BNSF Emporia Subdivision CM/GC

EMPORIA, KS

BNSF Emporia CMGC comprises about 50 miles of track being upgraded with an additional main line. Multiple bridges and culverts will be installed to upgrade this essential track line. Steamboat Structures developed erection plans for the new BNSF bridge structures throughout the corridor for steel and precast girders.

Temporary crane trestles were designed to support construction equipment for earth moving and a 250 Ton crawler crane for girder erection. All deliverables for the project required submittals to the Railroad. Pier cap falsework and bridge deck overhang falsework were provided for cast in place on four bridges.

Service provided:

• Site calibration for 9 segments (64 mi long)

• Set base points for all 9 segments for machine control

• Grate staking
