Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the technical and bibliographic analysis of a railway construction project in Quebec, Canada from 1878. The author, an engineer, was commissioned to investigate the best course of action to complete the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway, a project plagued by delays and disputes over the preferred route. The engineer examines the merits of two proposed routes, known as the "Bout de l'Ile" and "Terrebonne" lines, evaluating their cost, construction challenges, and potential impact on the region's economy and transportation network. The book delves into the technical intricacies of bridge construction, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various alignments, and considers the broader commercial implications for Montreal and Quebec City. Ultimately, the author makes recommendations based on detailed analysis, providing valuable insights into the decision-making process surrounding major infrastructure projects and the factors that shape their development.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the historical and existing technical issues surrounding Montreal's water supply system, particularly the obstruction caused by ice formation in the intake canal. The author, a skilled engineer hired to inspect the city's waterworks, discusses the challenges of sustaining Montreal's water supply, especially during the cold winter months when ice accumulation impedes water flow and reduces the pumping capacity of the system. The author carefully examines two primary solutions: extending the intake canal further upriver to increase water depth or constructing an entirely new and larger canal. The author assesses the strengths and drawbacks of each option, considering factors such as cost, engineering feasibility, and potential effectiveness in resolving the water supply issues. Emphasizing the urgency of addressing these challenges, the author also explores the possibility of using steam-powered pumps as a temporary measure until a permanent solution can be implemented. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of securing a reliable water supply for a growing city like Montreal, especially in the face of seasonal challenges. The author's insights offer valuable perspectives on the complexities of urban water management and the significance of technological advancements in overcoming these challenges.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the construction of a navigation route between Montreal and Lake Huron via the Ottawa and French Rivers, detailing a thorough examination of the waterways and infrastructure necessary for such a project. The author, a civil engineer commissioned by the Canadian government in 1856, presents his findings after three years of extensive surveys and soundings. While initially tasked with determining the feasibility of establishing a continuous navigation system for commercial vessels, the author's research uncovered a wealth of information about the rivers and surrounding areas, including the potential for abundant water supply, the need for canal systems, and the presence of natural resources. The book provides valuable insights into mid-19th century engineering practices and the challenges of developing infrastructure in remote regions, making it a valuable resource for historians, engineers, and anyone interested in the development of Canada's transportation networks.
