Featured Project: The Heartland Corridor

September 9th, 2010 marked the official opening of Norfolk Southern’s Heartland Corridor, the most ambitious railroad project in the past century.  This project was a public-private partnership among Norfolk Southern and federal and state agencies to increase vertical clearances in railroad tunnels to allow passage of double-stacked container trains between the Port of Virginia and Columbus Ohio.

Anderson & Associates survey team was excited to be a part of this historic project.  A&A provided Quality Control including scanning, data collection, and virtual surveying services to verify that the railroad tunnels for the Heartland Corridor have adequate clearance for double stack cars.

Anderson & Associates, has been involved in the Heartland Corridor project since 2005, and along with scanning services, has provided staking and record surveys for 30 tunnels and 11 bridges.
