Confidential Client | Design-Build of 14 Bridge Replacements
Patrick replaced 14 railroad bridges along a Class 1 railroad line in central Illinois. Seven of the bridges were previously designed and were constructed by Patrick, while the remaining seven bridges were completed by Patrick as a design-build package. The project was completed under an aggressive schedule to meet the client’s transportation needs, which required all of the bridges to be replaced within ten months. To minimize track outages during construction, Patrick installed the new bridge foundations without disturbing the existing track structure, and then used a unique precast concrete pile cap design that allowed the entire bridge to be replaced within a ten-hour window. Design services provided by Patrick included survey, geotechnical and foundation design, hydraulic analyses and permitting, and structural design. Patrick’s construction services included at-risk construction management and contracting, material procurement, scheduling, cost estimating, safety management, and coordination with railroad personnel and labor forces.
