This immersed tunnel under the Fraser River will replace the existing George Massey tunnel on highway 99 between Vancouver and the communities to the south and the U.S. border — which has become outdated and insufficient. It will serve as a vital transportation link, reduce travel times, improve transportation safety, and offer better public transit options. It includes:

• A twin-tube immersed tunnel with 4 traffic lanes in each direction, 2 of which are dedicated to public transit, with a total length of 1,100 meters including cut-and-cover approach sections; the immersed sections have a total width of 45 meters
• A multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists between the two tubes
• A new bridge over the Deas Slough with 2×4 lanes, 380 meters long
• Access interchanges
• Various structures, retaining walls, etc.
• Technical buildings for ventilation and services

The innovative and advanced design solutions of the immersed tunnel will prioritize sustainable construction practices.

Upon completion, the existing tunnel will be dismantled.

As part of this project, INGEROP, together with its subsidiairy, Rendel, is responsible for the independent category 3 verification of the tunnel.

This mission includes validation of the design studies and independent checks of the critical structures (tunnel, viaducts), helping to identify and mitigate risks.

The Confederation line extension project consists of two extensions, to the east and west of the existing line. The project is being carried out in several phases. Following the commissioning of phase 1 in September 2019, phase 2 will operate the same signalling systems (CBTC supplied by Thales).

Our mission

As part of this project, Ingerop has been commissioned to provide independent monitoring of signalling and train control tests.

Ingerop’s mission is to :

• Understand the performance requirements of the contract,
• Study the technical solution implemented by Thalès,
• Review Thalès’ SAT and SIT test procedures,
• Be part of the test organization team and participate in SAT and SIT tests,
• Follow up on tests and certify that they have been carried out correctly,
• Implement a conflict resolution system, including decision-making.

The Ontario Line is a project for a new automatic subway line, about 13 km long, to serve densely populated areas, as part of an ambitious program to modernize and electrify public transport.

Our mission

As part of this project, Ingerop was called upon by the OTG Ontario Transit Group (FERROVIAL -JANIN – VINCI) during the design-build tender phase to provide a critical review and expert opinion on the electromagnetic studies, including tunnel ventilation, HVAC, electrical power, as well as the interface with the Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance (MRSEM) package.

In addition, Ingerop was retained by Asltom Canada to prepare their bid (with John Laing and FCC) for the catenary component. The mission included :

• setting up a design reference framework, taking into account local regulations and Alstom’s scope of supply
• managing the catenary studies carried out by Alstom’s back-office teams in StOuen
• costing of the project

Gaspésie Railway (CFG) and Québec Central Railway (CFQC) are two ambitious rail infrastructure rehabilitation projects, aimed at restoring and modernizing strategic rail lines in the Gaspésie and Central Québec regions.

The Gaspésie Railway is a mixed rail line, serving both freight and passenger traffic. Due to advanced obsolescence and extensive damage caused by successive storms, the line has been out of service since 2013. In order to breathe new life into this essential infrastructure, the Ministère des Transports du Québec made a commitment in 2017 to rehabilitate the entire network, with a view to relaunching its operation for economic and tourism uses.

The Québec Central Railway, which linked various municipalities in Central Quebec, was heavily damaged by major flooding and has been out of service since 1994. In 2020, the Ministère des Transports du Québec launched a comprehensive network rehabilitation project to restore this strategic route.

Our Mission

Ingerop was mandated by the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité Durable du Québec to carry out the following assignments:

Strategic advisor 

• implementation strategy,
• drafting of technical specifications,
• technical advice on engineering structures,
• cost estimates,
• steering of studies
• drafting calls for tender.

Responsible for operational studies

•  Operations analysis
• Hourly graph modeling with input data
• Analysis of project situations including freight and passenger traffic
• Infrastructure modeling
• Estimation of typical freight or passenger markets
• Optimization of infra/MR/connection system
• Integration of new assumptions,
• Modeling of a stabilized timetable
• Presentation of macro results for each project situation
• Supply of timetable graphs,
• Indication of the number of train paths per day and per category
• Evaluation of freight and passenger capacities
• Identification of requirements for crossing stations, freight sidings and signalling systems.

Ingerop Canade’s work on this project also included operational and load-bearing studies to ensure that the planned siding and track equipment was suitable for the anticipated traffic and operating mode. In addition, Ingerio Canada was commissioned to propose a maintenance strategy including, among other things, inspections, work, necessary tools, intervention methods, human resources, and a high-level estimate of annual costs.
