Just five months after breaking ground on the Louisville Intermodal Terminal, TransDevelopment achieved substantial completion of the new 25-acre facility. The terminal was built under a demanding timeline that required operations to start on New Year’s Day to meet CSX Intermodal’s customer commitments. The facility was developed on an existing industrial parcel, which had one a mile of mainline frontage. The terminal has two loading tracks, which are served by modern reach-stackers capable of unloading containers off of both tracks. To accommodate the lift equipment and container stacks, a 21-inch thick section of roller-compacted concrete was installed throughout the operating area. Existing on-site buildings were rehabilitated to serve as the administration and maintenance buildings, and state-of-the-art site lighting and IT equipment was installed. TransDevelopment served as the turnkey Development Manager for the project, with responsibility for the planning, design, site-civil work, paving, buildings, electrical, and track improvements for the $12 million facility.

TransDevelopment recently completed a new, $2.2 million turnkey expansion to the largest Atlanta-area terminal served by CSX Intermodal. The expansion was designed to enable Rubber-Tire Gantry (RTG) crane service to the final two loading tracks. Six RTG-capable tracks are now in service at Fairburn. The project established a 4,800-foot long craneway, constructed with roller-compacted concrete in two zones. The project also included earthwork and drainage improvements to accommodate the craneway, as well as relocation of six high-mast light towers. The crane service is expected to improve the efficiency of the loading tracks, which were previously served with side-loaders. Following the groundbreaking in July, the project was completed over the course of four months. Terminal operations were unaffected throughout the duration of the work.

TransDevelopment Group broke ground last month on an $11 million bulk unloading terminal in Westborough, Massachusetts. The 25-acre terminal will feature six unloading tracks with a capacity of 140 railcars. The facility is master-planned to accommodate an additional 60 railcars on three tracks. The facility is planned to be TRANSFLO’s main terminal serving the Boston area. A location on land previously used as a railroad facility was chosen to reduce project costs and environmental impacts.
The project is planned to be operational by November 2012.
