MONTREAL, April 23,
2024 /CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis [SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.]
(TSX: ATRL), a fully integrated professional services project
management company with offices around the world, is thrilled to
announce that it has been awarded a contract from the Groupe
Héritage Île-d'Orléans S.E.N.C. as part of a project for the new
Île d'Orléans Bridge developed by Quebec's Ministère des Transports et de la
Mobilité durable (department of transportation and sustainable
mobility).
As part of a consortium with TYLin, AtkinsRéalis will oversee
the design of roads, interchanges, approach spans, terrestrial
structures, landscaping and related works on both shores of the St.
Lawrence River.
"For more than a century, our company has been proud to carry
out major projects that shape Quebec's landscape," said Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief Executive
Officer of AtkinsRéalis. "Winning this new contract is another
example of our ability to deliver sustainable solutions that
connect people, data, and technology to deliver infrastructure that
meets the highest standards in engineering and environmental
management. We are thrilled to be part of this collective effort
for the benefit of residents across the region."
"This iconic project of the new Île d'Orléans Bridge marks an
important milestone for AtkinsRéalis. This will be the fruit of a
collaboration between our team from the Quebec City area and more than 100
professionals across Canada,"
added Stéphanie Vaillancourt, President, Canada at AtkinsRéalis. "We are proud to have
already contributed to several important projects for the
development of our National Capital, such as the Quebec City amphitheatre, the Jean Lesage
International Airport and the new hospital complex at the Hôpital
de l'Enfant-Jésus. Once again, it's a pleasure to lend our
expertise to this signature project for the region."
Project highlights:
- Strategically located 200 m west
of the existing bridge, the new construction will replace the old
bridge with a state-of-the-art 2.1 km-long cable-stayed
bridge.
- A new interchange will be constructed on the north shore at the
junction of A-40, Route 368, and Route 138, in addition to the
reconstruction of A-40 and Route 138 (Sainte-Anne Boulevard).
- An integral part of the project is the construction of a
compensation pond for the wildlife habitat, connecting roads, as
well as power supply, lighting, smart transportation, and
telecommunication equipment.
- A comprehensive sustainability plan as measured by the Envision
system1, developed by the Institute for Sustainable
Infrastructure, will be incorporated into the project.
