Reimagine the possibilities: Transforming rail in Canada

Arup draws on 40 years of global experience in the rail sector to provide end-to-end integrated services that combine technical expertise with the boldness and innovation to overcome complexity and streamline delivery. Our engineers, designers and planning specialists are at the forefront of rail supporting clients worldwide to design and deliver transformative rail.

Our international expertise designing and delivering deep underground rail stations is powered by in-house expertise in advanced tunnelling, ventilation and risk and security to bring the most complex projects to life. Working effortlessly across disciplines and teams, we can help enable seamless integration of complex infrastructure while keeping cities moving during construction - and unlock exceptional journeys beneath the world’s busiest urban centres.

Extending existing, active subway systems is a technical, operational and organisational challenge. We manage interfaces between operators, contractors and suppliers to keep projects on track and integrated within the existing urban fabric. Our operational readiness activation and transition approach de-risks the path to opening and builds confidence for day one.

From artificial intelligence and machine learning to data analytics and digital twins, we are constantly evolving how we support our clients plan, design, build, operate and maintain railways. Our digitally powered approach to project controls means greater confidence across all aspects of program delivery.

Transformative rail is best achieved through collaborative delivery. Our approach is based on long-term partnership, communication and collaboration from the very start. We work with authorities, rail operators, delivery partners and contractors to streamline collaboration, accelerate decisions and keep programs on track and within budget.
