Engineering firm Sener celebrates 10 years in Canada

TORONTO — International engineering and technology group Sener is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its establishment in Canada.

Since beginning operations in 2016, the company has developed alongside one of the country’s largest periods of investment in – and transformation of – its transport networks, states a release.

Sener brings multidisciplinary capabilities spanning multiple stages of the infrastructure lifecycle, from planning and design through to systems integration, risk management and safety and support during construction and commissioning.

One of Sener’s first major milestones was its involvement in the Finch West LRT, now Line 6 of the Toronto Transit Commission network. Sener provided engineering design for the line and its systems and supported the overall integration in collaboration with construction partners.

The 10.3-kilometre line connects Finch West Station with Humber College via 16 at-grade stops and two underground stations.

Sener is also involved in the Ontario Line and Scarborough Subway Extension. On the latter, Sener is serving as lead engineering firm during the delivery phase of the stations, track and systems contract, providing detailed design across disciplines including architecture, structures, electromechanical systems, geotechnical engineering, ventilation, electrification, signalling and rail control, communications, and track, the reléase notes.

The company is also responsible for systems integration and safety certification.

In Quebec, Sener has contributed to the development of Montreal’s REM as an independent checking engineer across several sections of the network. The phased opening of its various segments has coincided with the expansion of the company’s activities in the province and the establishment of a permanent presence in Montreal.

In Ottawa, Sener has served as an independent safety adviser on extensions to the Confederation and Trillium lines.

In Edmonton, its work on the Valley Line marked the expansion of its activities into Alberta. The company has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver.

“These ten years are the result of trust-based relationships, built project by project, close collaboration with our partners and clients and, above all, the commitment of a team that understands the needs and priorities of Canadian cities. We want to continue bringing engineering, innovation and integration capabilities to help develop mobility that is more connected, efficient and ready for the future”, says Lope Seco, country manager of Sener in Canada, in a statement.
