The Province of British Columbia has selected a consortium including Toronto-headquartered Aecon Group Inc. as the preferred proponent for the stations contract on the Surrey Langley SkyTrain Project.
The consortium, known as South Fraser Station Partners, includes Aecon, Acciona, and Pomerleau. Aecon holds a 33.3% interest in the consortium.
“Aecon looks forward to working with our client and partners to provide a more sustainable transit option for one of the fastest growing areas in Metro Vancouver,” Aceon’s president and Chief Executive Officer Jean-Louis Servranckx said in a statement last Friday (April 12). “Aecon is proud to bring its experience building large scale transit infrastructure to help deliver this essential project.”
The project includes the design and construction of eight stations, three transit exchanges, nine power substations, and 250 metres of guideway at the SkyTrain’s terminus station. Financial close is expected in the second quarter of 2024.
