Utility Coordination Services

 

We perform utility and pre-construction tasks for railroads to ensure project job sites are 100% ready for installation before install crews arrive. This includes research of area overhead and underground utilities, setting up deliveries of materials, confirming all signal and track material is on-site, setting up AC power, notifying other departments of their required work and tracking their progress, etc.

Pre-construction tasks

We gather quotes from other contractors to provide rock, culverts, concrete, retaining walls, etc. for a project. We work with the providers to schedule the delivery of these materials or services so they are on-site and/or completed when required.

Commercial AC Power Setup

We arrange for commercial AC power install for new locations where required. This involves setting up 911 addresses for new sites, contacting power companies to gather information about costs and construction timelines, and assisting with hook-up of power when ready. We also regularly assist with disconnecting AC power at retired/removed locations.

Utility Realignment and Relocation Management

Our services also include research and management of utility realignment and/or relocation required for projects such as: AC power, phone, cable, water, gas, sewer, drainage, fencing, sidewalks, curbing, road alignment, etc. If a utility needs to be moved as part of a project, we research the owner of the utility and work with them to get the utility moved to an acceptable new location. This also involves working with the railroad in their normal wireline review and contract process to get agreements modified and/or created. We provide research and bring all of the parties together to get the work completed efficiently for our clients.
