Egis will bring its extensive expertise as a global leader in rail and transit projects to the Ontario Line, Toronto’s new subway line, designing and implementing the Overhead Contact System.
The NGE Group’s subsidiary, TSO Can Inc., awarded Egis the design services contract for the 1.5 kV overhead electrification for this subway project in Toronto.
The 15.6-kilometre project encompasses overhead catenary infrastructure along the elevated and at-grade sections of the route and depot areas, as well as overhead contact rail within the twin-bore subway tunnels.
Jean Steenhouwer, Egis in Canada’s Chief Commercial Officer, expressed pride in contributing to the transformative Ontario Line project, emphasizing their rail system expertise: “The Ontario Line is an iconic project that will reshape communities and improve mobility through the GTA, and we are proud to continue our legacy of building integrated subway lines with our internationally renowned expertise in rail systems.”
With over 50 years of experience in urban and railway projects, Egis will leverage its vast local and global rail systems and electrification knowledge to support TSO Can Inc. in adhering to local regulations, ensuring project compliance and contributing to the project's success.
This partnership further solidifies Egis’ successful collaboration with Metrolinx, as they serve as Technical Advisors for the GO Expansion ON Corridor program in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
