JMD’s professionals are experienced in the design and construction of various railroad track and structures projects for Class I’s, Shortlines, Transit Agencies, and public-sector rail clients. We understand the unique environment involved with working around railroads and we hold the safety of our employees and clients paramount. JMD continually trains their employees for compliance with various railroad Roadway Worker Safety programs, in addition to FRA Bridge Worker and Fall Protection Training.
Our staff’s years of rail experience allow us to offer a wide range of services ranging from planning/feasibility studies, permitting, final design and procurement, to construction management and inspection. Some of our services are described below.
