RAILROAD DESIGN / BUILD

 

Mountain States’ design-build services help set us apart from our competition. With our professional engineering staff, and our strong relationships with the major railroad’s Industrial Development, Engineering, and Operations departments, the Mountain States design-build team can be your liaison with the railroad.

 

To assist our customers as they begin their track construction project, the Mountain States design-build team, typically at no-cost, will:
• Perform an on-site meeting
• Provide a professional engineered rail layout in CAD
• Provide a construction estimate
• Begin discussions with the railroad

 

By providing this assistance, we help you determine whether or not your rail needs can be met within the limitations of the proposed site, if they exist.
