Project summary
As part of our métro asset maintenance program, maintenance work was done at the Richelieu rectifier station.
This work ensured that the rectifier station remains operational for years to come. It also ensured the reliability of the métro service.
Duration of the work: September 2021 to spring 2023.
Description of the work: Renovation of the existing rectifier station.
Impact on métro service: None.
Impact on bus service: None.
Impacts on local residents
Workers were present around and inside the rectifier station, but there was no impact on local traffic and no obstructions on De Richelieu Street. Most of the work was done inside the station, apart from some small-scale outdoor tasks, so the impact on local residents was low.
Work schedule
- The work took place mainly during the day, from Monday to Friday, in accordance with municipal by-laws.
- Some tasks were also done at night, but only inside the building.

Although the upgrade to the rectifier station occurred on a site adjacent to the Richelieu mechanical ventilation station, the work being done is unrelated to the mechanical ventilation station.
