Description

The Relief Line South was a proposed expansion to the TTC Line 1 subway with five new stations planned from Osgoode to Pape Station undertaken by the TTC. The project has since been passed on to a new owner (Metrolinx) and further developed as the Ontario Line. Our role on the assignment included the 15% and 30% design for tunnel geometries, excavation and temporary support of two stations and one crossover. Tasks included production of 3D models, drawings, design reports and finite element analysis based on the SEM approach to tunnelling large caverns keeping surface disruption in urban areas to a minimum.
