FCC Canada Ltd (“FCC”) announced today that ONxpress Civils Contractor General Partnership (“ONxpress”), a 50/50 consortium between Aecon and FCC Canada , has executed alliance contracts with Metrolinx to advance the multi-billion-dollar GO Expansion project in Ontario. FCC’s share of the contracts is valued at approximately $714 million. 

“The GO Expansion program is one of the company’s most important projects in Canada. It will undoubtedly improve mobility and the region’s socioeconomic structure, leading to a better quality of life for citizens. This is one of the projects in which FCC, with its 125-year history, has much to contribute and can collaborate with all the stakeholders involved. We are a leading international company in the design and construction of mobility and transportation infrastructure,” said Pedro Lopez-Bravo, Vice resident of FCC Canada Ltd. 

The project advancement follows the completion of collaborative development work and will be executed under a target price model. Metrolinx is the project owner and ONxpress is the construction partner responsible for project delivery. Construction has started on Durham College Oshawa GO Station and other critical civil work, track improvements and enhancements along the Lakeshore East line.

FCC Construcción is currently the fourth-largest construction company in Spain and Europe in terms of contract volume, and ranks among the top 20 in the world according to the international magazine ENR (Engineering News-Record). The activities of the FCC Group’s construction division cover all areas of engineering and construction, and is a leader in the execution of civil engineering projects (roads, railways, airports, hydraulic and maritime works, tunnels, bridges, subways, and wastewater treatment plants) and building construction (residential and non-residential: hospitals, soccer stadiums, museums, and offices).

FCC Construcción, through its subsidiary FCC Canada, has been operating in Canada for more than 25 years. In 1997, it was awarded the contract to build, operate, and maintain the Fredericton–Moncton highway. In 2011, it was awarded the contract to expand a section of the Toronto subway system, the city’s first modern subway infrastructure project. This project was completed in 2018. Since then, FCC has continued to carry out complex transportation and civil infrastructure projects throughout Canada. In Canada, FCC has contributed to the creation of landmark transportation and transit infrastructure, including major subway expansions and complex urban tunneling projects.
