Initially appointed in 2022, the company will now enhance its support by providing a comprehensive suite of technical and project management services for Phase 1 of the LRT line. This phase spans 17.2 kilometers of twin-track infrastructure and includes the construction of 12 new stations, connecting key areas from Shepard in the southeast to the Event Centre/Grand Central Station in the Beltline. The project's aim is to integrate seamlessly with existing LRT lines, thereby improving transportation accessibility across the city.
Stephanie Vaillancourt, President of AtkinsRealis in Canada, highlights the company's extensive experience with complex rail transit systems, both domestically and internationally. She underscores the firm’s commitment to ensuring the successful execution of the Green Line project, which is poised to play a critical role in enhancing Calgary’s economic and social vitality. With a legacy of delivering significant transit projects, including the Calgary West LRT and globally recognized systems such as London’s Elizabeth Line and various metro projects in Doha, Dubai, Riyadh, and Sydney, AtkinsRealis brings a wealth of expertise to the table. The company’s involvement in the Green Line LRT represents not only a vital infrastructure project but also an opportunity to contribute to Calgary's future growth and connectivity.
In conjunction with its expanded role, AtkinsRealis has fortified its presence in Alberta by relocating its Calgary office to a modern facility in the downtown area. This strategic move aligns with the company’s long-term vision of engineering sustainable solutions that connect people and technology across the asset lifecycle. Founded in 1911 through the integration of established organizations, AtkinsRealis continues its mission to support communities with innovative engineering solutions. The firm’s dedication to the Green Line LRT project not only reflects its commitment to Calgary but also its broader goal of fostering sustainable urban development.
AtkinsRealis remains well-positioned to contribute to the success of the Calgary Green Line LRT, leveraging its extensive expertise and local presence. The firm’s involvement in this ambitious project is a testament to its dedication to enhancing public transit and supporting the growth of urban infrastructure in Canada.
