Congratulations to the entire team from Groupe ABS that work so tirelessly on this magnificent project, and to all the nominees in the category. Thank you to Société de transport de Montréal (STM) for this vote of confidence.

The aim of the project was to build a universally accessible intermodal hub linking the Vendôme metro station, the EXO train station and the MUHC. A Canadian first was achieved, namely the installation of a tunnel using the riprap method. Groupe ABS provided materials engineering, geotechnical and environmental services.
