Rail bridges
Railroad and highway bridges differ in their design and construction. At Hanson, we know the differences and have a dedicated team of railroad project managers, engineers and designers who work solely on railroad projects. We’re familiar with the ins and outs of designing bridges and other rail structures, and we know how to keep your operations moving.
Whether you are a Class 1 or short-line railroad, our experienced railroad design group provides design and independent review for railroad structures across the U.S. Are you building an individual standard bridge or planning a complex, multiyear, phased-construction project? We specialize in scopes of all sizes. Our team excels within short construction windows and employs unique design elements when required.
As members of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association’s steel and concrete design committees, Hanson engineers stay on top of impending changes to the industry and help guide the future of efficient and long-lasting railroad engineering.
Along with your planning and design, we can provide the ancillary services that help a project run smoothly, such as:
- environmental permitting
- hydraulic design
- geotechnical investigation
- surveying
- track design
- grant writing
- construction contract administration
“What inspires me most about my work at Hanson is the opportunity to engage in dynamic teamwork and communication with a talented group of professionals, emphasizing client satisfaction and proactive problem-solving to successfully manage intricate projects and achieve critical design milestones.”
