Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension stations get contractor [Video]

B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has selected the team it wants to design and build the eight new stations that will make up the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension.

The ministry announced Friday that it has selected South Fraser Station Partners as its “preferred proponent team” for the stations.

Two other groups are being hired for the design and construction of the elevated guideway and the systems and trackwork, respectively.

In total, the project is expected to cost just over $4 billion, according to the ministry.

South Fraser Station Partners is comprised of four companies – Aecon Constructors, Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc., Pomerleau BC Inc., and AECOM Canada Ltd.

As the province’s preferred proponent team, the group will now enter contract negotiations with the government and begin early works on the project, “such as pre-construction site surveys, locating utilities, geotechnical drilling and station design work,” the ministry said in its announcement.
