Spanning an impressive 67 kilometers and including a total of 26 stations when completed by 2027, this automated light rail system is revolutionizing the way Montrealers get around.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>AGF&#8217;s contribution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As a supplier and installer of reinforcing steel, AGF is actively involved in the construction of 22 of the 26 REM stations, as well as contributing to the construction of 4 service buildings, 2 bus terminals, the South Shore overhead line and the Deux-Montagnes line.<\/p>\n<p>To date, AGF has delivered over 12,000 metric tons of reinforcing steel, and plans to deliver a further 8,000 metric tons.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Inauguration of the first phase<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>July 31, 2023 marked a historic turning point for Montreal with the inauguration of the first phase of the REM. This phase, which includes 5 stations and links Brossard on the South Shore to Central Station in the heart of downtown Montreal, simplifies travel and considerably reduces journey times for many users. The REM is now in service 20 hours a day, running every 3 minutes and 45 seconds during rush hour. This achievement represents not only a milestone in the REM project, but also the culmination of a great project for AGF.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A promising future<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As the REM continues to take shape, AGF&#8217;s involvement remains important.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, 4 stations are still under construction: those at Montreal-Trudeau Airport, Technoparc, &Eacute;douard-Montpetit and McGill.<\/p>\n<p>With its major role in the construction of the REM, AGF is proud to combine its expertise and dedication to help shape Montreal&#8217;s evolving transportation landscape towards more sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2502.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Inauguraci&oacute;n de la REM en Montreal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>Este art&iacute;culo ha sido redactado en colaboraci&oacute;n con Charles Tremblay, Co-Director- Tecnica.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.25pt\">El panorama de transporte de la gran regi&oacute;n de Montreal est&aacute; experimentando una transformaci&oacute;n importante impulsada por la reciente inauguraci&oacute;n de la primera fase de la red metropolitana expr&eacute;s (REM), la cual conecta la ribera sur de Montreal con el centro de la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.25pt\">Desde que se realiz&oacute; la primera excavaci&oacute;n en abril de 2018, la colosal obra de la REM contin&uacute;a de manera activa. Este sistema de tren ligero automatizado revoluciona la forma de desplazarse de los habitantes de Montreal. Incluye un total de 26 estaciones en una impresionante distancia de 67 kil&oacute;metros, y su finalizaci&oacute;n est&aacute; prevista para el 2027.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>La contribuci&oacute;n de AGF<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.25pt\">Al ser una empresa que provee e instala acero de refuerzo, AGF participa considerablemente en la construcci&oacute;n de 22 de las 26 estaciones de la REM, adem&aacute;s de contribuir a la realizaci&oacute;n de 4 edificios de servicio, 2 terminales de autob&uacute;s, la v&iacute;a a&eacute;rea de la ribera sur, y la l&iacute;nea Deux-Montagnes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.25pt\">Hasta la fecha, AGF ha suministrado m&aacute;s de 12&nbsp;000&nbsp;t de acero de refuerzo y tiene previsto suministrar todav&iacute;a m&aacute;s de 8&nbsp;000&nbsp;t.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>La inauguraci&oacute;n de la primera fase<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.25pt\">El 31 de julio de 2023 marc&oacute; un momento hist&oacute;rico para Montreal con la inauguraci&oacute;n de la primera fase de la REM. Esta fase, que cuenta con 5 estaciones y que conecta Brossard, en la ribera sur, con la estaci&oacute;n central, en el coraz&oacute;n del centro de Montreal, simplifica los desplazamientos y reduce considerablemente el tiempo de trayecto para muchos usuarios. En efecto, la REM est&aacute; actualmente en servicio 20 horas al d&iacute;a, con una frecuencia de paso cada 3:45&nbsp;min durante las horas punta. Este logro representa no solamente un hito en el proyecto de la REM, sino tambi&eacute;n la culminaci&oacute;n de un gran proyecto para AGF.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Un futuro prometedor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.25pt\">Mientras que la REM sigue tomando forma, la participaci&oacute;n de AGF sigue siendo importante. En efecto, 4 estaciones est&aacute;n todav&iacute;a en construcci&oacute;n: la del aeropuerto Montreal-Trudeau, la de Technoparc, la de &Eacute;douard-Montpetit y la de McGill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:-.3pt\">Gracias a su importante rol en la construcci&oacute;n de la REM, AGF se enorgullece de combinar sus conocimientos especializados y dedicaci&oacute;n para contribuir a darle forma al cambiante panorama del transporte de Montreal con el fin de alcanzar una movilidad m&aacute;s sostenible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was written in collaboration with Charles Tremblay, Technical Co-Director.
