SURREY, B.C. – The Government of British Columbia has named a preferred proponent to design, build and finance the elevated guideway and associated roadworks, utilities and active transportation elements of the Surrey Langley SkyTrain.
The team selected for final contract negotiations is SkyLink Guideway Partners (SLGP) comprised of Dragados Canada, Inc., Ledcor Investments Inc., Ledcor Mining Ltd. and SYSTRA International Bridge Technologies Inc.
Dragados Canada, Inc. and Ledcor Investments Inc. are the proponent and Dragados will also be the design-build contractor along with Ledcor Mining Ltd. and the design contractor is SYSTRA International Bridge Technologies Inc.
The team will start early works to prepare for major construction, including geotechnical investigations, locating utilities and clearing vegetation, while it enters into final contract negotiations with the province.
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, a release said.
The project is being delivered through three separate contracts. Requests for proposals for all three phases were issued in early 2023.
B.C. is continuing to evaluate and discuss for the design and construction of eight new stations, including active transportation elements, such as cycling and walking paths around the new stations as well as for the design, installation and testing of electrical systems, with formal contract award announcements expected in the coming months, the release said.
