“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the MBTA through this new project on the Red Line,” said Rob Pine, Vice President of Operations for Skanska USA Civil’s New England region. “This work will bring vital improvements to Boston’s busiest subway line, an essential part of the daily commutes of Bostonians across the city.”
The project scope includes the replacement of ties, rail, and restrained rail along both tangent, curved, and restrained curve track; removal and replacement of broken or lock spike plates with pandrol plates, insulators, and C-Bonds; replacement of the contact rail and ballast; joint elimination through thermite welding; direct fixation and floating slab repairs including concrete repairs and replacement; surface line and tamping; and track stabilizing.
Construction for the project began this year.
Skanska in the U.S. is headquartered in New York City with 28 offices around the country. In 2023, construction in the U.S. generated $7.1 billion in revenue, and as a developer in the U.S., Skanska has invested a total value of $4.6 billion in commercial and multi-family projects.
