Carillion said the City of Toronto has appointed Carillion Canada as construction manager for the revitalisation of the City's Union Station, a 5-year project valued at around £360m. The support services and construction company said its business in Canada is expected to grow significantly in 2009, following the acquisition of the Vanbots Group and the strong positions it has developed in the Public Private Partnership projects and road maintenance markets. Carillion Canada will provide the City of Toronto with a range of specialist services, including professional services, contract management and supervision to coordinate and control all construction activities. 'We are delighted to have been selected by the City of Toronto to deliver this prestigious project, which further reinforces Carillion Canada's reputation for delivering high quality projects through integrating its wide range of skills and resources. We look forward to working closely with the City of Toronto to create a world-class transport and retail facility,' said chief executive John McDonough.
