Redi-Rock In Action:
Canadian National (CN) Railway Project
In 2011, the Canadian National (CN) Railway and the Montreal Metro began construction on a major renovation project. The goal of the project was to eliminate an at-grade crossing where the CN Rail line crossed over the Societe de Transport de Montreal (STM) light commuter Metro line. Take a look at how engineers utilized the Redi-Rock Positive Connection (PC) System's ability to handle massive loads to complete this incredible project.
New Mexico Rail Runner Express Project
When the Rail Runner Express commuter train in New Mexico needed retaining walls and bridge abutments along the rail line, engineers chose the Redi-Rock retaining wall system for it's versatility and proven track record. Read on to see how this project incorporated both Redi-Rock gravity walls and Redi-Rock Positive Connection (PC) System walls to meet the requirements of this railway project.
LDH Energy Rail Yard Renovation
After sitting un-used for 30 years, this rail yard needed to be renovated before LDH Energy could begin using it. The yard includes three rail lines that cross over the top of a concrete box culvert flanked by deteriorating wooden cross tie retaining walls that had to be replaced in order to support the rails. Find out why engineers chose the Redi-Rock Positive Connection (PC) System as the best solution for this project.
