ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CASE STUDIES
One of the top railroad contractors in North America, Hulcher Services Inc. supports the railroads, grain businesses, intermodals, general industry and the government with a wide range of Environmental Services.
Hulcher Services' employees are trained and experienced in a broad range of skills useful on large-scale environmental remediation projects, emergency response and industrial maintenance. Our crews are safety certified by all Class I railroads and have years of experience working in railroad and industrial environments.
Our environmental professionals' interdisciplinary training allows them to be cross-utilized in areas of project management, health sciences, regulatory liaison, interpreting, analytical data, permitting, heavy equipment mobilization and operation and field supervisor duties
We have 35 locations and 250 pieces of heavy Caterpillar® equipment around the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, Hulcher is bonded and insured in all 50 states; our liability insurance policies expressly delete the usual exclusion for work within 25 or 50 feet of railroads. We maintain preferred vendor arrangements with top businesses and have long-established relationships with many environmental consulting firms.
Hulcher has extensive experience with many Environmental Services. Periodically we will feature one of our Environmental projects in a case study or project showcase, to illustrate the types of work we perform successfully on a daily basis.
The following list of case studies provides detailed technical information about a variety of Environmental Services we have performed recently.

Case Study - Hulcher Completes Demolition of Sand Tower and Oil Filling Station

Rather than incurring the expense to maintain the building and tower, the railroad decided the best option was to demolish them. After a competitive bidding process, Hulcher Services was chosen for this project. |
