Via Rail Canada – Pointe-St-Charles maintenance centre – Various projects (2003) - Vacuum sanitary evacuation system – This project involved installing, along the main maintenance platforms, a vacuum system to empty the holding tanks of the cars.  In cooperation with those in charge at VIA, Dessau completed all the engineering steps to:

• Define the optimal number and location of the service outlets;
• Determine the type of hoses and connectors to ensure adequate service;
• Determine the power and capacity of the vacuum system;
• Ensure complete drainage within three hours or less.

Diesel filling area – In order to collect all of the diesel fuel from a spill at the filling stations, VIA Rail’s Montreal Maintenance Centre completely overhauled its fuel containment system. The work done entailed replacing the underground diesel supply system for locomotives with a new overhead system and included moving and renovating the counters and pumping stations, replacing the steel spill collection system with concrete collection areas with heating cables and built-in, double wall drainage pipes, connecting the new drainage system to the oily water from the existing oil separator.

High-pressure washing system – This project involved designing a 300 psi high-pressure washing system with four pumping units, a high-pressure piping network, 18 cleaning outlets with rollers and nozzles (maintenance department at Tracks S1, S2 and S3). A modification was also made to the existing high-pressure washing system in the maintenance department at Tracks M4 and M5 by adding four cleaning outlets including rollers and nozzles.

Agence métropolitaine de transport - A10 / A30 park and ride centre (Brossard) (2000) – As part of its mission to manage public transportation in the territory of metropolitan Montreal, the Agence métropolitaine de transport builds and manages parking areas to encourage the use of mass transit. This project involved building a park and ride centre with approximately 2,500 spaces in the north-east sector of the A-10/A-30 interchange. The objective was to assuage the demand for the Brossard park and ride centre and recruit additional clients located above Autoroute 30.
