PCL Construction has been awarded a contract for the Green Line LRT – SE Project to advance construction of the Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF), a key component of Calgary’s future transit system.

The MSF is a large, multi-building complex that will support day-to-day operations of the Green Line, including the storage, maintenance and preparation of light rail vehicles.

PCL’s scope of work includes site grading, underground utilities, and construction of building foundations. This will establish the base for the facility’s maintenance shop, train storage building and associated operations and administrative spaces.

“This work marks a key step in advancing the complex maintenance and storage facility that will support future Green Line transit operations in Calgary,” said Keith Bowers, manager, civil operations, PCL Construction Management Inc. (Calgary). “We are proud to partner with the City of Calgary and the Green Line team to deliver this important phase of the project.”

Work also includes site stripping and rough grading across the building footprint and surrounding areas, construction of drainage infrastructure and retaining walls, installation of underground services and duct banks and protection of existing utilities. Foundation work will include subgrade preparation and cast-in-place concrete, as well as embedded mechanical and electrical components and anchor bolts to support future structural systems.

Construction began in late May and work is expected to be completed later this year.
