    Within our consult business, we harness our unique combination of leading-edge practical expertise and project delivery consultancy to unlock the potential of every project.

    The project:
    The project is the largest transit infrastructure program in Canadian history. Metrolinx, the owner/operator for suburban rail, has a dramatic project that will transform rail services in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), providing two-way all-day GO train service and improved passenger experience with quieter and faster electric locomotives. The project includes Early Works, Off-corridor station, and infrastructure upgrades, as well as an On-Corridor program to deliver new tracks, platforms, facilities, grade separations and electrification. The MCS team, a JV of Mace Comtech and Systra, is partnering, as the Program Delivery Partner, with Metrolinx to deliver the project upgrade program and, at the same time, develop Metrolinx's capability to deliver mega programs. The MCS Program Delivery Partner (Delivery Partner) team will achieve this by facilitating Metrolinx's creation of an outstanding organizational capability for program management and, simultaneously bring our global and local expertise to the direction and successful delivery of the project.
