Denver Transit Partners' work for the Regional Transportation District (RTD) Eagle P3 Commuter Rail Project was recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as qualifying for the Star Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).

 

The project joins an elite group of organizations providing exemplary occupational safety and health protection and serving as a model for others. Less than one percent of all workplaces governed by OSHA are accepted into VPP.

The project was awarded by RTD to the Fluor Corporation-led joint venture of Denver Transit Partners in July 2010, followed by financial close in August 2010. Denver Transit Partners is comprised of a partnership between Fluor Enterprises, Inc., a unit of Fluor Corporation; Denver Rail (Eagle) Holdings, Inc., a unit of John Laing plc and Aberdeen Infrastructure Investments (No 4) USA LLC, a unit of Aberdeen Global Infrastructure Partners LP. Other team members include Balfour Beatty Rail Inc., ACI, Ames Construction and HDR.

“With the emphasis we place on safety, the OSHA VPP honor is reflective of the efforts of our craft and project leadership in Denver,” said Terry Towle, president, Fluor’s infrastructure business. “Congratulations to the Eagle P3 Project and the safety culture they have embraced that has culminated with this prestigious designation.”

“RTD focuses on safety for our passengers, employees and contractors. We are proud to see Denver Transit Partners receive recognition for its safety efforts on the Eagle P3 Project,” said Phil Washington, RTD chief executive officer and general manager.

The three Eagle P3 Project commuter rail lines are scheduled for revenue service in 2016 with staggered openings.
