West Belt Grade Separations

Gulf Coast Rail District

Houston, Texas

To improve safety along the West Belt Sub in East Houston, the Gulf Coast Rail District had to convert four at-grade intersections to grade separated underpasses. TranSystems provided engineering services required for the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) and related documents for five grade separations along with West Belt Subdivision. These services included preparing roadway and bridge design, environmental document preparation, hydrologic and hydraulic design, traffic signal design, survey, and geotechnical data collection necessary to support the design process.
