project management & Construction services

precision planning, flawless execution

In order to keep the tracks in pristine condition with the ever increasing volume of train traffic, managing railway construction and rehabilitation projects becomes a priority. TTR is responsible for project management and construction projects to maintain the USRC, and supervising construction being performed by outside companies hired by the City or GO Transit.

Construction projects are managed in conjunction with the TTR Project Management department and Manager of Track, and are approved by GO Project Management; when necessary projects are given a risk assessment from the Safety department. Construction on the tracks can vary from constructing new track, to derailment response and emergency repairs.
