Concept to Completion
From preparation of the bid documents and specifications, to overseeing the actual construction, TRAC provides a full range of construction management services. The unique combination of engineering and construction experience, allows TRAC to act as our client’s representative throughout the duration of the project. We can offer clients a “turnkey” approach to a project or simple consulting on an as-needed basis.
Even after project completion, TRAC’s services can be retained for scheduled track maintenance inspections to ensure your investment will continue to function in an efficient, safe and economical manner.
Design, Construction, and Project Management
Our services are unique in our industry because we combine our 100 plus years of experience in both railroad design and railroad construction to close the circle of project development through execution. Upon completion and acceptance of the design, we work aggressively on behalf of our clients to secure the best pricing and availability of material and construction services in the market to complete your project.
Providing a step-by-step visual project plan allows our clients to monitor our progress and performance during the deployment. We also offer continued services post-construction completion as a form of ongoing maintenance called “TRAC Assurance” – a unique proprietarily designed program to help track owners maintain the required FRA track standards while staying within budgetary constraints.
TRAC’s railroad feasibility studies include a thorough investigation of the relationship between the requirements of the project scope and the prospective site. Working with the serving railroad and the client, TRAC will determine the feasibility of the project. Approximate budgets can be established to give the client an approximate cost to complete the project. These in depth studies offer the client a tremendous advantage by ruling out costly and complicated approaches to the project. TRAC focuses on the best possible option in terms of economics and long-term operational efficiencies.
