The slender and variable geometry, opening onto the outside, created an inviting aura and showcased airport activities on the airside. The unique architectural vision for this expansion could have only been interpreted with the use of steel. The resounding result of this major endeavor would not have been possible without the great collaboration of the architectural firm GLCRM and the steel fabricator Tecno Métal. The challenge was met! It was made possible by the versatility, the high level of performance and the perfect integration of steel into the tools and construction practices necessary for the realization of such a project. Stantec brought all its expertise to the attention to details and aesthetics such that the structural elements perfectly integrate with the architectural vision and allow the complete realization of the envisaged concept. The steel structure for the expansion of the Jean-Lesage International Airport in Quebec was designed by the Stantec team, using a fully integrated BIM approach for all stages of the project life cycle (design, construction, and asset management) a first in Quebec. They were successful in meeting tight deadlines imposed by the client.

Using all advanced technological tools, the Stantec team was able to produce high-quality construction plans in record time, enabling the execution of the work for the terminal building in an accelerated “fast track” mode. Both the design and execution of the work was carried out while maintaining and coordinating airport activities and the level of safety of workers and passengers in the terminal. The first phase of the two-storey expansion basically doubled the surface area of the existing building by approx. Given the demands of an increase in international traffic, the terminal was expanded to having five additional boarding gates, a larger reception capacity and more efficient airport facilities. The expansion and redevelopment of the terminal project named YQB 2018, is the core of this 227$ Million-dollar investment.
