Additional explanations

This subclass includes in particular construction work relating to:

• pylons and poles;
• cables and cable splices;
• wind turbine bases or complete erection of wind turbines;
• grounding and modification or repair work on electrical distribution stations belonging to an electricity distributor (Hydro-Québec). Construction and earthing work for private stations (eg: commercial building or factory) falls under subclass 16.0, electrical contractor;
• work on an electrical substation inside a power station.

This subclass also includes construction work relating to:

• the excavation of trenches, the laying of conduits, draft chambers, etc .;
• the installation of underground counterweights and earthing.

This subclass allows its holder to carry out construction work included in the following subclasses when it concerns a civil engineering work referred to in this subclass:

• 3.1 Contractor in concrete structures;
• 4.1 Contractor in masonry structures;
• 5.1 Contractor in metal structures and prefabricated concrete elements;
• 6.1 Contractor in wood frames;
• All works included in Annex III.

This contractor may also perform work that falls under one or more specialized subclasses above when this work is part of a project relating to his subclass (1.7).

This subclass also allows its holder to to execute submerged civil engineering work included in subclass 1.6 when it concerns a civil engineering work referred to in this subclass.

NB: Electrical supply work between the distributor’s connection point and the electrical installation is the sole responsibility of the electrical contractor (16.0).
