Program Management
We offer program management services that include planning, design, procurement, construction, start-up, operations and maintenance. Our program management credits include Boston’s Silver Line bus rapid transit system, Los Angeles’ Metrolink commuter rail and the Alameda Corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with transcontinental rail lines.
Planning and Project Development
Projects start with ideas. We listen to our clients’ ideas and carry their vision forward in major investment studies, alternatives evaluation, ridership forecasts, environmental impact assessments and reports, and operations studies. We also consult and offer financial analysis to advance decision-making.
Systems Engineering
We offer 20 categories of systems services, including electric power, catenary, control centers, signaling and train control, emergency management, fare collection, mechanical-electrical, QA/QC and more. We also develop designs and specifications for rolling stock.
Project Delivery and Financing
By teaming with a constructor, we can compress schedules, lower costs, reduce claims—and streamline coordination with a single point of contact. We also offer other delivery options, such as Design, Build, Operate and Maintain (DBOM) and turnkey, and help create public-private partnerships to tap non-traditional revenues.
Construction Management
Our expertise includes project controls, cost control, scheduling, inspection, claims and changes, start-up and testing. For new projects or rehabilitation programs, we offer the experience to complete construction efficiently.
Railroad and Intermodal Facilities
We meet design and evaluation service needs for every railroad structure, from tracks and bridges, to tunnels and facilities. We also provide estimating, construction management and inspection services. For intermodal facilities, we leverage wide-ranging experience serving major international port and harbor operators.
Facilities Design
Our design capabilities extend to stations, parking, tracks, rights-of-way, grade crossings, maintenance and layover facilities, seismic retrofit and more. We also excel at an array of security-related services, including vulnerability analysis, threat detection, intrusion warning and video surveillance.
Stations and Transportation Centers
Whatever the context, we integrate stations into the community fabric using our expertise in transportation planning, concept design, traffic management, architecture, urban planning and site planning. We also coordinate operations and maximize joint development opportunities.
