The engineering and construction firm of SNC-Lavalin has been awarded two rail and transit contracts in the United States.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has awarded SNC-Lavalin a five-year contract for engineering and administrative consultancy support services for the electric locomotives and multi-level cab and coach car procurement projects. The contract includes management, engineering oversight and review, and quality assurance activities. The contract is valued at US$13.7 million.
SNC-Lavalin was also awarded a contract to provide consulting engineering oversight and project management services relating to the light rail vehicles being procured to operate on Maryland Transit Administration’s (MTA) Purple Line project. The light rail Purple Line will travel 16.2 miles and feature 21 stations in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. The contract was awarded by Purple Line Transit Partners (PLTP), the private partner selected by the MTA to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Purple Line project.
“We are proud to have been awarded these two strategic projects in the United States,” said Marc Rivard, executive vice president infrastructure engineering, SNC-Lavalin. “This demonstrates our ability to work closely with our clients and partners to deliver world-class expertise.”
