Montreal’s R\u00e9seau express m\u00e9tropolitain (REM) project involves the construction of a fully automated electric light-rail transit system. It is the largest mass transit project in Quebec in the last 50 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comprising a 67-kilometre double-track line with 26 stations, the network will link the South Shore, the North Shore, the West Island, downtown Montreal, and Pierre-Elliot-Trudeau airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connected to Montreal\u2019s existing transit networks, the REM aims to enhance the Montreal metropolitan area’s transportation options and make it easier for users to move around Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the construction of the REM, NouvLR is the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contractor, and Equans is its subcontractor for the catenary work package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equans requested SYSTRA Canada’s services to carry out a rail safety audit of its catenary work on the REM project, and to identify areas for improvement that would complement the organization put in place by Equans in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SYSTRA Canada carried out the electrical safety audit in five phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHASE I:<\/strong> Kick-off meeting; Presentation of the safety audit plan to Equans and NouvLR; Review the list of inputs to be collected after the kick-off meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHASE II:<\/strong> Analysis of inputs; Organization of weekly follow-up meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHASE III:<\/strong> Drafting of Level 1 audit report based on documentation analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHASE IV:<\/strong> Visit construction and assembly sites; Interview project and site managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHASE V:<\/strong> Drafting of the Level 2 audit report, which summarizes documentation analysis, site visits, and interviews; Recommend areas for improvement in electrical safety for the REM project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
