The Evergreen Line is a new rapid transit line that will connect Coquitlam Town Centre to Vancouver starting at Lougheed Town Centre Station in Burnaby and ending near Douglas College in Coquitlam. The line will be a fast, frequent and convenient SkyTrain service, connecting Coquitlam Town Centre through Port Moody and Burnaby to Lougheed Town Centre in approximately 13 minutes. The Evergreen Line will seamlessly connect to the current SkyTrain network, including the Expo and Millennium, and will integrate with regional bus and West Coast Express networks.
The two track line is 11km long with six primary stations and a potential for up to two additional stations. The 5.9m diameter twin-bore precast concrete segmental tunnel is part of the Evergreen Line that emerges at the North Portal in Port Moody.
The alignment will run along elevated viaduct, tunnel and at-grade.
Halcrow provides tunnel conceptual and preliminary design up to procurement state that includes planning, civil, structural, ventilation and fre-life- safety design services.
