Analysis

ABC Rail

Project Description: This project involved the reconstruction of 700 feet of deteriorated spur track, including subgrade, new ties, new rail and ballasting. Construction of 450 feet of new precast concrete rail crossing was also included.

Special Issues and Needs:
Since the project area was part of the main access track to the plant, construction time needed to be minimized. Track grades and elevations were adjusted to improve car movements and drainage.

Services provided:
• Completed topographic survey.
• Designed subgrade and rail.
• Designed drainage.
• Provided construction layout
and staking.
• Track construction by
North Shore Track Services

Project Summary:
The improvements to grades and trackage virtually eliminated derailments. The new crossing is safer and stronger with much lower maintenance costs.
