Béton Provincial PRODUct CATALOGUE AN ONGOING HISTORY THAT HAS LASTED FOR OVER 55 YEARS As a native from Matane, Walter Bélanger was early interested in the business world and, at 20 years of age, he already owned a draft horse business. As a man of intuition, he understood that mechanics would soon replace horses. So, in April 1960, he acquired the Deschênes et Bernier Company, a concrete product manufacturer. The company was renamed Béton Provincial Ltd. (BPL), a predestined name that reflects the ambition of its founder as well as the company s expansion. As an outstanding achievement, Mr. Bélanger was prestigiously awarded the Order of Canada as well as the Ordre national du Québec for all of his accomplishments, values, and ideals that contribute to enhancing Canada s and Quebec s profiles. Béton Provincial promptly built and acquired numerous plants in Gaspésie, on the Côte- Nord, in the Lower St. Lawrence as well as in New-Brunswick. In 1973, Béton Provincial has been awarded a major contract and provided concrete for the Outardes -2 hydroelectric power station (Hydro- Québec). Such project required 260,000 cubic metres of concrete and marked a turning point in the company s expansion. Furthermore, it was the first of many more contracts with Hydro-Québec to the present day: Manic- 5 (1985), SM- 3 (2000), Grand - Mère (2002), Eastmain- 1 (2005), Chute -Allard (2010), Rapide- des -Cœurs (2010), La Romaine (2014), to name only a few. But the company is not restricted to hydroelectricity: over the last few years, Béton Provincial elaborated numerous wind parks in the Lower St. Lawrence, in Gaspésie as well as in New-Brunswick. André Bélanger who trained as a civil engineer and holds a MBA gladly joined the company in 1992. Béton Provincial extended its activities to Trois-Rivières, Drummondville, Saint-Hyacinthe, Sorel, Québec, Lévis, and Granby as well as in numerous plants in greater Montreal, the Laurentians as well as Montérégie. Such arrival was backed by a new advertising campaign: L Orange arrive en ville (Translated freely into: The orange is coming to town), which is a nod to the origins and colors of Béton Provincial. It was also during such period that the company implemented its own terminal in the Port of Quebec City for the importation of cement powder. Meanwhile, Béton Provincial began operating a mixing station featuring a world-class technology used to manufacture custom-made cement. Béton Provincial cements meet all the CSA and ASTM Standards. Furthermore, thanks to its high-quality cement (low in alkalis), Béton Provincial is able to provide cost-effective cement solutions. > 2
