GOLD LEED CERTIFICATION - TRICENTRIS TERREBONNE
TRICENTRIS - Centre de tri, Terrebonne is the fourth building in the Province of Quebec to obtain, on April 7, 2010, the GOLD LEED certification. The project stands out with the energy saving systems, storm and waste water management, its green roof and quantity of recycled and local material used. PREMIERE is proud of this achievement that fully satisfied TRICENTRIS objectives. Congratulations to the team; this is a perfect application of our Integrated Design Process (IDP).
ENERGIA 2009
The SOBEYS refrigerated distribution center built by PREMIERE in Trois-Rivières was awarded a mention by the AQME at its 2009 annual ENERGIA award gala, in the "SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN BUILDING" category.
INAUGURATION OF CASCADES TISSUE GROUP'S PLANT EXPANSION
Last October 19, Cascades Tissue Group inaugurated the significant expansion of its tissue paper plant located in Lachute in the presence of the Premier of Québec, Jean Charest, and MP of Argenteuil, as well as many other politic personalities.
This expansion project will be the first in its category in North America to be awarded LEED certification. The stained-glass windows and the principal bell come from the former Saint-Julien church located in Lachute and have been harmoniously integrated into the global design. The structure of the buliding is a glued-laminated wood frame coming from Chibougamau.
If you want to have more details on this green building, please consult the brochure given during this inauguration.
LEED AP - CANADA GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
Last March, Louis Thériault, president, obtained the "LEED Accredited Professional" (LEED AP) title from the Canada Green Building Council. This LEED professional recognition allows Construction PREMIERE to play a decisive role as facilitator for eventual project certification.
ENERGIA 2008
Congratulation to TRICENTRIS for the ENERGIA award received on November 13, 2008 from the Association québécoise pour la maîtrise de l'énergie (AQME) in the "SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN BUILDING" category. This is for their new sorting facility in Terrebonne which is registered for a LEED certification (gold).
Construction PREMIERE is proud of this succesful Design-Build achievement.
AWARD OF MERIT / CISC-QUEBEC
Construction PREMIERE received the Award of Merit from the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC-Quebec) for the design and construction of CGC's new 109,000 square feet Rock Shed at their Montreal's plant.
INNOVATION
In 2007, PREMIERE was selected by TRICENTRIS to design and build their new Sorting Facility in Terrebonne which is in the process of a LEED certification.
Glass recycling do not have much openings. Construction PREMIERE has developed a new way to re-use glass by substituting aggregates with glass fragments in the concrete mix used for a new floor slab-on-grade.
Despite very high level of uncertainties, the 2,500 square feet floor was poured without problem and the results are successful.
Since this innovative way to build had many technological challenges, Construction PREMIERE has retained the services of LAFARGE and made the UNIVERSITY OF SHERBROOKE a partner in the project.
While showing proper engineering properties, this floor slab has a distinctive and attractive look.
