OMC1 Upgrades: New Guideway and Vehicle Maintenance Shops (VMS3)
In Q3, interior finishing work was performed, and existing running rail was being tied in with the new
guideway shop as the project nears substantial completion and move-in for the Guideway team. Work to
expand the Vehicle Cleaning Inspection Facility at OMC1 continued with slab and foundation concrete

pours. This project is part of the Edmonds Maintenance Centre upgrades which supports the cleaning of
the longer Mark V trains.
Mark V Trains
Over the summer, the first Mark V train in Kingston completed its static testing phase. Static testing
checks for basic operation of all sub-systems at a car level. Individual systems across each separate car
are tested, such as the brakes, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), the doors, and the Heating Ventilation Air
Conditioning (HVAC) units. Dynamic testing of the Train 1 has surpassed 50% completion. The second
train is currently in the final assembly stage before beginning a 20,000 km test. Car manufacturing and
assembling for Train 3 is now in progress at Alstom’s Quebec plant.
New Operations Control Centre (OCC2)
The contractor commenced exterior cladding work on the OCC2 project this quarter. In addition, there
has been much interior work performed including windows, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and ceiling
installations. The BCRTC team worked closely with TransLink and TI Corp to develop and enable a
schedule acceleration plan, and the project is on-target to be operational in time for the Broadway
Subway Project launch in 2026.
Broadway Subway Project (BSP)
BCRTC continues to support TI Corp’s project delivery team. Tunnel boring along the corridor continued
through the summer and one tunnel boring machine reached Oak Street/VGH station. It is anticipated
that boring towards the future South Granville Station will begin mid-Q4.
Construction of all 21 piers, main girders and deck panels connecting the 700 metres of elevated
guideway west of VCC-Clark Station connecting to the future Great Northern Way-Emily Carr Station is
now complete. Concrete deck pouring on top of the elevated guideway started early August.
The project remains on schedule to open in 2026.

Construction has begun at the site of the future Marpole Transit Centre. Early preparatory work
included demolishing existing structures and moving utilities, among other items. Detailed
design reached the 60% milestone, and 100% detailed design is expected to finish in early 2024.
• Early construction works are planned to begin in Q4 2023 for both the Port Coquitlam
Transit Centre expansion/electrification project and phase one of the Burnaby Transit
Centre expansion project.
