14/11/2025

Sener, as ICE, verifies the correct fulfillment of the technical requirements for the design, execution, and regulations of the Réseau Express Metropolitain (REM) of Montreal, the most ambitious public transportation project carried out in the province of Quebec in the last 50 years.

The second segment of Montreal’s REM (Réseau express métropolitain, the city’s automated metro system) – linking Deux-Montagnes and Gare Centrale – was inaugurated today. The engineering and technology group Sener is taking part as Independent Checker Engineer (ICE) in the project. This North Shore section includes 14 stations, connecting Deux-Montagnes to downtown Montréal. The first segment, between Brossard and Gare Centrale, opened in July 2023.

The Montreal REM is a 67 km integrated fully automated metro system, 18.2 Km of which is on elevated structures. It will be served by 26 stations (5 underground, 8 in viaduct and 13 on surface) connecting downtown Montréal, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and Montréal–Trudeau airport. Currently under construction, REM is the largest public transport project in Québec in fifty years.

Sener, as the ICE, conducts an independent checking at the Contractor’s design to verify the compliance with the technical requirements of Design, and Construction defined in the Contract. Sener also verifies compliance with the local applicable regulations, and accordingly, Sener produces certificates and a report of conformity.

CDPQ Infra (Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec) is responsible for the planning, financing, completion of the Montreal REM, and continue to build the rest of the CAD 6.9bn project supported by the Québec government and the Canadian government.
