Six companies claim they still haven't been paid for more than $2 million worth of work they did on Moncton's Resurgo Place, the city's new transportation museum.

Five companies have filed lawsuits against the City of Moncton and the main contractor on the project, Dora Construction Ltd.

Meanwhile, Dora Construction is also suing the city, alleging it's owed $2.1 million to cover its own costs and what it owes the subcontractors.

Six companies claim they have not been paid for work done on Moncton's Resurgo Place. Many of the problems seem to revolve around the the architectural feature on the Mountain Road side of the transportation museum. (Marc Genuist/CBC) No one from the companies or the city agreed to an interview about the lawsuits.

This is the latest problem for Resurgo Place, the $10 million transportation museum that opened in August behind schedule and over budget.

The museum was initially supposed to cost $7.6 million, but the initial cost started to climb when it was realized that the city forgot to budget for a parking lot and furniture.

The museum's opening was also delayed at least three times.

Many of the legal problems facing the museum seem to centre around the the architectural feature on the Mountain Road side of the building, according to the statements of claim, filed with the Court of Queen's Bench.

The giant sloping glass and metal roof is meant to look like a cow catcher from the front of an old-fashioned train engine.

GSI Glass Structures Inc. says it was supposed to make and install the glass for the iconic atrium.

But when workers arrived to put up the glass, they discovered the steel frame did not meet specifications, court documents state.

As a result, GSI alleges it faced an extra $821,000 in costs.

The Cat Rental Store says it hasn't been paid for the $11,000 it provided to help put up the glass structures.

RCM fabrication, which provided structural steel, claims it is owed $62,999.

Krisro Metal Industries Limited, which made the panels for the skylight, is seeking $36,000.

And J&D Electric Ltd. says $186,000 of its bill is outstanding.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
