Extending the service life of timber railroad bridges is our signature service. Since 1954, Capital Railroad Services has provided detailed inspections followed by in-place internal treatment for literally tens of thousands of timber structures. By carefully placing specialized wood preservatives, we significantly extend the life of critical timber components and delay costly replacements. County roadway structures and “Rails to Trails” timber bridges are also excellent candidates for our internal treatment services.
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of each timber bridge. Detailed final reports quantify remaining sound wood and give you an internal blueprint of your structure. This data-driven approach helps you prioritize future repair work, allocate budgets more accurately, and strengthen your overall bridge management program.
By combining proven preservatives with proprietary procedures, we help control active decay and slow future decay growth inside timber piles, caps, and other members. Routine internal treatment is the only service proven to help arrest existing decay in timber pile bridges, reducing the need for full bridge replacement and extending the useful life of your assets.
Maintain your timber pile bridges with a trusted internal treatment program and reduce unexpected service interruptions. Capital Railroad Services can help you:
By centralizing inspection information, we help our customers make faster, more informed decisions about their railroad bridge assets.
