SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. is gearing up for a major push to land more U.S. infrastructure work, but the Montreal engineering and construction giant is facing scrutiny over potential delays to a major project in its home country and negative 2020 results from cost impacts on remaining fixed-price transit projects.
The firm told city officials in Ottawa in January that its $1.3-billion project to extend the Trillium light rail line is nearly four months behind schedule, according to media reports. That would delay reopening the expanded line, which serves Carleton University, to the start of 2023 from a planned start in 2022.
