The Proposed Project

The project is to build a new building with an area of 1,200 m2 to house the 6th Field Artillery Regiment. The building will be located in Lévis on already serviced land adjacent to the armory on rue de Arsenal. The soils of the target site are contaminated with heavy metals, PAHs and VOCs. The work will include management of the soil required for the construction of the new building only.
