Lean, Innovative, and Unique Project Solutions
During both phases, Cianbro was challenged with completing the work while still keeping the tracks live. The tracks were to remain live at all times during weekdays, which gave Cianbro limited time to shut down the rails. The railroad closed for two consecutive 72-hour weekend periods during the sheet wall installation and one 72-hour period during the complete bridge replacement. The full commitment and participation of the team ensured the project was completed safely, on time, and resulted in both a very satisfied client and a quality product.
