Projects / Infrastructure

Project info

TransLink is building a new state-of-the-art operations control centre to handle the growing SkyTrain network, making it more accessible and accommodating more trains for a smoother commuter experience. This expansion features a larger data centre and advanced automatic train controls, providing increased capacity for the growing network.

This centre is expected to be operational for the launch of the Broadway Subway extension and will support the future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain expansion when it’s ready. To ensure uninterrupted operations, this four-storey building includes robust UPS and generator systems.

We are providing electrical and technology solutions for the project, including electrical distribution, lighting, fire alarm, structured cabling, communications cabling, security, and lightning protection. Our team will be installing over 11,700 ft of TECK90 cable, 2,500 ft of 288 strand fiber cable, and 24 5,000 lb UPS cabinets to complete this advanced facility.

Project info

Ranked as #29 on the ReNew Top 100 Canada’s Biggest Infrastructure Projects list, the Broadway Subway Project will extend the existing SkyTrain Millennium Line by 5.7 km from VCC-Clark Station to Broadway and Arbutus in Vancouver.

Designed with “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” principles, the stations will feature an open and transparent layout, good lighting, and top security systems to maximize visibility and safety. With the integration of these stations into Vancouver’s existing transit networks and cycling facilities, this project will help provide fast, frequent, and convenient SkyTrain service to BC’s second largest jobs centre, world-class health services, an emerging innovation and research hub, and growing residential communities.

Our team is providing electrical and technology solutions for the new stations, including power distribution, lighting, life safety, security systems, and communications systems. This includes management and SCADA systems, wayside monitoring, and tunnel ventilation systems. Additionally, we are working with virtual design, including BIM 3D modeling, to assist with constructability review, trades clash detection, and resolution input.

Victoria International Airport—Hold BAggage Screening Recapitalization

Projects / Institutional

Project info

The Hold Bag Screening (HBS) Recapitalization project at the Victoria International Airport consisted of modifying the existing HBS system to improve passenger safety. The changes brought the security screening up to international standards and included improved explosive detection devices and computer tomography. 

Our team provided electrical construction and control cabling for all four-way sorters, spiral power curves, and bag alignment devices VFDs. We installed photo eyes on cable trays mounted above the conveyor systems and terminated them back to five different control panels. All units were linked together via Ethernet IP so the client can remotely monitor from a control room what each drive unit is doing at all times.

Nanaimo Airport Terminal Expansion Phase One Exterior

Nanaimo Airport—Terminal Expansion Phase 1

Projects / Institutional

Project info

In 2016, the Nanaimo Airport Commission Board of Directors approved a 20-year Master Development Plan for the terminal building. The first phase was a $14.2-million expansion of the Nanaimo Airport Air Terminal Building, which officially opened on February 28, 2020. 

The expansion was one of the largest projects in the airport’s history. This project added 14,000 square feet of space, increasing the current footprint by approximately 60% and providing additional comfort and convenience for travelers. 

The scope included a new pre-board screening area with future capacity to screen 1,000 people per hour, a departure lounge that has seating for more than 300 people, and Wi-Fi and device charging stations. The expansion of the airport also allows for the potential for new routes.

Our team provided electrical, security, structured cabling, and audio visual solutions for this project, which included electrical distribution, custom lighting and lighting controls, fire alarm, in-floor duct systems, public address, video surveillance, and access control.
