This project involved the construction of a facility for the City of Brampton as an expansion of the Brampton Transit services. The facility was separated into two distinct parts: the Brampton Transit Administrative Office and Dispatch Centre and the Storage and Maintenance Garage. The new facility features parking to accommodate 300 cars and a delivery dock, and is equipped with an emergency diesel generator and electrical transformers.

“This project was completed in a timely, professional and supportive manner. Aquicon Construction brought their vast experience and knowledge to the project and consistently strived to achieve the schedule and design goals.”

The fueling pump stations were interlocked with the building exhaust to make to ensure TSSA requirements for interior fueling were being met. The repair garage includes shop service and wash areas, hoists, inventory stores, washrooms and locker rooms.
