The project will be carried out collaboratively under the ProgressiveDesign-Build model The Ontario Line will be a 15.6-kilometre underground line that will make it faster and easier to travel in and out of Toronto Presence in Canada FCC has been present in Canada for more than 25 years. In 1998 it won the project to build, operate and maintain the Fredericton-Moncton highway. In 2011, it was awarded a section of the Toronto-York Spadina Subway extension, the city’s first modern underground infrastructure project. This project was completed in 2018. This contract, along with the GO Rail Corridor Extension Project and the Scarborough Subway Stations, Rail and Systems Extension Project, strengthens FCC Construction’s presence in the Canadian market. FCC Construcción Canada has won a new contract to develop sustainable mobility in Canada. (“FCC Canada”), forming an international consortium with Webuild Civil Works Inc (“Webuild”), has signed a contract to design and build the Ontario Line Metro’s Pape Tunnel and Underground Stations. This is one of many contracts to develop the Ontario Line, a 15.6 kilometre-independent rapid mobility line through the city that will connect the Eglinton Crosstown LRT (Line 5) at Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue in the northeast of the city to Exhibition Place in the southwest, with 15 stations along its entire route. The new line will provide more than 40 connections to other metro, bus, tram, light rail and regional rail services, saving time for suburban passengers and decongesting the city’s entire transport network. This project is being implemented using a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) model. Key features of a PDB model include the opportunity for greater collaboration between the client and contractor. Prior to entering into a target price contract, both parties will work together to define the requirements, design, price and risk of the project through a development phase. The development of the project will take approximately 24 months, after which construction is expected to begin. The contract calls for the design, construction, supply and operation of three kilometres of twin tunnels under Pape Avenue, between the Gerrard Tunnel and the Don Valley Bridge; two underground stations (Pape and Cosburn); two parallel tunnels; three emergency exit buildings and a railway crossing in the tunnel section near Sammon Avenue. The Pape station will be connected to the Toronto Transit Commission’s underground Line 2, as well as other related works. 40 connections
