Société de transport de l’Outaouais – Rapibus

Bi-Directional Corridor Construction

We were awarded the contract to build the Rapibus in Gatineau, a 12-kilometre bi-directional corridor located along a railway line, entirely dedicated to buses and cyclists.

The project consisted of building 10 bus stations with park-and-ride facilities and bicycle paths running parallel to the corridor, linking Gatineau to downtown Hull and downtown Ottawa. In addition, we relocated the railroad tracks a few metres.

Moreover, we were responsible for site health and safety, schedule planning and construction supervision. We also participated in the final design, making value-added contributions to the project.

To successfully complete the mandate in accordance with the STO's expectations, we collaborated with professionals, architects and engineers.

The Need for Soil Rehabilitation

We followed a large-scale soil remediation program that required the reuse of the existing granular layer under specific conditions or the complete removal of contaminated soil.
