AECOM and SNC-Lavalin Inc. preferred consortium for the design of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM)
MONTREAL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure
firm, is pleased to announce that the NouvLR General Partnership, of
which AECOM is a partner of the design team, has been selected by CDPQ
Infra Inc. as the preferred proponent for the infrastructure
engineering, procurement and construction of the Réseau express
métropolitain (REM).
“We are delighted to contribute AECOM's global design expertise and
local talent toward the success of this landmark project,” said Michael
S. Burke, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “The REM will
significantly enhance sustainable mobility in the greater Montréal area.
Through interconnection with bus networks, commuter trains and the
Montréal metro, the REM will help ease traffic congestion and reduce GHG
emissions, accelerating Québec’s transition to a low-carbon economy.”
As part of the project, AECOM will design tunnels, bridges, stations,
railway infrastructure (tracks, power and traction systems, etc.), road
improvements, intermodal equipment and other structures as well as work
on obtaining environmental permits, environmental monitoring and urban
integration. Once built, the REM will be the largest automated
transportation network in the world after those of Singapore, Dubai and
Vancouver. The REM also represents the largest integrated public
transportation infrastructure in Québec since the Montréal Metro,
inaugurated in 1966.
