Toronto Pearson announced its plans to continue to advance Pearson LIFT – Long-term Investment in Facilities and Terminals, launching a competitive selection process for the T1/T3 Revitalization program and selecting Pearson Accelerator Construction Team (PACT) to lead the planning, design and construction of the Accelerator program, delivering vital upgrades and revitalization of airport assets.
PACT brings together Canadian led or founded businesses combined with global airport expertise and an extensive employee and operational footprint across Canada. PACT is a general partnership comprised of Kenaidan Contracting Ltd., Alberici Constructors Ltd., Amico Major Projects Inc. and Obayashi Canada Ltd., with decades of experience across 170 airport projects.
PACT will be supported by a design joint venture of Egis and Mott MacDonald with key supporting expertise drawn from WW+P Architects, WSP Canada, and Woods Bagot.
The Accelerator program will be delivered through a Progressive-Design-Build (PDB) model, proven to enhance early and ongoing collaboration, flexible decision-making and cost control.
“These two major milestones are advancements of Pearson LIFT, investing in vital Canadian infrastructure to position Toronto Pearson to compete well into the future. Reinforcing Canada’s global connectivity is critical to strengthening supply chains and growing Canadian innovation, business, and jobs,” said Deborah Flint, president and CEO, Toronto Pearson.
Pearson LIFT is poised to create thousands of jobs, support local businesses and supply chains, drive innovation and deliver wide-ranging benefits to Canada’s aviation sector and beyond.
