J.M.R. Electric Ltd. is completing the Mechanical and Electrical scopes for the Hamilton Street Railway’s new Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility, located on a 42-acre site at 281 Birch Avenue. The project includes a five-storey precast parking garage with 350 employee parking stalls and a two-storey administrative office space that cantilevers over the garage, creating a modern and efficient operations hub.
The facility has capacity to store 200 buses, with future expansion space for an additional 100 vehicles, supporting Hamilton’s growing transit fleet. A full-service maintenance garage is included to accommodate repairs, servicing, and operational needs as the city continues to enhance transit service delivery.
JMR’s work includes the installation of energy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems, including HVAC, plumbing, hydronics, power distribution, lighting, controls, and supporting infrastructure for future fleet expansion. The facility is designed to deliver long-term reliability, operational efficiency, and the flexibility required for a modern municipal transit system.
This project showcases JMR’s expertise in delivering large-scale mechanical and electrical solutions for complex transit and municipal infrastructure developments.
