Stantec has been chosen to continue providing construction engineering and inspection services for the east section of Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation’s (HART) driverless and electric light rail project of Hawaii, US.

This contract, worth $119m, is an extension of current construction and engineering services that Stantec is offering to HART and will run through the end of 2026, with an potential extension for five years until project completion in 2031.

Stantec staff will aid with construction management and project delivery for HART’s construction projects, including the light rail guideway, rail stations, and utility relocation.

Stantec project manager and transportation business line leader Brian Norris said: “HART light rail is one of the most iconic transit projects in the United States, and a game-changer for transportation in Hawaii.

“We are extremely proud of the work we are doing, and this effort is essential to delivering the project for the people of Hawaii. Project management and construction management are growth areas for our transportation business, and we continue to provide this expertise across markets in North America.”

This 20-mile, 21-station elevated system will link West Oahu with the Honolulu International Airport, downtown Honolulu, and the Ala Moana Center, a major shopping center.

It is estimated that Honolulu’s population will grow 10% by 2045, and HART light rail will support this growth by linking people with jobs, healthcare, and education.

HART CEO and executive director Lori Kahikina said: “Light rail is an essential part of improving transportation in Hawaii and reaching our climate goals.

“Providing a connecting spine through downtown, important transit centers, and the airport will vastly improve our transit system. Stantec has been with us from the early days, and we value their expertise and longstanding service in delivering the project.”

HART is one of several large-scale transit projects being delivered by Stantec currently.

The firm is serving as the lead engineer of the $1.9bn Long Island Rail Road expansion for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York. It is also leading the design on the Chicago Transit Authority’s $2.1bn Red and Purple Modernization Program.
