Electrical Systems for Transportation Infrastructure
It All Began with Mules
Truland Transportation was formed through the acquisition of Walker Seal Electric by long-time joint venture partner Truland Systems Corporation, creating one of the nation's largest design/build electrical systems contractors dedicated to the mass transit, aviation, and transportation infrastructure markets.
Truland Transportation's portfolio includes initial construction and upgrade/expansion of the Francis Scott Key, Chesapeake Bay, and Mackinac Island Bridges, BWI Thurgood Marshall, Richmond International, Washington National, and Washington Dulles Airports, and the Virginia Railway Express, Tide, Baltimore Metro, Amtrak, and Washington Metro rail systems.
In all, our experience with transportation infrastructure extends back to the 1910's and that era's version of a technology upgrade: installing electricity in Standard Oil’s delivery mule stables.

Truland Transportation Is Now EVITP Certified!
Truland Transportation Project Executive Chuck Hinton and Superintendent Donny Schwier have recently completed the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) and Certification.
The EVITP is a not-for-profit, collaborative training program that addresses the technical requirements, safety imperatives, and performance integrity of industry partners and stakeholders. The four day course provides instruction in installation, commissioning, and maintenance of electrical vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) across residential, commercial, and public markets.
Topics covered in the course included electrical vehicle battery types and charging requirements, utility interconnection policies and requirements, fundamentals of Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations, IP networking of charging stations, and applicable codes and standards. Certification requires EVITP participants to be a state licensed or certified commercial/industrial electrician, master electrician, or electrical administrator and to pass an exam at the end of the course.
Says Hinton, “The EVITP program provides consumers with an assurance that the contractor they choose has been trained according to the standards of the EVSE industry and has demonstrated that they understand and can apply what they have learned.”
