Our Projects Driven by
Human Expertise

The Société de transport de Laval is expanding its current garage. The project must account for the gradual electrification of its bus fleet, the increase in transport services, and therefore, the total number of buses required.

The new expansion included:

• The addition of indoor parking spaces for supervisor network vehicles;
• The addition of a bus exit on Francis-Hugues Avenue;
• An electronics workshop and a satellite warehouse;
• New mechanical, electrical, and IT rooms;

And more.

• Project area: 57,600 m²
• Validation of regulations and supplier recommendations to avoid risks of modifications to the fire protection system;
• Civil engineering analysis to identify the slope configuration of the new slab inside the future garage, thus avoiding a height difference between the current building and Cunard Street.

Execution Strategy

Macogep identified, analyzed, and evaluated measures to ensure adherence to the schedule and achieve the target dates set by the Société de transport de Laval.

Risk Analysis

• Risk analysis related to the various execution methods;
• Establishment of the risk register with qualitative and quantitative analyses;
• Identification of the most appropriate execution method for the project.

Cost Control

The estimate during the call for tenders served as a reference for the Société de transport de Laval to validate the bids submitted by contractors and establish professional fee budgets for construction supervision.

• Validation of the work budget established by the Société de transport de Laval before design and execution strategy of the construction;
• Rapid establishment of a detailed master schedule;
• Preparation of detailed cost estimates for construction work and/or equipment installations;
• Development of technical solutions, identification of execution constraints, and proposal of cost reduction or improvement solutions;
• Development and coordination of the procurement strategy;
• Planning of site opening with professionals, installation, and start-up of equipment;
• Supervision of site progress, safety, and prevention on-site;
• Evaluation or cross-checking of contractor or subcontractor proposals regarding change orders during the execution of the work;
• Preparation of monthly progress reports on costs and project scheduling.
