Consultant: Robbin B. Sotir - Bioenvironmental engineering specialist

Description:
The Bellerive Promenade is a large linear park of 2,2 km, skirting the St-Lawrence River.
The project lies within the designation of 'Montreal Bleu', an organization created to improve Montreal's waterside. Medialand's intervention related to the third phase of development and aimed mainly at solving important erosion problems. Ground composed of fill and steep river banks required significant stabilization work. Therefore various techniques of eco-engineering were adapted, using erosion control blankets and seeding, to more complex methods of soil reinforcement including woody plant material. Also proposed were paths and spaces to give structure to the park, exploiting views and supporting activities such as walking, fishing and site interpretation.
