Friday 04 July 2025

Calgary, AB: July 4, 2025– AtkinsRéalis, a world-class engineering services and nuclear company with offices around the world, has taken on an expanded role with the City of Calgary under its existing mandate as the Delivery Partner for the Calgary Green Line LRT. Originally appointed in 2022, the Company will now provide technical and project management expertise including engineering & design, procurement support, construction management, and commercial services to support the delivery of Phase 1 of the LRT line.

"Our renowned expertise in transportation includes work on Canada's and the world's largest, most complex rail transit systems," said Stéphanie Vaillancourt, President, Canada, AtkinsRéalis. “We have acted as a Delivery Partner to various levels of government to design, build, operate and maintain integrated systems that are safe and reliable. We’ll continue to bring our experience to this project that is critical to Calgary’s prosperity, competitiveness, as well as its economic and social vitality.”

The Green Line is the largest infrastructure investment in Calgary’s history. The SE Segment, from Shepard in the southeast to the Event Centre/Grand Central Station in the Beltline, will be the first 16 kilometres of an overall 46-kilometre LRT infrastructure, before connecting with the future Downtown Segment and into the existing Red and Blue LRT Lines. Including the Downtown Segment, Phase 1 will include 17.2 kilometres of twin-track LRT infrastructure with 12 new stations.

AtkinsRéalis' transit delivery expertise encompasses notable projects such as the Calgary West LRT, the Evergreen and Canada Lines in Vancouver, the O-Train South Extension in Ottawa, as well as internationally acclaimed undertakings like London's Elizabeth Line and metros in Doha, Dubai, Riyadh, and Sydney. The Company is also engaged in the systems and trackwork for the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project in British Columbia, in addition to the Alto high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City.

The Company has a long-standing and growing presence in Alberta: from designing roads and highways to operating the Calgary Courts Centre. In 2024, AtkinsRéalis moved its Calgary office to a brand-new, state-of-the-art space at the Ampersand in the city’s downtown.
