BNSF Intermodal Expansion

Memphis, TN White Construction & Associates, Inc. spent several years working with Hanson Wilson, Inc. and the BNSF Railway to expand the BNSF Intermodal Facility in Memphis, TN.

This project included clearing & grubbing, earthwork, re-channelization of existing drainage basins, base and paving, storm drainage, relocation of sanitary sewer, new duct bank for communication lines and electrical lines.
