Kansas City Southern de Mexico Liquids Terminal

The Kansas City Southern de Mexico Liquids Terminal project supports refined petroleum distribution across Mexico’s expanding energy and transportation corridor. Valued at $45 million, this project involved the construction of a modern liquid transload facility and integrated rail infrastructure. To ensure timely completion, CPM scheduling services were utilized throughout the process.

The terminal was strategically located to facilitate fuel movement between railcars and storage tanks. It features advanced systems for unloading, containment, and distribution of refined products. In addition, multiple rail lines were constructed to improve transport efficiency and provide direct site access for product delivery and export.

We provided complete CPM scheduling services to support the delivery of this time-sensitive, logistics-heavy project. From the start, we built and maintained a schedule that aligned with construction milestones, procurement timelines, and regulatory reviews. This helped ensure all trades remained coordinated and critical work advanced without delay.

CPM Scheduling Services | Logistics and Facility Coordination

Our scheduling approach supported parallel construction of the rail lines, tank foundations, and mechanical systems. We developed logic-driven schedules that accounted for specialized equipment installation, material lead times, and commissioning activities.

We sequenced work for the rail infrastructure alongside liquid handling components, including pumps, meters, and containment systems. By doing so, we reduced schedule conflicts and improved coordination among civil, mechanical, and electrical crews.

As work progressed, we issued regular updates to track progress and flag risks early. These updates supported decision-making and kept stakeholders aligned on deadlines and resource allocation. We also reviewed subcontractor sequencing, float values, and critical path shifts to keep the schedule responsive and accurate.

The final scope included truck and railcar loading stations, piping systems, a control building, and safety infrastructure. By maintaining alignment between planning and field execution, we supported the successful delivery of a fully functional liquid terminal.

Today, the Kansas City Southern de Mexico Liquids Terminal streamlines petroleum product movement across modes, increasing throughput and reliability. The project reflects our ability to apply detailed CPM scheduling services to large-scale infrastructure—ensuring complex work stays on track and delivers long-term value.
