Project Management Services
We are very experienced in performing project management tasks for our customers to assist in oversight and planning of ongoing projects. Our Project Management services involve research, reporting, archiving, and organizing data for our clients
Oversight and Planning
We oversee task progress of various parties including internal and/or 3rd party designers, material integrators, other departments in our clients’ company, and other railroads to ensure projects are ready and installed to meet client deadlines.
Tracking and Inventory Managment
We also have extensive knowledge in building and maintaining tracking, archiving, and inventory database systems for railroad customers. In the last few years, we have created and populated tracking and inventory databases for a Class I Signal Department using Filemaker Pro database program. This was a massive project that involved collecting data from the field for every piece of in-service signal equipment and populating it into a database for future record keeping and management of their department.
Bid Packages
Our project management specialists create bid packages sent to third party designers and installation contractors for bidding on railroad signaling projects. This includes creating bid letters, plans, and any other documentation required to describe all signal project requirements and parameters.
Wireline Application Processing
We have over 17 years of experience in processing and compiling signal department reviews of wireline applications submitted by companies to install overhead or underground utilities on railroad property. We review these applications and create a package for the signal departments with details of the installations and any possible interference with signaling equipment in the area. After an internal approval process, we submit our packages to their Signal Dept for final approval. Once approved, we submit our final package to the railroads wireline processing group for them to complete the contracts with the applicants.
