Sometimes you just can’t gamble on the reliability and performance of your mechanical system, and when the facility involved also happens to be the largest construction project built in the Providence of Quebec since 1989 – a toss of the dice just won’t do. That’s why the Casino du Lac-Leamy folded on all other bets and banked the comfort of their facility on Methot Controls and Unilux!
A monumental project located on the shores of Lac Leamy just minutes from Ottawa’s Parliament Buildings, represents a total investment of over $120 million. The structure, completed in just over 12 months, required over 60,000 man-hours – made up of the labor of over 2,500 devoted craftsmen representing 30 different trades. The 394 room Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel and 2,469 seat casino are heated by the “four aces” on the job: (2) Model ZF-2750-W Hot Water Boilers and (2) Model ZF-500-HS High Pressure Steam Boilers.
This fabulous jackpot was no wild card. Michael McNamara and his team at Methot, Unilux’s exclusive representative in Eastern Canada, secured this project with tireless professional dedication and his belief that Unilux would provide the premier quality this outstanding project deserved. Michael’s salesmanship paid off big time when Bouthillette Parizeau & Associates, Inc. of Montreal, Quebec, the project’s engineer, specified Unilux. Contractor for the Unilux portion of the project was Cro-Mex, Inc. of Hull, Quebec.

The Casino du Lac-Leamy (formerly the Casino de Hull) is a government-run casino in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
The casino was opened on March 24, 1996 in the former city of Hull, Quebec, the third of a group of casinos built by the provincial government to raise funds. Ottawa, the larger city across the river, was also planning to build a casino in the early 1990s, but these plans were blocked by the provincial government. The Gatineau casino thus also serves Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. It is operated by Société des casinos du Québec a subsidiary of Loto-Québec. In 2016 the casino provided the government with some $244,679,000 in profit, employed more than 1,400 people and attracted more than two and a half million visitors.[2]
The casino is built on a rocky precipice over what was once International Portland Cement Company quarry but is today Lac de la Carrière. This lake is home to a large fountain, whose jet is visible through much of the old Hull sector during the summer. To the east of the casino is Lac Leamy, from which it gets its name. Attached to the casino is a 349-room Hilton hotel. The casino also has an 1100-seat theatre that has become one of the region's main music venues. The casino is also home to several bars and restaurants. In the casino itself there are more than 1,800 slot machines and more than 65 tables including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps and Texas hold 'em poker. It is open 24/7.
