J.F. Brennan Company has worked with every Class 1 and several short line railroads. We specialize in work on water-based structures such as bridges and embankments. This work includes dive services, scour and erosion repairs, concrete repairs, timber bridge repairs, and salvage.
We are different than other contractors who work on bridge structures because we have our own divers. These divers are experienced in both inspections and the construction process. Brennan can handle small repair jobs as well as large capital projects. Backed by quality equipment and intense safety training, our marine professionals are able to meet the demanding needs of the railroad industry.
For emergency response, please call our dispatch line.
