MONTRÉAL, May 30, 2024 /CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (TSX: ATRL), a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world, announced today that we have been awarded the contract to deliver Owner's Engineer (OE) services for the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Design-Build Project in British Columbia by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

We look forward to helping create a more sustainable infrastructure that enhances the travel experience for all ferry passengers and meets the evolving needs of this key transportation hub."

The upgraded terminal will align with the Canada-US Land, Rail, Marine, and Air Transport Preclearance Agreement (LRMA). The scope of AtkinsRéalis' contract includes:
