Services
Engineering Design
Railroad infrastructure must safely support today’s operations while adapting to tomorrow’s demands. Our Railway Bridge Engineering team helps rail owners, public agencies, contractors, and project partners extend asset life, improve network reliability, and deliver capital improvements that minimize impacts to rail operations.
Bridge Planning, Engineering and Design
We provide comprehensive structural engineering services from planning, feasibility studies, and value engineering through final design, construction support, and long-term asset management. Our engineers specialize in the rehabilitation, replacement, and design of railroad bridges, culverts, retaining structures, temporary works, and complex foundation systems. Our experience includes steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, and timber structures, supporting both freight and passenger rail networks.
Multidisciplinary Project Delivery
ARE works closely with surveyors, hydrologic and hydraulic engineers, geotechnical engineers, environmental specialists, contractors, and railroad stakeholders to deliver integrated solutions from concept through construction. We serve Class I railroads, short lines, transit agencies, departments of transportation, local governments, contractors, and consulting partners throughout North America as either prime consultant or specialized structural subconsultant.
Culverts, Hydraulic and Retaining Structures, Lifting, Jacking & Specialized Engineering
By combining practical railroad operating experience with advanced structural engineering, we develop solutions that are safe, constructible, resilient, and cost-effective.
Temporary Works & Staged Construction
Whether evaluating an existing structure, accommodating a heavy-haul movement, restoring service following an emergency event, or delivering a new bridge replacement, our focus remains the same: keeping rail networks moving safely, efficiently, and reliably.
Structural Assessment & Asset Management
Our Railway Bridge Engineering team helps rail owners, public agencies, contractors, and project partners extend asset life, improve network reliability, and deliver capital improvements that minimize impacts to rail operations.
