R. J. Corman Railroad Services received the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association's (NRC) Small Project of the Year Award for its work to construct a new test loop at MxV Rail's Facility for Accelerated Service Testing (FAST) in Pueblo, Colorado.
MxV Rail's 5.4-mile FAST loop enables vendors and suppliers to test their new railroad infrastructure and equipment components, maintenance practices and detection technologies in a real-world environment before going to market.
The buildout required R. J. Corman to install several different products and materials throughout construction of a three-mile section of track, comprising more than 20 experiments and additional proprietary tests.
"R. J. Corman's dedication to the buildout was demonstrated on multiple occasions when they committed multiple crews to support 7 day-a-week construction during the entire length of the project," said Scott Cummings, MxV Rail's assistant vice president of research and innovation, in a news release.
R. J. Corman was also won the NRC's Safe Contractor of the Year Gold Award. The award honors contractor members' commitment to safety.
The NRC honored R. J. Corman for its dedication to safety through strict adherence to regulations, comprehensive training and safe operations.
