Read MoreHide Full Article
AECOM (ACM - Free Report) won a place on the Ontario Line Southern Civil, Stations and Tunnel (South) project. Selected by Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx, this infrastructure consulting firm will work as a design services provider for the Ontario Transit Group team, which includes seven other companies.
The team’s scope of work includes civil, station and tunnel work for the southern portion of the Ontario Line, which will run from Exhibition Place to the Don Yard portal. The line will connect with more than 40 other transit points along the way, including regional trains, subways, light rail and more.
Jennifer Aument, chief executive of AECOM’s global Transportation business, stated, “With our global expertise delivering reliable, sustainable, and integrated transportation systems, we look forward to providing high-quality solutions that will pave the way for lasting benefits to those traveling within Toronto and beyond.”
Post completion of this project, the Ontario Line is expected to provide faster and more frequent access to transit, with hundreds of thousands of people living within a 10-minute walk of one of its stations.

On Nov 15, ACM received a contract from San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) to provide project management services to reduce wildfire risk and improve electric safety and reliability in selected areas. Again on Nov 10, its joint venture received the California High-Speed Rail Authority contract to provide program management services for the first in the nation electrified high-speed rail line.
Earlier in the month, its South Jersey Transit Partners JV was selected by the Glassboro-Camden Line (GCL) Project Team to provide engineering, project management and additional professional services for the GCL Light Rail project in New Jersey.
