Rail Engineering for Agricultural Operations

Behrman Consulting provides rail engineering services for agricultural producers, processors, and distribution facilities. Our work supports the efficient movement of agricultural commodities by rail, from origin to market.

We design rail infrastructure that aligns with seasonal operations, high-throughput demands, and long-term facility growth.

Rail-Served Facilities & Yard Design

We deliver engineering services for grain elevators, fertilizer terminals, processing facilities, and other rail-served agricultural operations. Our services include track layout design, siding and spur development, yard configuration, and site grading and drainage.

Designs emphasize efficient car handling, reliable switching, and straightforward maintenance.

Throughput, Efficiency & Operational Flow

Agricultural rail operations often involve tight shipping windows and high-volume movements. Behrman Consulting designs rail infrastructure to support efficient loading, unloading, and car circulation, helping reduce dwell time and improve overall throughput.

Our approach ensures rail systems support operational tempo during peak seasons without compromising safety or reliability.

Practical, Durable Rail Infrastructure

Agricultural facilities require rail infrastructure that performs reliably in demanding environments. We prioritize practical design solutions that balance constructability, durability, and long-term maintenance considerations.

Coordination with Railroads & Stakeholders

We coordinate closely with facility owners, operators, and serving railroads to support approvals, constructability, and long-term serviceability. Our experience helps keep agricultural rail projects moving efficiently from planning through construction.
