Why the Polycrete System here
Foundations engineered for the southern Laurentides slopes
-
Sloped terrain and rocky soil
From Saint-Sauveur to Morin-Heights, lots sit on wooded hills with rocky outcrops and steep slopes. The Polycrete System, with its 75 kPa lateral resistance and continuous reinforced concrete core, delivers the stability required to anchor foundations on these demanding terrains.
-
Residential growth and high-end construction
Piedmont, Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs and Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard attract a discerning clientele building permanent, quality residences. The Polycrete System's R-25 or R-29 insulation fits seamlessly into a high-performance building envelope, meeting the requirements of premium projects and LEED certifications.
-
Harsh winters near ski resorts
Saint-Sauveur and the surrounding area face heavy snow accumulation and sub -25°C temperatures over long months. Insulation permanently integrated into the concrete protects foundations from freeze-thaw cycles and significantly reduces heating costs.
-
