SURREY, B.C. – The Government of British Columbia has selected a preferred proponent team to design and build the systems and trackwork for the Surrey Langley Skytrain project.
Transit Integrators BC has been selected to enter into final contraction negotiations. The team consists of AtkinsRéalis Major Projects Inc., AtkinsRéalis Canada Inc. and Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd.
Transit Integrators BC will start initial design work and planning for the systems and trackwork of the project, a release said. Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd. is a Surrey-based company that has contributed to previous SkyTrain projects including the original Expo Line, Millennium Line, Canada Line and the Evergreen extension.
The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project is a 16 kilometre extension of the Expo Line from King George Station to Langley City Centre and is the first rapid-transit expansion south of the Fraser River in 30 years.
The project is being delivered through three separate contracts. In April, South Fraser Station Partners was selected to design and build eight new stations for the project, including cycling and walking paths around the new stations and in March it was announced that SkyLink Guideway Partners had been chosen as the preferred proponent to design, build and finance the elevated guideway and associated roadworks, utilities and active transportation elements of the project.
Formal contract announcements are anticipated in the coming months, the release said, and major construction on Surrey Langley Skytrain is expected to begin this year.
