Union Station Enhancement Project (USEP)

Toronto, Canada

Union Station is the busiest transportation facility in Canada, serving over 250,000 passengers daily and 65 million passengers annually.

The project involves restoring the existing historic trainshed, Head House, and Bay Street Bridge architectural metal façade, re-constructing existing platforms, and converting the heritage freight elevators into stairs and vent shafts. The expansion includes the construction of new platforms and below-grade concourse south of the existing trainshed, roof canopies over the new platforms, and new vertical access elements to the concourses, all requiring careful assessment of heritage impact and coordination of all proposed interventions with Parks Canada.

Construction will take place while the station is fully functional, necessitating careful consideration of staging, safety requirements, and minimizing the impact to customers and operations.

Entuitive was retained by Metrolinx as the Prime Consultant. Managing a team of 16 subconsultants, Entuitive is performing design and contract administration services for the Enabling Works design-bid-build contract, and is also developing the Reference Concept Designs and Output Specifications for procuring the major work under two Public-Private Partnership (P3) arrangements.

Entuitive is serving as Metrolinx P3 Technical Advisor during the procurement process and during final design and construction. As Prime Consultant, Entuitive is assisting Metrolinx in all legal and technical discussions and negotiations with various federal, provincial, and municipal agencies, coordinating work with local utility providers, and integrating work with upcoming City of Toronto and TTC projects.
