Field notes.
Camps, abatement, industrial construction — written like a job, not a brochure.

Installing a mining camp in Quebec
A camp is not a row of trailers. It is a pad that holds, a lift plan, and a sequence that survives winter.

Asbestos abatement in a camp
A worker dorm with asbestos is a construction job with a contaminant. Sequence first.
2026-08-26
Mould in prefabricated modules
A mouldy dorm is not housekeeping. Containment and removal.
2026-09-02
Lifting modules — the plan
A 60-foot dorm does not fly on a wish. It flies on a plan.

Civil works for a camp pad
If the gravel is not drained, the modules move.
2026-07-15
Selective demolition with asbestos
Open only what must come out.

QHSE as a mining subcontractor
Procedures on the ground. Not a lunchroom poster.

Trois-Rivières as a base for Abitibi
Head office in Mauricie. Crews on the mining road.

Industrial restoration after a loss
The loss opened the building. We clean it, then we close it.

Mobilizing a James Bay job
Access, season, rooms. Priced in the mandate.
2026-04-22
Air controls on the job
The numbers come from the lab, not from us.
2026-04-08
FIFO crews on remote jobs
The camp is not a hotel contract. It is rooms for a crew that builds.
2026-09-09
Industrial abatement is not housekeeping
A dirty camp is not a contaminated camp. Housekeeping is the operator. Asbestos, mouldy gypsum and HEPA containment are another trade.

Camp integrator, not manufacturer
A camp is a supply chain. Structures, skids, kitchen, network. We put them together. We do not pretend we welded them all.

Preliminary camp design
A 136-bed camp is thought through before the first pile. The study says whether it holds. Execution drawings seal with the file’s engineers.

Nordic camp thermal envelope
SOPRA-ISO lists R-5.7 per inch at 24 °C. A camp at −40 °C is not sized from that line alone. We stack, we derate, we say so.
2026-06-04
CSA A277 and the prefab camp
An A277-certified module arrives cleaner. It does not arrive cribbed, anchored and tied in. That is the jobsite.
2026-03-18
Canadian sourcing for a mining camp
Pro-Fab, Toromont, H2O Innovation, Soprema: plants that exist. That is not “LPT signed with”. It is a chain we know how to call.

Demobilizing a mining camp
A camp at end of life is not a yard sale. Lift before you sample, and you spread it. Sample first, and modules can still be reused.

48-hour camp feasibility study
We can frame a pilot in two days if the site is known. We do not set 136 beds in two days. Keep the two sentences apart.

Aqua-Loop: water on a nordic camp
136 people, two meal services, showers, kitchen, laundry. Without a loop and freeze protection, the camp stops. The study says so. The seal is still not ours.
2026-01-21
Nordic camp microgrid
A lone generator hunts and wears out. A 136-bed camp has a peak, a night, and solar that does not produce in December. That gets sized.
