Labrador Iron Mines (LIM) and Tata Steel Minerals of Canada (TSMC) are leading Canadian producers of iron ore with a weekly average production of 200,000 m.t. <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mines are located near Schefferville, Northern Quebec, in a zone with discontinuous permafrost and temperatures reaching -55\u00b0C (-67\u00b0F) in winter (north of latitude 54). They sought to significantly increase their capacity to transport iron ore to the port of Sept-\u00celes and to connect other deposits in the region to their rail network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYSTRA Canada was hired to provide technical assistance in needs analysis, design, engineering procurement construction, and management services for two terminal yards, a loop of more than 480 cars, and a railway link of over 30km. The mandate responsibilities evolved to include storage and loading of ore, generating major civil engineering and construction supervision work as well as environmental protection requirements. All aspects related to railway operations and rolling stock were also included in this mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
