MEC is proud to be part of the Honolulu Rail Transit project, which is the first fully automated elevated rail system in the U.S. This 20-mile rail line is set to revolutionize Oahu’s public transit by providing a reliable and efficient transportation option for residents and visitors, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing safety with state-of-the-art driverless technology. Our team is responsible for the train control across the entire project and for building the communications systems for Segments 1 and 2. The first segment opened to the public in June 2023 and the second segment, which includes stations at Pearl Harbor and the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, should be ready for operations in late 2025.

?? Beautiful morning on our renewable energy project site in Illinois.

We’re in the final stages of the Foothill Gold Line light rail project, with over 90% of the work now complete. Along a 9.1-mile stretch, our crews have constructed 19 new or renovated bridges, completed 21 at-grade street crossings, relocated nine miles of freight track and all light rail tracks are in place. Currently, we’re focused on the last remaining tasks, including critical train testing and final punch list items. This testing ensures all systems function seamlessly, providing a safe and dependable service for future riders. Quality and safety remain top priorities as we near the finish line. The four new light rail stations are also close to completion, featuring artwork by city-selected artists and additional enhancements that will elevate the overall experience. We’re grateful for the community’s continued support as we approach this milestone. ?? Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority

One of the most rewarding parts of working in construction is the incredible sense of camaraderie and teamwork, where every project is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of the people involved. At MEC, our strength lies in the diversity of our teams. By bringing together individuals with different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, we create innovative solutions that drive our projects forward and enhance the communities we serve. As we celebrate Construction Inclusion Week, we honor our commitment to building an inclusive workplace that empowers every employee to bring their authentic selves to work. We recognize that diversity, equity and inclusion require ongoing effort and dedication from all of us. Together, we continue to build a culture that benefits our employees, projects, clients and communities. #ConstructionInclusionWeek

MEC, the systems installation contractor for Ottawa’s Stage 2 LRT Project, has completed work on the East Segment of the light rail extension and is now focusing on the West Segment. Our team will soon begin installing the Overhead Catenary System (OCS) in the West, which will require 350 posts. These posts support the electrical cables that power the trains and are installed down the middle of the guideway. Once complete, the East extension will add 7.8 miles of new track and five stations, while the West extension will feature nine more miles and 11 new stations.

Prioritizing both physical and mental health is essential for overall well-being. Here at MEC, we are committed to supporting our team members' health and wellness. In the construction industry, we recognize that challenges can arise both on and off the jobsite. Our Employee Assistance Programs provide confidential, 24/7 access to mental health services for employees, their families and project teams across North America. No one should have to face life’s challenges alone. If you need support, please reach out. #WorldMentalHealthAwarenessDay #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek
