Transportation
Tri Innovations brings industry-leading expertise in transportation, including railway engineering and track design for Class 1 railways, LRT, and industrial sidings. We also support facility upgrades and expansions for commodity loading, unloading, and storage systems.
Integrated Solutions for Complex Transportation Projects
Tri Innovations plays a key role in the Transportation Sector by providing comprehensive solutions and design in Industrial Rail, Light Rail Transit, and Class 1 Railways.
A key strength is our ability to design and execute Industrial Rail Siding projects for both greenfield and brownfield terminals. As a full-service EPCM we can execute the full scope of design, from the track design to the facility infrastructure & equipment supporting loading, offload and storage of the various commodities being handled at the rail terminals.
As part of the network of North American Rail Solutions (NARS) companies, affiliate companies can supply, install, construct, maintain and operate industrial railways. NARS is the largest full-service railway supplier in North America.
This bench-strength adds to our expertise by providing a wholistic understanding of project construction and operations. Within our technical electrical and controls department, we design for automation, digital asset management and electrical systems to streamline the rail and loading/unloading operations.
With a proven track record in rail projects, we combine technical excellence with operational insight to deliver projects that meet the highest standards of safety, compliance, and efficiency. We will build a team for each project, tailored to individual scope, whether a large capital development or a small MOC project.
