Preferred bidder for CAD 2.83 bn subway project in Canada
The ACCIONA-Ghella consortium led by ACCIONA has been selected by the Province of British Columbia in Canada as a preferred proponent for the Broadway Subway PPP Project. The project is an extension of the Millennium Line and a key link in Metro Vancouver’s transportation system.
The CAD 2.83 billion (USD 2.08 billion) contract includes the design and construction of 5.7 new kilometres of network, part of which will be underground, including twin tunnels with an excavation diameter of six metres (5.2 metres internal diameter) as well as six new stations.
Construction of the subway will involve works starting in 2020, with the new extension opening in 2025. Once in service, the journey time on the Millennium Line will take eleven minutes, saving passengers an average of 30 minutes a day while alleviating traffic congestion in the city.
The project, using a design-build-finance approach, is funded and delivered by the Government of British Columbia, with contributions from the Government of Canada and the city of Vancouver.
The consortium selected by the Province of British Columbia comprises ACCIONA (60%) and the Italian firm Ghella (40%), which has important experience in underground works. Both global companies have previously collaborated to construct iconic international transport infrastructure such as Scandinavia’s longest railway tunnels for the Norwegian railway authorities (the Follo Line); the Legacy Way tunnels in Brisbane (Australia); or the Bologna Node on the Milan-Naples high-speed rail section in Italy.
The full company list of the Acciona-Ghella consortium is:
- Proponent: Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc. / Ghella Canada Ltd.
- Design-build contractor: Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc. / Ghella Canada Ltd.
- Design contractor: IBI Professional Services (Canada) Inc. / DIALOG BC Architecture Engineering Interior Design Planning Inc. / Mott MacDonald Canada Ltd. / Ingenieria Especializada de Obra Civil e Industrial, S.A.
