Hempstead Road Railroad Overpass Shoring Design

Stiver Engineering provided shoring design services for the construction of three new railroad overpasses on Hempstead Road in Houston. Due to the proximity between the proposed and existing overpasses, a shoring system had to be implemented that was only 12 feet away from the railroad. The shoring design, which followed AREMA and UPRR guidelines, consisted of sheet pile with wale sets, tie backs and grouted anchors. Construction of the overpasses was performed in multiple phases, and Stiver Engineering successfully carried out designs that were tailored for the needs of each phase. The project was completed in September 2019.
