MONTREAL (Feb. 13, 2018) \u2014 AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm, is pleased to announce that the NouvLR General Partnership, of which AECOM is a partner of the design team, has been selected by CDPQ Infra Inc. as the preferred proponent for the infrastructure engineering, procurement and construction of the R\u00e9seau express m\u00e9tropolitain (REM).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to contribute AECOM’s global design expertise and local talent toward the success of this landmark project,\u201d said Michael S. Burke, AECOM\u2019s chairman and chief executive officer. \u201cThe REM will significantly enhance sustainable mobility in the greater Montr\u00e9al area. Through interconnection with bus networks, commuter trains and the Montr\u00e9al metro, the REM will help ease traffic congestion and reduce GHG emissions, accelerating Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s transition to a low-carbon economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the project, AECOM will design tunnels, bridges, stations, railway infrastructure (tracks, power and traction systems, etc.), road improvements, intermodal equipment and other structures as well as work on obtaining environmental permits, environmental monitoring and urban integration. Once built, the REM will be the largest automated transportation network in the world after those of Singapore, Dubai and Vancouver. The REM also represents the largest integrated public transportation infrastructure in Qu\u00e9bec since the Montr\u00e9al Metro, inaugurated in 1966.<\/p>\n
