MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 3, 2022
/CNW/ - Bird Construction Inc. ("Bird") is pleased to announce that
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dagmar Construction ("Dagmar"), has
been awarded a contract for Railway Track, Signal and Station works
by Metrolinx for the Kitchener GO Corridor Expansion project. The
contract value is approximately $62
million.
Dagmar, acquired by Bird in September
2021, is a high-performing Ontario-based construction company with
extensive experience across key civil infrastructure sub-sectors
including rail, road, bridge, sewer and water, and select
commercial-institutional sites. Through its exceptional project
delivery and a continued focus on innovation over the past 80
years, Dagmar has earned a strong reputation in the industry and
developed a niche for delivery of complex and specialized civil
infrastructure projects for both private and public owners across
Ontario.
This work is the first step, in a series of infrastructure
upgrades planned as part of the Kitchener GO expansion program,
which will transform the line and bring increased two-way all-day
service and better connectivity to the larger GO Transit
network.
"We are proud to be selected to support the delivery of this
important infrastructure project for Metrolinx. Dagmar's execution
experience for specialized projects, including a sizeable portfolio
of past projects with this client, creates a significant long-term
opportunity to benefit from the pipeline of rail projects in
Ontario, the largest civil
infrastructure market in Canada,"
said Teri McKibbon, President and
CEO of Bird.
