajo en equipo. Por último, actualmente hemos colocado 123 t de acero. ¡Una gran evolución!
