The strategically located Moorman Yard near Toledo, Ohio, is a major freight center for Norfolk Southern Railway Co. This $160-million project doubles the yard’s capacity. The design carefully avoided wetland and stream impacts, saving significant schedule time by using a Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit. Extensive underground utilities presented the construction team with unforeseen conditions needing quick solutions. Structural and geotechnical innovations in Michael Baker’s design solved the problems of the vertical constraints and weak soil conditions.
