RAILROAD SERVICES
Facilities

They say an army runs on its belly. Likewise, a railroad’s army of locomotives runs on fuel, lubricants, water, and sand. For the past 15 years, not a day has gone by that Kennedy/Jenks has not been engaged in the design or construction of these mission-critical facilities. Our railroad industry experience ranges from design and construction of $12 million complex 6-stanchion, two-track, concrete mainline service platforms, to custom pneumatic sanding systems, to a simple fuel truck spill pad. Services we offer include:

  • Mainline & Service Fueling Facilities
  • Tank car loading & unloading facilities
  • Truck loading & unloading facilities
  • Tank farms
  • Tank farm lining
  • Pump houses
  • Diesel fuel, lube oil, journal oil, methanol, & water systems
  • Sanding Systems
  • Yard Air Systems
  • Utilities
  • Truck pads
  • PLC/SCADA
  • Planning, Permitting, Design, Bid, Contract Administration, Resident Engineering & Construction Management
