City of Calgary – West LRT


The Project

A&B Rail Services was hired to complete “at grade”, elevated track, trench and tunnel guide way for six passenger stations in Calgary, Alberta.  A&B Rail Services partnered with SNC Lavalin for construction of the track through the road crossings, elevated guide ways and trench, and tunnel guide ways.

 

Deliverables:

  • 8 km of double ballasted track construction
  • 3 direct fixation diamond crossovers installed
  • 1 ballasted crossover installed
  • 5 road level crossings installed
  • 3 Flash butt welding plants

 

The Result

A satisfied client and another quality project completed. This time sensitive project is a prime example of A&B Rail Services expertise and, capabilities to execute in a step grade site. The infrastructure work on Calgary’s West LRT required our crew to work in confined spaces including tunnels, sometimes at night, and logistical coordination in challenging locations. What this means for the City of Calgary is that their current West LRT system and community will now be connected to the rest of the LRT network and communities. For A&B Rail Services, it means another satisfied customer in our 50-year journey to become Canada’s largest, most-experienced and most sought-after rail services company.
