HISTORY : The Olympic adventure
|
Twelve years after its foundation, the leaders of SCHOKBETON
offer their services for the prefabrication of the principal
structures of the Olympic Stage of Montreal.
On April 6, 1972, Jean Drapeau, mayor of Montreal, declared
publicly that his city would welcome the Olympic Games
of 1976. SCHOKBETON Inc. was granted the contract to build
the essential structures of this grand realization. The
Olympic stadium consisted of three main elements: the
annular shape of the stadium, the central mast and the
spherical vault at the base of the tower.

During the spring and summer of 1975, Saint Eustache's
plant counted 1000 employees working around the clock,
seven days per week, in order to respect our commitment
for the games to be held as planned.

The mast of the stadium, 168 metres in height is an audacious
example of prefabricated concrete's capacities.
