Heartland Corridor wins Hay Award
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefThe American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) has presented the 2010 William W. Hay Award for Excellencein railway engineering to Norfolk Southern’s Heartland Corridor project.
The award was presented during the AREMA 2010 Annual Conference and Exposition in Orlando, Fla.
STV provided construction management services for the $190million project, which removed obstructions from 28 tunnels and seven bridges in the 530-mile rail corridor between Columbus, Ohio, and Norfolk, Va. This will help cut about a day’s transit for double-stacked container trains between the East Coast and the Midwest.
The award honors the late Dr. William W. Hay, an academic leader in railroad engineering for more than 25 years. This is the 12th year AREMA has presented the award.
