Cities across Canada are putting more focus on building transit projects to give people better public transportation options. The goal is to meet both current and future needs while reducing how much we rely on cars.

PCL Construction’s commitment to collaboratively delivering complex, large-scale transit infrastructure projects on time and on budget is at the core of the company’s integrated light rail transit (LRT) construction approach. This approach draws on PCL’s deep expertise in the civil, buildings and industrial sectors. Entrusted by public sector clients, its teams help cities improve access to affordable modes of public transportation while streamlining project delivery, prioritizing safety and minimizing operational and service disruptions in dense urban spaces. 

“Our mandate is to deliver these projects with as few disruptions to LRT operations and adjacent businesses and residents as possible, and to do so in a manner that keeps our teams and the public safe,” says Francesco Contrada, PCL project manager. “Our safety performance is unmatched and is a big reason why clients trust us to deliver these complex civil projects.”

In 2024, PCL achieved an outstanding safety milestone with zero lost-time incidents across its Canadian operations, including trades. This achievement earned PCL the prestigious CCA National Safety Award and reinforced its role as a founding member of the Canadian Construction Safety Council (CCSC).
