On fleek for the fleet.
Fort Rouge Garage is Winnipeg Transit’s primary facility, providing maintenance, repair, and rebuild services for approx. 95 per cent of the transit fleet’s 600 buses. The nearly 50 years old building was updated and expanded to meet the current and future needs of the city’s transit system.
Working under a design-build model, Smith + Andersen was engaged as the owner’s advocate for the project’s mechanical and electrical design of the project. As part of this role, we helped the owner group compile outline specifications, reviewed design-build submissions and shop drawings, and assisted with any re-design challenges. We also collaborated with maintenance staff to review training and procedure documentation, and implemented adjustments to suit the renovated facility and staff needs.
The facility targeted LEED Silver certification, so sustainability features included additional electrical metering to satisfy LEED requirements and lighting controls.
