Heartland Corridor tunnel project manager selected 

Norfolk Southern's Heartland Corridor public-private partnership involves $150 million worth of tunnel enlargement work for doublestack clearances in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. AMEC, an international project management and services company with operations in Nashville, Tenn., has been selected by prime consultant STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates to provide geotechnical engineering services for this project. Twenty-eight tunnels ranging in length from 174 feet to 3,302 feet are to be heightened over a three-year period. AMEC will conduct a peer review of tunnel design and construction documents and then provide tunnel inspection and construction management services. In addition to tunnel modifications, the construction management team will be responsible for other elements of the Heartland Corridor project, including modification of seven through truss bridges, lowering of tracks at three overhead bridges, modification of nine slide-detection fences, and raising of three sets of electrical transmission lines.
