Project Management

We provide comprehensive project management for railway infrastructure, ensuring effective stakeholder engagement and expertly navigating the complexities of CTA-regulated projects. From planning and design to construction and commissioning, we proactively identify and mitigate challenges related to railway operations and flagging requirements. Through seamless collaboration and strategic resource management, we enhance efficiency and minimize risks, delivering safe, compliant, and successful project outcomes. 

Working in an active railway corridor comes with unique challenges, from                  safety risks to scheduling constraints. Ironwood Infrastructure helps navigate these complexities by developing construction staging plans, feasibility studies, flagging coordination, and track block planning. We evaluate project designs for practicality, safety, and efficiency while identifying potential conflicts, sequencing challenges, and opportunities for cost savings. By prioritizing site access, train schedules, and operational impacts, we create staging plans that minimize project interference while ensuring alignment with railway standards and best practices. 

Grade crossing construction involves complex coordination between railway and road contractors, utility providers, and various stakeholders. Ironwood Infrastructure manages this process by aligning resources for railway track construction, signal installation, and roadwork, while addressing potential conflicts between railway and road operations. We ensure smooth coordination of all parties involved, including managing utility conflicts and operational impacts. By proactively navigating these challenges, we deliver efficient, well-executed grade crossing projects with minimal disruption to both rail and road operations. 

Construction site safety on railway projects requires thorough attention to risk management and regulatory compliance. Ironwood Infrastructure specializes in hazard identification, detecting potential risks to ensure safe work environments. We assess worksite conditions, provide risk mitigation strategies, and take corrective action to address safety issues. By helping clients improve site safety culture and ensuring alignment with federal and local railway safety standards, we proactively enhance the overall safety of construction sites, minimizing risks and ensuring compliance with all regulations.
