Scope Description:
Burrow Global provided Detailed Engineering Design and Civil Structural Design along with Electrical Disciplines to replace aging train rails and drainage systems.
New concrete crossties and rails were installed and the drainage system was updated. New curbed concrete pads were installed between the new rails to catch any spills that might occur while loading railcars. The area around the new rails was reworked to slope to existing swales. New grounding was installed with the new rails.
The project was executed without incident.
