Demand for freight rail service in the U.S. is expected to increase sharply in the coming decades, and aging infrastructure adds to those demands, all signaling the need for a strong engineering leader experienced with rail infrastructure, including track and bridges as well as technical knowledge of rail operations and regulations to keep freight rail moving.
ARCADIS provides that leadership as an experienced, single source to design, build and maintain freight rail infrastructure to meet present and future demand.
