As a cost effective and efficient mover of freight and people, rail is safe, reliable, and a sustainable method of transportation. DGL Consulting Engineers provides civil engineering and related rail services for both railroad infrastructure and facilities. Our team’s rail experience includes industrial track, site infrastructure, mainline connections, layout and the development of plans for rail and rail-served clients. We maintain our reputation of looking beyond the task at hand to help our clients identify ways to improve operations, capacity and flexibility. One way our team delivers measurable results is by working with clients to reduce initial capital costs, improve site circulation / site mobility, and decrease long-term operating expenses.

The importance of collaboration is well understood by our team. Our consulting engineers serve as project liaisons with the business owner, municipalities, and government agencies. We have a firm-wide focus on safe and efficient travel, including transportation and site related projects.
