Rail Loading Station

Project Overview

Engineering Design Services provided a client with comprehensive technical engineering support by conducting a feasibility study and developing the detailed design for the rail loading station. The project began with an extensive site visit, during which EDS collected critical data using both ground-based and drone-based laser scanning, as well as high-resolution photography. This data allowed for an accurate assessment of existing conditions, serving as the foundation for the feasibility study.

Following the feasibility study, EDS generated a Total Installed Cost (TIC) estimate, which enabled the client to secure an Authorization for Expenditure (AFE) and move forward with the next phase of the project. With approval in place, EDS proceeded with the detailed design, encompassing mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and civil/structural engineering, ensuring that every aspect of the rail loading station was designed for optimal performance, reliability, and long-term sustainability.

Throughout the project lifecycle, EDS remained committed to evaluating and validating multiple design options to determine the best possible solution for the client’s operational needs. By exploring alternative approaches and weighing the benefits of different configurations, this proves EDS is committed to delivering engineering solutions that prioritize efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. This project serves as a testament to EDS’ ability to deliver high-quality, data-driven engineering solutions while maintaining a client-focused approach that ensures alignment with operational and financial objectives.
