Strategic and innovative solutions to meet all your railway challenges

RaileX O&M Solutions Inc., the sister company of QQLF Consultants Inc., is a consulting firm recognized across North America for its expertise and knowledge in the railway industry.

This new division focuses on our comprehensive railway know-how, which can be applied to all service industries.

Railway Project Management

The railway industry faces numerous challenges, including network congestion, aging infrastructure, and rolling stock. It must also maintain high levels of punctuality while ensuring safety. These issues result in a wide range of projects within the sector, such as adding new rail services and networks, maintaining and upgrading the infrastructure or rolling stock, and acquiring new railway assets.

Competency Development

The railway industry is facing a shortage of skilled labour. Many railway experts are approaching retirement, so it is essential to attract and impart the appropriate skills to a younger workforce.

Technical Expert Services

Today, even well-managed railway companies can face disruptions caused by equipment failures, infrastructure issues, and cost overruns. Railways must comply with numerous regulations, standards, and other legislation that vary across territories. These regulations pertain to safety, environmental standards, and operations. Adapting to new regulations can increase the complexity and costs of operations and maintenance efforts.

Technology Solutions

The railway sector is steadily embracing cutting-edge technological innovations. Whether in signalling, infrastructure, rolling stock, or tools provided to employees, the industry consistently seeks innovative solutions. These efforts aim to enhance safety, ensure compliance, and improve operational efficiency.

“QQLF was instrumental in setting up the TransEd Operations and Maintenance Team for future success. They took complex project requirements that interface with sophisticated technology and translated it into operating processes and procedures. TransEd O&M would be a in a difficult position if QQLF was not there to help us hit the ground running.”

George Caroll, General Manager, TranEd LRT Project Edmonton

Sylvain and his team consistently deliver high-quality work, showcasing both their expertise and their dedication to meeting client needs. We relied on Sylvain’s industry expertise, attention to detail and innovative approach to ensure that our business was ready to meet the needs of our client.  QQLF is proactive in addressing any concerns and are always open to feedback, which has made the entire process smooth and efficient.

We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Sylvain and QQLF for many years to come.”

Lenore Kay, Head of Finance, TransEd LRT Project Edmonton

“Over the past three years, Sylvain and QQLF have worked with Cad not in a standard consulting mode, but rather in a partnership where QQLF took full responsibility for their deliverables while supporting a wide range of related activities, thereby becoming an integral part of the mobilization team for our Cad Rail Fleet Services division in Toronto.

One of QQLF’s greatest strengths, beyond the knowledge and skills of their permanent employees, is the strength of their network and their ability to quickly identify specialists with niche expertise to address specific needs. This agility allows us to focus on our core competencies, knowing that QQLF is there to fill occasional expertise gaps as needed.”

Benoit Leclerc, President Cad Railway Services Inc.

“I have been working with Sylvain and the QQLF team for the past 3 years, they have provided exceptional service and support to my projects.”

Richard Williams, President WSC Consultants

“QQLF has been a great business partner to work with on our efforts to enhance production efficiencies and to streamline processes and procedures leading to sustained improvement in performance.  Sylvain Gervais is a true professional and can be counted on to deliver on his mandate.  We highly recommend QQLF.” 

Tom Martin, President, TTA Transit Air LLC

Furthermore, their well-detailed and visually engaging training programs enable us to collectively improve at ArcelorMittal.”
