Transportation Planning & Policy

Freight Rail

Railroad companies and transportation systems are the backbone of growth and economic prosperity. As economies evolve, it is increasingly important that your freight rail infrastructure operates effectively and efficiently.

We develop solutions to the problems of today, and we help you plan for the issues you’ll face in the future. By coordinating innovative and sustainable design services with construction techniques that bring value, safety and efficiency to project execution, our teams work as an extension of your staff to provide successful project outcomes.

We provide domestic and foreign transportation services and solutions, covering all modes of intermodal transportation — ocean, air, truck, barge or rail — to support your projects. Our team focuses on design solutions that help you overcome the challenges to your freight rail, whether the planning solution is a bridge, crossing or rail spur.

Freight Rail From Start to Finish

Our team supports your plans with project development experience that includes front-end planning, market assessments, asset valuation and site layout. We work with your team on land use planning and project approvals from local authorities, legislative bodies and other stakeholders. A feasibility study can identify and establish critical freight rail project components, as well as potential challenges.

We also have in-house experience with environmental regulations, right-of-way acquisition and stakeholder communications that support your project’s success. Our team includes construction professionals experienced in multiple subcontracts, fast-track, complex design-build projects. The design and construction specialists are integrated at every stage, eliminating communication problems and smoothing challenges through every stage with single-source responsibility, faster project completion, early known cost, open-book team approach, enhanced quality and lower overall project cost.
