Breaking New Ground: Rock Splitting at Montreal’s REM Airport Station
A Complex Infrastructure Challenge Building a subway station directly beneath one of Canada’s busiest airports presented a significant engineering puzzle. The Réseau express métropolitain (REM) project needed to excavate 71,000 m³ of solid limestone right under Montréal-Trudeau International Airport – all while planes landed and took off overhead. Traditional blasting was completely out of the […]
