hindesky Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 https://www.rdlr.com/metro-maintenance-of-way "Located at 1507 Keene Street on the northeast quadrant of the IH 45 and IH 10 interchange, the new Maintenance of Way (MOW) facility will support the maintenance of METRORail vehicles, improve operational efficiency, enhance customer experience, and improve resource allocation. The 2.69 acres site will include a 30,000 sf main building, a 3,500 sf shop (located within the main building), a laydown yard, surface parking, and storm water detention. With such a constrained site, the building is oriented to accommodate the best access for heavy vehicle traffic, while also maximizing the space for laydown yards, staff parking, and warehouse storage. The new centralized location will provide a significant reduction in both the travel time and staging/preparation time necessary to complete maintenance or repairs." 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
