Challenge
With an estimated completion date of 2015, the 2.63 billion
dollar Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE)
project will result in six new stations along with 2,900
parking spaces to encourage commuter parking. This large
scale extension was subject to a six month Transit Project
Assessment Process followed by continued ongoing analysis
throughout the design stage.
As the project site is spread over a large area involving
many multi-disciplinary teams, the TTC/TYSSE Project
Managers consisting of TTC and Joint Venture Team,
Hatch Mott MacDonald, MMM Group and Delcan, quickly
realized that it would be difficult to manage copious
documents generated from geo-engineering analysis and
that this could potentially threaten the timely completion
of the project. To tackle this issue, TTC conceptualized
a spatially-based document management solution and
retained Golder Associates as the principal geo-engineering
consultant for the project.

geo-engineering content management
system
The Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE) project was established to
provide the first rapid transit line to cross the City of Toronto boundary into the
Regional Municipality of York. As a large-scale project that is spread over a wide area,
stakeholders were finding it difficult to manage a growing number of geo-engineering
documents, introducing delays into the project. In response, they built a Geo-
Engineering Content Management System that lets project designers and construction
crews upload and access documents from a single portal.
