Installation of protective mesh and anchor bolts during rock face stabilization in Quebec

07 — Our expertise

Rock slope stabilization

Rock face stabilization in Quebec protects roads, railways and facilities: securing rock faces, stabilizing cliffs and treating unstable rock slopes.

An unstable rock face can pose a significant risk to workers, users, buildings, roads and nearby infrastructure. Construction & Expertise PG provides complete rock face assessment and stabilization services across Quebec and Labrador.

Our team includes a geologist with more than 20 years of experience, certified rope access technicians and drilling and work-at-height specialists. This combination of expertise allows us to assess the condition of the rock face, identify at-risk zones and recommend the most appropriate stabilization methods.

Depending on the situation, the work may include rock bolt and mesh installation, anchor grouting, drilling of various diameters and depths, and manual or mechanical scaling of unstable sections. Our crews work on cliffs, rock slopes, excavations, industrial sites and transportation infrastructure.

PG also uses drones to inspect certain rock faces and document areas that are difficult to access. The imagery gathered improves the analysis, supports work planning and tracks the evolution of the rock face. Every intervention follows a structured work method aimed at making the area safe over the long term.

Frequently asked questions

What signs mean a rock face needs stabilization?+

Recurring rockfall, loosened blocks, open fissures, water seepage and root wedging. A drone inspection and structural survey quantify the risk before work begins.

Mesh, bolts or scaling — which technique applies?+

Mechanical scaling removes unstable rock, anchor bolts retain deeper masses and protective mesh contains residual blocks. The three are often combined based on the rock slope geology.

Can a cliff be stabilized without closing the road?+

Often yes. Work is done by rope access with partial or night-time closures, coordinated with the road network operator.

How do you verify installed anchors?+

Through pull tests on a sample of anchors, grouting controls and a signed compliance report, with a recommended periodic inspection program.
