Paul Weber

Paul Weber is a Rail Project Manager at HDR Engineering, Inc., based in Spokane, Washington.2 He is a skilled professional with expertise in transportation infrastructure and rail project management.

Weber has made significant contributions to the field of rail design and engineering. Notably, he co-developed the revolutionary "Infinity Loop" rail design alongside Kurt Reichelt, another senior project manager at HDR.1 This innovative design addresses long-standing challenges in loop track designs for bulk freight train processing, potentially transforming the way unit trains are handled at loading and unloading facilities.1

The Infinity Loop design, for which Weber and Reichelt have a patent pending, combines a staging yard with multiple loop tracks and a balloon loop loading/unloading track in the interior. This configuration allows multiple unit trains to enter a facility without conflicting with trains that are in the process of loading or unloading, significantly improving efficiency.13

Weber's work has been recognized in the industry, with the Infinity Loop design being featured in ACEC's Engineering Inc. magazine.13 His innovative approach to solving complex rail engineering problems demonstrates his expertise and forward-thinking mindset in the field of industrial rail planning and design.
