Our Traffic Maintenance and Impact Management Department Resolves Mobility Issues in our Projects 

Maintien de la circulation

Thanks to its multidisciplinary, integrated approach, our Traffic Maintenance and Impact Management department works in synergy with our other departments to resolve mobility issues in our projects. The services we offer enable our main clients, which include the CSEM, MTMD and the cities of Montreal, Laval and Longueuil, to ensure better management and optimal maintenance of traffic flow.

In all our projects involving the road network, the maintenance and impact management team can contribute thanks to its expertise.

In addition to anticipating obstacles and detours for roadworks, our team ensures the mobility of all road users, including vehicles, trucks, buses, pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other modes of electric transport, such as motorized personal transport devices (MPTDs). Our experts also take into account the SAAQ’s pilot project on MPTDs in their documents. Our strength lies in coordination and communication with project stakeholders. For projects in Montreal, we collaborate with the boroughs and City of Montreal partners, such as public utilities, emergency services (SPVM) and transportation companies. We know how to open up several channels of communication to keep local residents informed of the progress of the work.

“Thanks to FNX-INNOV’s many regional offices, our traffic maintenance and impact management services could be available in even more regions of Quebec and Canada.”

Our team is on hand for pre-project preparation, design and supervision. Here is a list of the activities carried out as part of our projects:

  • Assist in obtaining public domain occupation permits;
  • Study various possible scenarios;
  • Present phasing sketches and typical cross-sections;
  • Analyze turning movements using AutoTURN software.

Over the past three years, we’ve worked hard to develop a complementary service to the liaison officer’s role. 

The liaison officer has become essential in recent years in response to a growing demand from clients concerned about the acceptability of projects by the parties impacted: residents, merchants, institutions, community circles, local residents, industries, etc. The liaison officer’s main role is to inform and advise the client of the project. Its main role is to inform and act as a customer service, demonstrating autonomy, courtesy and diplomacy. As a mediator between the project and the clientele, he aims to reduce the impact of the work, and is dedicated to managing requests and complaints, taking part in site meetings and public information sessions, and producing reports. In addition, other tasks such as distributing notices of work or more specific follow-up can be added, depending on the contract, to offer a premium service to those who so wish.
