Case Study: Sound Transit clears rail lines ahead of schedule with Davey Tree Surgery Company

Sound Transit clears 5-mile rail line vegetation 98% complete with Davey

Sound Transit, a rapid transit light rail system in the Seattle area, faced a challenge with overgrown vegetation along a five-mile section of its track. The mature trees and plants presented a potential hazard to rail operations, and the work required expertise beyond their own resources. They hired Davey Tree Surgery Company for its vegetation management services to clear the rail lines safely and efficiently.

Davey provided a comprehensive solution, utilizing a certified arborist to identify hazards and a skilled crew to remove trees and vegetation, including large hazard trees. They also expertly managed scheduling coordination with adjacent private property owners and municipalities. The project was completed ahead of schedule with no safety incidents, and the client was highly satisfied with the timely results and Davey's responsive communication.
