Transit Garage Expansion & Renovation

The Transit Garage Expansion and Renovation Project (approximately $50M total in construction value) was a Design Build / Design Assist challenge for Wescan.

The project included a 70,000 square foot addition, a complete campus distribution electrical upgrade with 100% generator back up, and 18 new bus bays added onto the existing facility; These included in-ground bus hoists, process fluid distribution systems, 8 pre-manufactured prep/paint booths, a new weld shop, foreman offices, and fluid room.

The renovation portion included new accounting offices, boardrooms, classrooms, and vault within the existing facility. This project benefited from our Wescan Planning & Detailing team, incorporating full BIM 3D technology for clash detection, construction coordination, and pre-fabrication to provide a precise and efficient solution.
