DSM Engineering Plastics – Railroad Stabilization – 2019
The Situation
Railroad tracks in Vanderburgh County,IN needed updating. Many areas of track were sinking, and in need of repair.
Why They Hired Cooper Contracting
DSM Engineering Plastics needed the upgrade with minimal interruption to daily operations. Cooper Contracting continuously delivers maintenance-of-way services with very little downtime.
Our Solution
We stabilized subgrade of previously sinking railroad tracks and placed concrete railroad crossing panels to provide additional stabilization. We also installed drainage to prevent ponding and future subgrade deterioration. Performed work in a high traffic area with minimal disruption to the daily operations of the plant.
