Rail and Freight
SAIC’s transportation customers in the railroad, highway, and maritime freight industry benefit from our understanding of today’s rail operational, environmental, security, and regulatory issues.
Railways
SAIC has been active in freight and commodities railway projects for decades. From preliminary planning and design through construction and track installation, we have managed rail projects for railroad companies, industrial manufacturers, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and public power authorities. We also have experience with roadbed preparation, trackage, turnouts, automated remote switching, car-spotting controls, and monitoring and utility relocations.
SAIC works directly with the railroad industry providing new technologies that promote safety, security, a clean environment, and improve the efficiency of the rail network and operations. Our designs have included:
- Light rail tracks
- Rail connections
- Industrial spurs
- Rail tunnels
- Rail bridges
- Passenger stations
- Railway switching yards
- Track relocations
- Signals
- Switches
- Highway crossings
Freight Management
SAIC works with transportation departments to promote efficient, seamless, and secure freight flows and to implement new technologies that can help reduce congestion, carbon emissions, and improve the existing U.S. transportation system.
