Multilevel program
Conception
We stand by your side throughout the entire process.
In 1995, we added a design department to provide engineering support and develop new mechanical parts and equipment.
We take full charge of your project, from start to finish, whether it’s a rehabilitation or a new design. Each project is carefully analyzed by our draftsmen, project managers and engineers. At Aciers Richelieu and Usinage St-Laurent, we use Solid Edge 3D and AutoCAD for our design work.
Our draftsmen and project managers will schedule a visit to your facility to provide consultation, perform evaluations, help with planning and material selection, and conduct measurements.
Levering our expertise, we offer eco-friendly alternatives. Let us assist you in modernizing your equipment through our design department, which comprises 10 highly skilled and experienced designers alongside 5 proficient engineers.

From renovation to turnkey
Aciers Richelieu specializes in rehabilitating heavy industry mechanical equipment, particularly for metallurgical and hydroelectric applications.
Our 40 welders operating on two shifts give us the manpower needed to handle turnkey, new or rehabilitation projects. We are CWB CSA W47.1 / W47.2 and ASME Section VIII, Division 1 U-Stamp certified.
Equipped with several assembly tables, positioners, 28’ below the hook clearance, and a lifting capacity of 50 tons, we have the capability to produce and restore exceptionally large mechanical components.
Through our three plants, encompassing cutting tables, forming equipment, and a range of departments, we possess the capacity to assist in multimillion-dollar projects, from the initial design phase to the final commissioning at your plant.
Aciers Richelieu manufactures turnkey pressure vessels and repairs existing equipment.

Medium to large-scale machining
Usinage St-Laurent specializes in mechanical component rehabilitation in heavy industry, such as hydroelectricity, and new thin-walled and monolithic structures.
Our Fermat 5-axis boring machine is well-suited for machining of blades, impellers, guide vanes and all types of convex or concave surfaces, boasting a remarkable capacity of 20 tons.
Ideal for hydroelectric components such as gate operating rings, top and bottom bases, as well as metallurgical applications, this double-column CNC machine features a substantial 60-ton capacity and a high-speed spindle. Usinage St-Laurent has gained extensive expertise in the rehabilitation and manufacture of hydroelectric components, particularly turbines and alternators.
Usinage St-Laurent has extensive expertise in rehabilitating and manufacturing hydroelectric components, especially the turbine section.
Usinage St-Laurent has been manufacturing thin-walled monolithic structures for aerospace applications for over 20 years. Our expertise and precision have enabled us to machine structures as large as 119’’ x 130’’ (3 m x 3.3 m).

For all industrial maintenance work
Our team is not governed by the Construction Decree. It is run by qualified management staff with many years’ experience.
For a turnkey service for industrial maintenance work such as plant shutdowns, equipment dismantling, mechanical maintenance or welding
Our team of just over 40 employees includes welders, industrial mechanics, engineers and supervisors to complete planned or emergency maintenance work.
What sets us apart
Beyond manufacturing
Our Fermat 5-axis CNC horizontal boring machine with a machining capacity of 158" x 98’’ (4 x 2.5m) with a 78’’ x 94’’ 20-ton rotary table ensures increased productivity and precision, and is ideal for machining concave or convex surfaces.
Chromium carbide is known for its high hardness and wear resistance, it has a dense crystalline structure and excellent thermal stability. These properties make it a widely used material in heavy industry, particularly in mining. Chromium carbide is often used as a protective coating in applications requiring high abrasion resistance, due to its hardness and wear resistance. As such, it is used in high-wear areas for equipment handling fine-grained abrasive materials like dump trucks and much more. In addition, chromium carbide is also used in components exposed to high temperatures without degrading. In short, this unique alloy applied to a steel plate provides a hardness of up to 60 RC. This ensures greater resistance to wear and extends the life of your equipment exposed to severe abrasion conditions, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Aciers Richelieu can provide certified, turnkey pressure vessels complying with ASME U-Stamp Section VIII, Division 1 and B31.1 and B31.3 Pressure Piping requirements. Pressure vessels certified to meet these requirements are custom-built, taking into account pressure and temperature conditions, and materials used. ASME U-Stamp certification guarantees quality, safety and reliability of such equipment, and is often required in regulated oil, steel and chemical industries. By choosing these units, your company can be assured of high-quality equipment that meets the most stringent safety and performance international standards.
We have a lead management program enabling us to sandblast lead-contaminated parts. Until the 1960s, lead was used as a pigment in the majority of oil-based paints. Our procedures allow us to safely remove paint from components in order to carry out inspections and repairs. The process and requirements involve several steps to dispose of contaminated residues and ensure the safety of plant employees. This enables our customer to comply with modern safety standards and eliminate the risks associated with lead exposure. Sandblasting lead paint is often used when rehabilitating hydroelectric components. Abrasive particles remove paint and coating, allowing access to the original surface.
