The 4TRANSIT joint venture has been awarded a CAD $300 million contract for providing technical advisory services for two major work packages tendered under Metrolinx’s 10-year Regional Express Rail (RER) Capital Program. The joint venture comprises three Canadian engineering consulting firms: WSP Canada Group Limited, Hatch Corporation and Parsons Inc.
The RER CAD $13.5 billion Capital Program is designed to transform the GO Transit rail network in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) to a two-way, all-day electrified service, where trains run every 15 minutes or better. This program will significantly boost the frequency and overall number of trips the GO Transit system offers.
“This massive transformation of the GO rail network represents the convergence of innovative technology and a fast-track infrastructure expansion that will benefit everyone in the GTHA. Metrolinx has entrusted Parsons and the entire 4TRANSIT team to help bring this important project to fruition, drawing on our extensive rail transit experience in Canada and across the world,” Mike Johnson, Parsons’ Infrastructure Group President, said.
The 4TRANSIT Joint Venture was created in April 2009 as an unincorporated joint venture, with each of the three partners – WSP Canada Group Limited, Hatch Corporation and Parsons Inc. – contributing an equal one-third share.
