SEATTLE, WA — PCL Construction Services Inc. has topped out the steel structure for Amtrak’s new Maintenance & Inspection (M&I) Facility, marking the placement of the final steel beam and a milestone in the project’s progress at the King Street Coach Yard.
The upgraded M&I facility will support Amtrak’s next generation of passenger service, including maintenance of the new Airo trainsets. Completing the structural frame moves the project closer to delivering a modern, efficient facility that aims to strengthen Amtrak’s operations in the Pacific Northwest.
To date, construction progress includes:
- Approximately 1.8 million pounds of PEMB steel installed for the M&I superstructure
- More than 12,500 cubic yards of concrete placed across the M&I Facility and the adjacent parking deck
- More than 200,000 worker hours completed by PCL and trade contractors since project start
“These achievements represent the dedication, expertise, and craftsmanship of every individual who has contributed to this project,” said Andrew Fernandez, District Manager of PCL’s Seattle office. “Reaching this milestone brings us another step closer to delivering a facility that will support Amtrak’s growing fleet, especially as the new Airo fleet begins service in the Pacific Northwest.”
