1 SCOPE

The Commission approved the purchase of four Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) from
Caterpillar Tunneling Canada Corporation, formerly Lovat Inc., on July 9, 2009 for use in
the construction of the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension. TBM description of
major components are attached as Appendix A.

The tunnel liner moulds were manufactured by Armtec Holdings Ltd.

Four Power Substations for the TBMs were manufactured and supplied by ABB Inc.
These four TBM Power Substations consist, in general of a 27.6 kV switch, 2.5 MVA
27.6 kV to 13.8 kV transformer and 13.8 kV circuit breaker. The life expectancy of this
equipment is 30 years; Operating: Each would be connected to a 30 amp circuit to
power up anti condensation heaters and ventilation fan.

Tunneling of the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension started on April 2011 and has
now been complete.

The TBMs are generally considered to have a useful life of tunneling of approximately 20
kilometers. At the completion of this project, they would have been used between 2.5
and 3.2 kilometers or approximately 10-15% of their useful life. Accordingly, the TBMs
will be capable of significant additional tunneling on other projects with the same
approximate diameter of tunnel.
