MONTRÉAL, May 30, 2024
/CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (TSX: ATRL), a fully integrated
professional services and project management company with offices
around the world, announced today that we have been awarded the
contract to deliver Owner's Engineer (OE) services for the
Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Design-Build Project in
British Columbia by the BC
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
"Not only does this project underline AtkinsRéalis' innovative
approach to excellence, but it also marks another milestone in a
long track record of delivering comprehensive solutions for complex
infrastructure projects across the world," said Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "We thank the BC Ministry of Transportation and
Infrastructure for the continued trust and confidence placed in our
team."
The Belleville Ferry Terminal serves as a crucial link between
Vancouver Island and Washington
State, facilitating cross-border transportation services and
supporting international trade. The redevelopment project will
transform the terminal into a state-of-the-art international
gateway for passengers and cargo. It will also help stimulate
economic growth, while creating a welcoming port of entry for
tourists and business travellers in the region, and greatly improve
the travelling experience of all ferry passengers.
"We will leverage our multidisciplinary engineering teams and
extensive experience in marine terminal projects for the benefits
of the community," said Stéphanie Vaillancourt, President,
Canada at AtkinsRéalis. "We have a
long history of successful project delivery with the BC Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure, having supported various phases
of the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment project since 2017. We
look forward to helping create a more sustainable infrastructure
that enhances the travel experience for all ferry passengers and
meets the evolving needs of this key transportation hub."
The upgraded terminal will align with the Canada-US Land, Rail,
Marine, and Air Transport Preclearance Agreement (LRMA). The scope
of AtkinsRéalis' contract includes:
- Coordinating with the Ministry and the Project Team to prepare
a comprehensive, multidisciplinary Statement of Requirements.
- Supporting the Ministry and the Project Team during the
procurement phase by participating in collaborative meetings with
Design-Build proponents, responding to inquiries, and evaluating
submissions.
- Supporting the implementation of the Design-Build Agreement
throughout the design, construction, and commissioning phases.
