From Ontario to British Columbia
Celebrating two breakthroughs across the country.
Mathias Knoll, his team and all at VMT are very proud to be involved in two major infrastructure projects in Canada:
- Eglinton Crosstown West Extension Project:
After 25 months of tunnel construction, two Herrenknecht EPB shields recently completed tunnels for Metrolinx’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT extension.
The 9.2 km line will run from Mount Dennis to Renforth Drive, mainly underground, adding seven stations and significantly reducing local traffic from Scarborough to Mississauga. - Broadway Subway Project, Vancouver:
Beginning of May, the two TBMs, Elsie and Phylis built by Herrenknecht AG TBMs, achieved breakthroughs on Vancouver’s Broadway Subway project, extending the SkyTrain by 4.2 km each. In one of North America’s fastest-growing cities, the Broadway subway project is essential for meeting the changing economic, social, and cultural needs.
In Canada and all around the world, tunnels optimise space in dense urban settings and improve transportation efficiency. We love tunnels and the daily challenges on our construction sites.
A big thank you to our customers and partners in Canada and around the world for the great collaboration.
