TTC Carhouse Upgrades – Toronto

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is Toronto’s public transportation provider with a network of subways, streetcars and buses.

The Roncesvalles and Russell Carhouses are two of Toronto’s oldest, and most important, transportation/maintenance hubs. The project awarded to Maple Reinders was part of a phased program to address operational improvements at both car houses.

The work at Russell Carhouse consisted of a new wash-down pit to replace the existing hand-scrape and air-blast undercar cleaning system with a high-pressure water system.

The work at Roncesvalles Carhouse consisted of the installation of a second low cut platform for maintenance of the streetcars; complete with demolition work, concrete placement, electrical and mechanical work. The project was particularly challenging due to the confined work space.
