Subway Stations Addition and Accessibility Elevators

  • Client: Toronto Transit Authority
  • Sector: Infrastructure
  • Project Value: Over $5 Million

Project Overview

The Subway Stations Addition and Accessibility Elevators project, commissioned by the Toronto Transit Authority (TTA), aims to enhance the accessibility and capacity of key subway stations across Toronto. With a project value exceeding $5 million, the initiative focuses on adding elevators to improve accessibility for all commuters, while expanding the infrastructure to accommodate growing transit needs. RECCMOX is tasked with overseeing all phases of the project, ensuring that the new installations meet both functional and safety standards.

Scope of Work

RECCMOX’s role in this project encompasses monitoring construction, approving plans, and ensuring quality control while adhering to the highest standards of safety, accessibility, and efficiency. The work involves overseeing the addition of elevators and other station improvements, optimizing the overall design to enhance passenger flow and access.

RECCMOX’s Role & Responsibilities

Monitoring of Site Work

RECCMOX ensures that site activities are conducted in compliance with the approved design, safety regulations, and accessibility guidelines. This includes overseeing excavation, construction, and installation tasks, as well as ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations at the subway stations.

Approvals of Shop Drawings, Means, and Methods of Construction

RECCMOX reviews and approves shop drawings, construction methods, and materials used in the addition of elevators. Ensuring that these methods align with the project’s specifications is critical to maintain structural integrity and accessibility.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance

 To guarantee that the work meets both client expectations and regulatory standards, RECCMOX implements a thorough quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) process. This ensures the elevator installations and other structural changes meet all necessary safety and functionality standards.

Review and Approval of Change Orders

RECCMOX evaluates any change orders that may arise during construction. This includes assessing the impact of any modifications on the project’s cost, timeline, and design. By managing these changes carefully, RECCMOX ensures the project remains within scope and on schedule.

Monitoring of Construction Schedule

RECCMOX tracks the progress of the project to ensure that milestones are met as planned. Our team monitors the timeline closely to minimize delays and ensure the elevators and other improvements are completed on time.

Contractual Correspondence

RECCMOX manages contractual correspondence, ensuring effective communication among stakeholders, including the Toronto Transit Authority, contractors, and suppliers. This involves handling all contract-related matters to avoid any disputes or miscommunication.

Conducting/Chairing Project Progress Meetings

RECCMOX regularly chairs project progress meetings to update stakeholders on the status of construction. These meetings facilitate problem-solving, keep the project on track, and ensure all parties are aligned on goals and expectations.

Design of Shoring and Protection Work

For the safety of both the project team and the public, RECCMOX designs shoring and protection work during construction. This ensures the stability of the structure during excavations or other potentially hazardous activities, particularly in a public environment like subway stations.

Project Impact

The Subway Stations Addition and Accessibility Elevators project is vital in improving the accessibility of Toronto’s public transit system. By ensuring that subway stations are accessible to everyone, including those with mobility challenges, this project enhances the overall user experience, making it easier for individuals to travel throughout the city. The improvements will also accommodate Toronto’s growing population, helping to maintain the efficiency of the city’s transit system.

Conclusion

RECCMOX’s expertise in construction management, quality assurance, and accessibility solutions plays a crucial role in the success of this $5 million project. Our careful oversight ensures that the additions to the subway stations are completed on time, within budget, and in full compliance with safety and accessibility standards, contributing to the continued success and growth of Toronto’s public transit infrastructure.
