Civil Engineering Rail Design & Operations

Rindt-McDuff Associates (RMA) civil engineering rail design and operations division helps improve existing facilities, develops new site suitability evaluations, and provides new site development solutions.

Experienced Civil Engineering Rail Design Specialist

RMA has a working knowledge of railroad design processes, standards, and approvals. Our ability to plan and design your rail system can help save you time and money in the future. Our work extends across the continental United States, and we have excellent working relationships with many national rail service networks and short-line rail service providers. These established relationships will positively benefit your projects in regard to design, permitting, and timeline.

Reach Your Rail Capacity Demands

RMA can help you maximize your operational efficiencies and increase your rail car capacity to meet current demands while complying with technical requirements. Our engineers have extensive experience working with industrial manufacturers who depend on the rail for freight delivery and associated manufacturing operations. Most importantly, we have extensive experience with time and space constraints regarding site, operational, production, equipment considerations, and other essential aspects of your project.

Turnkey Projects

RMA provides design, bid, and build services unique to your project needs. Since no two projects are alike, our project approach and available services are individualized to your suit project. We are efficient at organizing and leading design-build project delivery for turnkey projects. All of this is increasingly important when timing or scheduling becomes a deciding factor. For example, some of our industrial services include:

  • 3-Dimensional Terrain Evaluation Modeling to determine budgetary project costs (based on site constraints, on-site earthwork, and rail track requirements)
  • Civil Design, Operational Considerations, and Construction (where applicable)
  • Capital Improvement & Maintenance Planning
  • Railyard Infrastructure Analysis and Improvement
  • Design Solutions to Complex Rail and Operational-Related Technical Issues such as unloading and weighing stations development projects.

Industries We Serve

Industry market sectors that rely on us for rail design include grain handling, poultry, chemical, petroleum, paper, aggregates, and mining.
