Protected: 47th Street Intermodal Facility
For over a decade, Benesch has served as a trusted partner to Norfolk Southern as they work to modernize their 47th Street Intermodal Facility, a key intermodal terminal in the Chicago area handling approximately 700,000 lifts per year. Benesch has been tapped to provide a wide range of services at the facility including design, civil and structural engineering, surveying, geotechnical, pavement design, electrical work, automated gate systems and field services.
The location’s highly urbanized environment has posed logistical and regulatory challenges, such as navigating complex permitting and securing street vacations to accommodate expansions and minimize disruptions to the surrounding community. Over the years Benesch’s integrated team of professionals has been able to streamline coordination across disciplines, meet tight design schedules and quickly adapt to the facility’s evolving needs.
