Laval Metro Rail Installation

As part of the extension of the Montreal metro to Laval, the Agence Métropolitaine de Transport awarded a $35.5 million contract for track and switchgear installation to a Kiewit-led partnership. Crews completed the work in 16 months, two months ahead of schedule.

The scope of work included installing 21,000 linear metres of rail, running rails, insulators and guide bars, as well as nine switchgears. The work also included installing permanent lighting and electrical power (600 volts) in the tunnel. The team was also responsible for quality control.
