MSF Structural Steel

The Structural Steel contract supports delivery of the Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) by providing the primary structural framework that will enable the facility to house, maintain and operate the light rail vehicle fleet.

Scope of work

The scope of work includes the engineering, detailing, fabrication and installation of primary structural steel components for the MSF and includes in‑shop application of protective coatings, comprehensive quality control procedures and adherence to all applicable codes and industry standards to ensure constructability, durability and long-term operational performance.

Execution of the work will be closely coordinated with the other contractors that will oversee construction of the facility, with an emphasis on integrated planning and value engineering. This collaborative approach is intended to optimize material use, sequencing and installation efficiency while supporting schedule and cost certainty.
