MONTREAL – Miguel Valero, president and CEO of Canarail, said his company has been selected to produce the first phase of the feasibility study for a new 310-km-long railway from Sept-Iles, QC, to the Labrador Trough. Canarail will be the prime contractor working with trusted partners and the local Innu communities. The final report is expected at the end of 2015.
"Canarail performs this kind of study everywhere in the world, but this one has a special flavor to it since it will be here, in Quebec, where our team of experts will put all of its experience into a major economic development project. Although this is not our first important contract in Quebec, we feel that it marks a major milestone in the history of our company, " said Valero.
Canarail has unique expertise in the field of rail transport, particularly in the mining and transport of heavy goods sectors. In Canada, the study and design of a rail link as part of the Mary River mining project on Baffin Island, as well as the delivery, under an EPCM contract, of a section of 30 km at the border of Quebec with Newfoundland and Labrador for the mining industry are examples of Canarail's ability to carry out studies of contemplated railway projects in the particularly rough conditions found in northern territories.
Founded in 1991, Canarail is a Quebec-based rail consulting and engineering firm that specializes in mining, heavy haul freight, and urban domains. The company is known for its expertise in feasibility studies, consulting, detailed design, and the supervision of construction of major projects, for every component of a railway project: infrastructure, rolling stock, systems, operations, etc. Over the last 25 years, Canarail has participated in over 800 projects in Canada, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, North America, Australia, Europe, and Latin America.
