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), Grand­Mère (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.
2
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.

OUR MISSION
‘‘ Supplying our customers with concrete solutions that

competitiveness through close collaboration with all the
players in our industry and our partners in a performing,
safe, and enriching environment, regardless of the
project’s scope or location. ’’

The company also solidly established itself in the
road-paving sector in the Lower St. Lawrence, in
Gaspésie, on the Côte-Nord as well as in the Quebec
City region. Moreover, it consolidated its presence in
Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. During that same period,
Béton Provincial became a key player in the precast
concrete sector through the implementation and
acquisition of plants in Trois-Rivières. Furthermore,
it significantly enlarged its plants in the eastern part
of the province. Major projects include the Muskratt
Falls one in Labrador, requiring over 500,000 cubic
metres of concrete.

TERCIM
Almost 10 million cubic metres of concrete have been
manufactured using Tercim’s high quality cements.
Tercim’s terminal produces high-performance cements

Standards, such as ASTM, CSA, and BNQ. These
high-quality cements meet our northern conditions
and are designed to suit all types of residential, commercial, industrial, mining, and energy projects.
Tercim also includes low-alkalis cements, which, in some
areas, allow the use of local aggregates. For instance,
Tercim offers the following types of cements:
› GUb-SF (Binary)

dance with the environmental regulations. A variety of
materials to meet all the possible needs can be elabo­
rated on­site: abrasives, sifted sand, granular materials
for road construction, cleaned aggregates, and itemized
aggregates for cement concrete and asphalt. The manu­
facturing of such materials is performed in our four
portable state­of­the­art stone crushing and sifting plants.
