Alstom has been selected by Rideau Transit Maintenance General Partnership (RTM) to maintain the city of Ottawa’s light rail transit system, called the O-Train Confederation Line. The RTM comprisis in SNC Lavalin O&M, ACS and EllisDon.
The EUR 125 million contract follows a contract signed in 2013 to supply 34 Citadis Spirit light rail vehicles to the city of Ottawa.
Alstom will maintain the entire line, which involves the maintenance of the tracks, the operating control system, the power substation, as well as the signalling and communications systems, for a period of 30 years. The line, which will be 12.5 km long and include 13 stations, is expected to begin full revenue service in 2018. Alstom is currently assembling the Citadis Spirit vehicles at the Belfast Yard facility in Ottawa, the site of the operator OC Transpo.
The contract signed in 2013 has a EUR 400 million value awarded by Rideau Transit Group consortium (RTG) to Alstom for the supply and maintenance of 34 Citadis Spirit.
