Staying on track! Last week, Acorn assisted the Maine Department of Transportation in providing construction inspection services for the nearly $5 million Thomas Brook Rail Bridge Replacement project in Oakfield, Maine. Over the course of a 96-hour track outage, the construction team lead by Sargent worked round the clock to complete the placement of a new 170’ long structure, precast off-site by Contech Engineered Solutions, at this critical rail switchyard which allows for the movement of wood chips, lumber, fuel, and other commodities by the Maine Northern Railway. The bridge, which carries six tracks, including the main line and a gravel access road, over the Thomas Brook operates six days a week with multiple trains per day. Thomas Brook is a critical habitat for the endangered Atlantic salmon and the new culvert/bridge alignment engineered by VHB was skewed to the tracks to provide favorable geometry for hydraulics, stream flow, and fish passage needed for local wildlife. #acornseedtosite
