The NRC is pleased to announce the introduction of the “Innovation in Technology Award.” This new award will honor and recognize innovation and unique technologies, or technological services, created or implemented by an NRC member company. Eligible technologies or related services include grade crossings, RWP, contractor safety, freight rail, industrial track, rail transit, commuter rail, intercity passenger rail, rail on port facilities and rail on military facilities.
The NRC’s recently formed Technology Committee, chaired by Allen Branham, president of B4 Solutions, LLC., developed the award to highlight ways our members are using technology to enhance safety and operations in our industry. The Committee’s formation and work come in response to requests by railway engineering leaders for technology solutions that will help generate returns on investment and bottom-line savings.
A first and second place award will be presented at the 2023 NRC Conference in Boca Raton, Florida, in January.
“For the FRA Part 219 and 243 implementation, the NRC was especially helpful for us in that they provide member companies guidance in how to comply with the ever-changing federal regulations. We also value the annual safety awards which we use to motivate our employees to uphold the highest level of safety as well as in business development materials.”
