Site feasibility & due diligence that de-risks the decision.
Independent, operator-grade assessment of rail access, capacity, utilities, entitlements, and environmental risk — before you commit capital to a rail-served site.
We test whether a site can actually perform before you buy or build.
A parcel near a railroad is not the same as a viable rail-served asset. Our feasibility and due diligence work pressure-tests every assumption that drives the investment case — confirming the serving carrier, validating track geometry and capacity, checking utilities and entitlements, and surfacing environmental and regulatory risk early.
Grounded in real operating experience, our findings give buyers, developers, and lenders the confidence to move forward — or the evidence to walk away before costly surprises emerge.
Request a Feasibility Study
Findings shaped by people who run rail and terminals.
Our diligence is not a checklist exercise. We assess sites the way an operator would — judging whether the rail connection, capacity, and infrastructure can deliver the economics the deal depends on.
That perspective surfaces the risks generic reports miss, and gives decision-makers clarity before capital is committed.
A complete view of what determines whether a site is worth pursuing.
Rail access & carrier confirmation
Verify active rail connection, serving railroad, switching arrangements, and the realistic service levels and rates a site can secure.
Track geometry & capacity
Assess curves, grades, spotting length, and room for storage tracks and expansion to confirm the site can handle projected car volumes.
Utilities & infrastructure
Evaluate power, water, gas, stormwater, and road access against the demands of industrial-scale operations and future growth.
Entitlements & zoning
Review zoning, permits, and entitlement status to identify approvals — and timelines — required before development can proceed.
Environmental & regulatory risk
Screen brownfield history, wetlands, grade crossings, and FRA/STB jurisdiction to quantify cost and schedule exposure early.
Volume & economic modeling
Model inbound and outbound carloads, freight savings, and development cost to build an honest, defensible investment case.
Let's pressure-test it before you commit.
