🚂🔧 Do you know what this tool is? Here’s a clue: It played a crucial role in building America’s railroads in the 1800s and is still in use today as the United States invests in its infrastructure. Pictured here is a Spike Maul, an essential tool in railroad construction and maintenance. As our country continues to modernize and expand its infrastructure, the Spike Maul remains a symbol of durability and progress. At Warwood Tool, we've been proudly producing this tool for 170 years. 🔗 Interested in learning more about our products and how they support today’s infrastructure projects?

Great collaboration and teamwork pays dividends.

We just successfully completed a challenging project, described below, while reaching over 1,000 days without a loss time incident. Reaching 1000 days of construction without a lost time incident is a significant milestone. It reflects a strong commitment to safety, rigorous adherence to protocols, and effective communication among the team. This achievement is a testament to the culture of safety that has been cultivated, where every worker understands their role in maintaining a safe environment. It’s a point of pride and a benchmark that sets the standard for future projects. However, it’s important to remember that safety is an ongoing process, and continuous efforts are needed to maintain this record. There were many challenges during the construction of a 7.7-mile transmission line, and the most notable was the Sullivan Sq. track crossing, which required the design and construction of two 45-foot-deep pits for tunnelling under railroad tracks. These pits were designed to house the tunnel boring machine capable of boring, in bedrock, twin 300’ long tunnels underneath seven railroad tracks owned and operated by the MBTA, Keolis, and Pan Am. The pits were constructed on either side of the railroad tracks and between the Elevated Expressway, Mystic Ave. Bridge, Maffa Way Bridge.

I attended a ProcurePro event in Sydney this week where a panel of Construction CEO's were asked if they could get one thing from Tech, what would it be? The response, " If we could only consolidate our data from various systems to get a real feel for the health of our businesses". Well here is your answer. The Edge Construction Control Center!

To all Railroads and Official's within the industry. Revolutionize railroad operations standardized track geometry testing – a proactive approach that surpasses current reactive practices, all while respecting FRA standards. Elevate your testing standards/ requirements to a minimum of 2 classes above the current operations, emphasizing continuous improvement. These are the basic testing items requirements cover all vital aspects listed, anything less than list is not acceptable. quit wasting money items that test below these requirements. 1. Track Geometry (e.g., XLevel, tank car, elevation, rail alignment, profile) 2. Rail cant 3. Track gauge 4. Rail profile 5. Joint bars inspections Enhance your testing process by evaluating visual elements such as culverts, crossings, bridges, and turnouts, utilizing the provided track charts data as a comprehensive reference. Encourage your company to establish equilibrium standards for curves during selection, with the flexibility to include additional criteria. Leverage the test data to address identified issues, ensuring a significant boost to the safety of your railroad track operations. This innovative process seamlessly complements routine "visually consistent track inspections." Supporting workers in the field for ensuring overall quality and safe services for all. With over four decades of railroading experience, I bring hands-on knowledge and a genuine care for all involved. It's worth noting that ATI testing processes have opportunities for improvement, including addressing various issues in data and communication. Please reach out to discuss – because I genuinely care for all Ie railroad employees, customers and communities they operate through!
