Based in Gaspésie, the family business works in the fields of civil engineering, snow removal and marine works. In addition to harbour dredging and excavation, it offers stone erosion protection and dock construction services.
Les Entreprises PEC wanted to acquire new dredging barges. After several years of operation, the team wanted to acquire more modern, efficient and durable barges.
In order to meet the needs of Les Entreprises PEC, our team focused on providing professional support at all stages of the project. Once the design was completed, we provided the link to a local builder, supplying the necessary information and technical support.
The dredging barge was designed to increase its loading capacity from 40 m3 to 50 m3, a gain of 25%. The customer will enjoy gains in productivity, and therefore in profitability! With its superior design and durable materials, the new barge promises to serve its purpose for many years.
The custom product also includes standard equipment. In case of breakage or wear, Les Entreprises PEC will be able to replace them easily and quickly. We also added protection to the cables and pulleys. This results in greater operational safety, which is a big asset for the crew!
Satisfied with the dredging barge obtained, the client ordered the construction of a second barge. We took the opportunity to slightly modify the dimensions of this one, at the request of the company, which allowed, among other things, for wider doors. This additional improvement leads to faster discharge of the material: another improvement of efficiency!
“Navanex’s professional services deserve a 10/10: impeccable architectural service, excellent technical follow-up, on time and on budget. All team members are readily available and involved in their projects. Each of our meetings was just like them: warm, courteous and focused on the human relationship. Thanks again for your help!”
–Bruno Cayouette, Vice-President and Director of Operations, Les Entreprises PEC.
