Construction Management

TranSystems maintains an extensive staff of professional construction managers who are experts in managing the diverse construction needs of clients. With many former railroad personnel on staff, TranSystems understands the complexity of rail projects – from typical schedules and time frame to potential operational hazards in and around main track, intermodal, and industrial train operations.
 

From constructability, pre-planning, design, bid services, construction management and administration, to engineering and related expertise, TranSystems’ professional construction managers can provide a multitude of services that can assure the best possible project outcome no matter the delivery method. With more than 28 years of proven "positive" performance clients have counted on TranSystems to deliver: design and construction, planning and concept development, value engineering, acquisition strategy, contract development, contractor selection, construction management, contract administration, quality assurance, safety, code compliance, and life cycle maintenance and repair.
 

In addition, TranSystems is well-connected to industry design standards and actively involved in the railroad industry organizations including AREMA. By serving on the AREMA committees, TranSystems’ personnel are at the forefront regarding FRA regulations, design requirements, issues and philosophies.
