Railroad Products
An area of expansion for Construction Products is the building of railroad
bridges. Components have been built to meet the Cooper Loading requirements
for both Class One and Shortline Railroads. Bridge components by Construction
Products, Inc. can be found in numerous completed projects including:
Shortline railroad bridges near Nashville, Tennessee
Class one railroad bridges in Pennsylvania,
Missouri, South Carolina and Indiana.
Construction Products’ precast, prestressed railroad products are designed
with a stringent criteria for heavier loads. Use of the precast and prestressed
products will reduce railway company maintenance. For example, the prestressed
100-year design-life spans, up to 75 feet long, are so much bigger than wooden
spans that debris in storms can wash underneath them. This eliminates the need for maintenance-of-way
(MOW) crews to clear dangerous pile-ups, speeds up traffic and effectively
reduces the likelihood of fire damage to the structure.
Our rail product line includes:
- Piling
- Caps for beams
- Concrete beams
- Precast prestressed retaining walls for bridge abutments
- Deck panels
