Spanish engineering and technology group Sener participated as independent verification engineering in the new REM metro system in Montreal, Canada, as the company reported this Wednesday. The first section, which connects Brossard station to Central Station, was inaugurated on July 31, constituting the largest public transport project carried out in Quebec over the last five decades.

Sener stepped up her activity in Canada a decade ago, where, it is said, “she was involved in virtually every rail and transportation project developed.” Ángel Ares, vice president of the company in Canada, indicated that the company’s activity in the country results in “faster trips, less travel time and savings for those who change cars for the Subway “.

The new Montreal metro will have 26 stations, including five underground, eight on viaduct and thirteen on the surface and will cover 67 kilometers, including 18.2 on elevated structures.

Sener’s task is to carry out an independent verification of the contractor’s design, in addition to applicable local regulations, to verify compliance with the technical design, construction and operation requirements defined in the contract. In this sense, the entity is also responsible for issuing a compliance report.

The Canadian investment fund CDPQ carried out the planning, financing and construction of the new Montreal metro. Additionally, it will continue construction of the remainder of the C$6.9 billion project, with support from the Quebec government and the Canadian government.
