SEPTA, Media/Elwyn Regional Rail Line – Crum Creek Viaduct Replacement
Project Overview
The original viaduct, built in 1895 and repaired in 1983, was at the end of its useful life. Work replaced the 925-foot-high bridge ensuring rail service will remain safe and reliable well into the future. The Media/Elwyn Regional Rail Line, locally known as “The Trestle” carries more than 320 passenger trains a week. The final structure features a closed deck with continuous welded rails over stone ballast. This produced a smoother ride for passengers.
Envision provided a full-time on-site project controls engineer performing document control services responsible for all information pertaining to the project from onset to close-out. All daily reports, correspondence, meeting minutes, RFI’s, transmittals, submittals and budget tracking. In addition to document control, Envision handled the review of the contractor’s baseline CPM schedule and all progress updates. The contractor’s progress and monthly update were part of the monthly report for the project coordinated by the field project staff. This role was provided by a full-time project controls engineer staffed at the field site.
