Osmose Railroad Services was formed in 1954, in response to the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad's request to help "extend the life" of their timber bridges. From humble beginnings to a nationwide contractor did not happen overnight. After spending the first decade in-place treating timber bridges, Osmose was asked if we could help repair them too. In 1965, we began posting piling, changing caps and a little later on, replacing stringers. We are now one of the largest timber bridge service/solution providers in North America.

As concrete, stone and masonry structures started to crack due to age and traffic patterns, Osmose was again asked to solve these problems. Thus began our pioneering service of epoxy injection to "weld" broken pieces together. This expansion continued into a full service concrete repair including the use of special polymer mixtures to speed repairs in traffic sensitive zones. More and more, greater engineering expertise was needed and that part of our support team also began to expand.

Steel bridge repair was embarked on in 1988, again at the request of our ever growing customer base. This specialized service has now grown into one of the largest segments of our bridge services. It was only natural that our next expansion would be to design and build new structures. In 1996 we embarked on our turnkey design and rebuild service.

As the digital age dawned, Osmose embraced it. Our inspection team and their final reports combine state of the art data capture and analysis to help our customers prioritize needed repairs. With our expanding engineering services, we have become the "One Stop Shop" for the railroad industry.
