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.
