MONTREAL, Feb. 23,
2023 /CNW/ - SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSX: SNC), a
fully integrated professional services and project management
company with offices around the world, has been appointed by UK
rail infrastructure owner Network Rail to manage and deliver
signalling renewals across the south of England.
Working in an alliance with the client and partners, SNC-Lavalin
will be responsible for managing the delivery of all signalling
renewals - including early-stage development, detailed design,
construction and commissioning – as part of Network Rail's Southern
Integrated Delivery Team which is tasked with delivering around
$6 Billion CAD of renewals that also
include buildings and civils; track; and electrification and
plant.
In appointing an Integrated Delivery Team, Network Rail is
looking to achieve a step change in the way renewals are delivered
across its large southern region, with an enterprise approach
focussed on collaboration, underpinned by long-term relationships
and reward mechanisms based on outcomes and team performance.
"When we talk about outcomes today, we place social and
environmental benefits alongside financial reward which is why
traditional contracting models, including LSTK, are becoming
outdated," said Ian L. Edwards,
President and CEO, SNC-Lavalin. "The only way to hit that triple
bottom line when delivering major infrastructure programs is to
bring all parties together under one unified agreement which allows
added value to be explored and realised."
"This is a tremendous win which adds to our portfolio as a UK
market leader adding value across the whole life cycle of
transportation assets," said Philip
Hoare, President, Engineering Services, UK &
Europe, Middle East, India and Canada, SNC-Lavalin. "It also reaffirms
our reputation as a forward-thinking organization that is always
striving to improve outcomes for clients, be it through pioneering
contracting models, new ways of working or better ways of
connecting people, data and technology."
SNC-Lavalin is also part of the East West Rail alliance which is
delivering one of the UK's largest new railway projects under a
single, unified agreement; and is the Railway Systems Integration
Partner for the East Coast Digital Program, which will be the UK's
first intercity digital railway.
