Texan railway picks Atkins for structures project

The scheme, which is adjacent to FWWR’s operational facilities in Fort Worth in the US state of Texas, is Atkins’ first project with the company.

Atkins will provide on-site personnel to oversee safety and minimise the effects of the North Tarrant Express (NTE) construction project on FWWR’s operations. FWWR will be affected by the bridges and other structures being built on and near its facilities, and Atkins will review construction submittals and requests for information on FWWR’s behalf.

NTE is a multi-billion-dollar project that is improving and expanding the Airport Freeway road corridor in northeast Tarrant County, including the segment of Interstate 35 (I-35) that passes over FWWR’s facility in Fort Worth.

FWWR operates 276 miles of freight railway through eight counties in north central Texas. It serves more than 100 customers and moves more than 36,000 carloads annually.
