Characteristics

The centre’s innovative design set new benchmarks for the functional organization and planning of health services.

Designed with long-term flexibility in mind, the new hospital includes all the services of an acute care hospital at the cutting edge of 21st century health care technology. It is located on a 125,000 m2 site and offers separate entrances for visitors, ambulances, trucks and staff, including four level-2 trauma stretchers. The centre also comprises a thermal power station (two boilers, each with 600 HP capacity, three coolers totalling almost 1,800 tonnes, 2 X 900 kW generator sets) integrated within the complex.

The first emergency department developed according to revised UNFC standards

Among the challenges encountered were the major changes made to the emergency and intensive care department program, which was completely reprogrammed during the preparation of plans and specifications, according to the most recent standards of the emergency department management guide. Following that, electrical and mechanical services were designed according to the very specific features of the equipment models recommended by the hospital. The ventilation/air conditioning systems were designed as per standards and with energy recovery of waste heat from specialized medical equipment. In addition, a central chilled water network and a cooler and its components were connected to the emergency electrical network to serve this equipment in the event of a shutdown of the Hydro-Québec power grid.

Working together to envision tomorrow’s world.

We believe in our employee’s ability to help us create a world rooted in our values of continuous innovation, responsible management and sustainable development.
