Scope of Design & Construction JV Confederation Line Work involves converting a portion of the existing Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) into a Light Rail Transit system (LRT). The Confederation Line Work involves upgrades at some existing stations, construction of new stations, construction of portions of new track not within the Existing BRT Infrastructure, tunnelling through the downtown core and the construction of a new MSF.
Scope of Design & Construction JV • Stations
Scope of Design & Construction JV • Tunnel • Proposed Construction Methodology - SEM • Substantial reduction of utility impacts • Greater Control over construction methods • Reduced traffic impacts • Reduced bus operations impacts • Reduced business operation impacts • More efficient station design • Reduced surface excavation
System-Wide Safety Certification • Definition • The APTA Manual for Transit Safety and Security Certification defines this as: • The series of processes that collectively verify the safety and security readiness of a project for public use.
System-Wide Safety Certification • Who Does What • RTG/Alstom – Vehicles • RTG/Thales – Automatic Train Control • RTG& City – Communications Systems • RTG – Electrical Systems • RTG – Tunnel Ventilation Systems • RTG – Everything Else, Interfaces, System Integration
