Excess Soil Management for Transit Construction Projects

PROJECT SUMMARY

Canadian infrastructure and development projects require excess soil to be managed safely and in ways that promote beneficial reuse of valuable resources, reduce clean soil being sent to landfills, and mitigate environmental impacts. Our team is proud to be supporting several transformative transit infrastructure construction projects that will benefit Toronto for generations to come. Recent project examples include:

Ontario Line – Southern Civil, Stations and Tunnel Project – a 15.6 km subway line through downtown Toronto as part of the Ontario line

Eglinton Crosstown West Extension Elevated Guideway – a 1.5 km elevated guideway crossing over the Humber River Valley

Scarborough Subway Extension – a 7.8 km subway extension of TTC Line 2 into Scarborough

OUR ROLE

As a leader of excess soil management in Ontario, our team provides excess soil solutions to a wide range of infrastructure and land development projects in compliance with Ontario Regulation 406/19.  We work with construction teams to characterize environmental soil quality, prepare regulatory planning technical documents, inform beneficial reuse of soil, and manage excess soil sustainably and cost-effectively.

BENEFITS

• Planning excess soil management before construction is the key to fulfilling regulatory requirements and reducing soil management costs.
• Montrose’s project team includes excess soil management qualified persons (QPs) that can identify areas to improve soil management efficiencies, including maximizing beneficial reuse of soil and reducing overall soil management costs.
• Our 3D RaVE soil management modelling tool allows our technical experts to present 3D models of soil quality, generate excavation plans, and provide real-time/advance tracking of excavation progress.
