VIA Rail Toronto Maintenance Centre(TMC) Expansion

Project Value: $5 Million

Our team successfully executed a comprehensive modernization of VIA Rail’s Toronto Maintenance Centre, showcasing our expertise in complex rail facility upgrades. This strategic project demanded precise coordination between demolition, installation, and operational safety while maintaining VIA Rail’s stringent quality standards.

Infrastructure Removal & Recovery

The initial phase required meticulous planning and execution to safely remove existing infrastructure while ensuring zero impact on adjacent operations. Our scope included:

Advanced Track Systems Installation

We implemented 2,000 meters of sophisticated track infrastructure, integrating multiple specialized systems to meet VIA Rail's operational requirements. The installation encompassed:

Specialized Track Solutions

Our technical expertise ensured each component was installed with precision, including comprehensive ballasting, surfacing, and professional thermite welding to guarantee long-term reliability.

Operational Safety & Rail Traffic Management

Throughout the project, maintaining operational safety was paramount. Our approach integrated:

This meticulous attention to safety and operations planning enabled us to:

Project Impact

The TMC expansion has significantly enhanced VIA Rail's maintenance capabilities while establishing a foundation for future operational growth. Our integrated approach to design, installation, and safety management has delivered:

Project Highlights

Our forward-thinking approach to this project is exemplified by our extensive groundwork
preparation. Beyond meeting the immediate needs of the terminal, we planned for future
expansion. This proactive planning ensures that the terminal can grow seamlessly to meet
increasing demand without the need for disruptive construction in the future

Accessibility and durability were key considerations in our design. The Asphalt Grade Crossing with Rubber Rail Seal provides a smooth transition for vehicles crossing the tracks while also reducing noise and vibration, minimizing the terminal’s impact on the surrounding area. The Timber Grade Crossings offer versatile access points throughout the facility

Environmental considerations were integral to our design and construction process. The
installation of CSP culverts ensures proper drainage throughout the site, protecting the integrity of the rail infrastructure and helping to control erosion and manage water flow, thus minimizing the terminal’s environmental footprint.

Ongoing Commitment

Our commitment to this project extends well beyond the construction phase:

This ongoing involvement ensures compliance with all relevant safety and operational standards, and allows us to provide continuous support, maximizing the terminal’s operational
efficiency and lifespan.

Conclusion

This Bitumen Rail Terminal project stands as a testament to our company’s capabilities in delivering complex rail infrastructure solutions. It demonstrates our ability to combine technical expertise with innovative design, always with an eye toward future needs and environmental responsibility. From the initial design phases through to ongoing maintenance, this project underscores our commitment to long-term client satisfaction and our position as a leader in the rail infrastructure industry
