TxDOT’s contractor provides shoring, erection, erosion control and demolition plans for review and approval to the railroad company prior to beginning bridge work within railroad right of way. Refer to the individual railroad company’s guidelines for developing these plans. On underpass projects or projects with shoring within OSHA Zones A or B, shoring guidelines are typically included in the PS&E and would not need to be developed by TxDOT’s contractor. See

sheet 3

of the Railroad Requirements for Bridge Construction for further details.
