Heavy Rail & Structural Engineering Solutions for North America
Led by a Veteran and licensed drone pilot, Riehl Rail Solutions, Inc. provides reliable, precise engineering and consulting for bridge management, regulatory guidance, and technical advocacy to keep your supply chain moving safely.
Commitment to Infrastructure and Industry Standards
Managing port and industrial rail infrastructure requires more than basic engineering — It demands deep regulatory mastery and rapid deployment capabilities. As active contributors to AREMA (American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association) recommended practices, we don’t just navigate the current regulatory environment; we are actively involved in developing the industry’s future best practices. We combine this technical leadership with the precision, discipline, and mission-first mindset of a Veteran-led firm.



Services

Strategic Capital & Asset Management
We translate complex structural inspection data into actionable, long-term fiscally sound strategies. Our detailed analysis helps port authorities and industrial operations forecast repair cycles, maximize asset lifespans, and prioritize capital expenditures without interrupting daily operations.
Due Diligence Evaluations
Mitigate risk before you buy, lease, or expand. We conduct rigorous structural and operational due diligence evaluations on existing rail and structures infrastructure, uncovering hidden liabilities and providing clear cost projections to protect your investments.
Bridge Management Solutions
From short-lines to massive industrial terminals, our comprehensive bridge management solutions ensure full compliance with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and AREMA recommended practices and local mandates. We oversee inventory data, track structural health, and design customized maintenance programs.

Advanced Inspection & Emergency Operations
Licensed Drone (UAS) Inspections
Our FAA-licensed remote pilots utilize advanced drone technology to safely capture high-resolution imagery and data from hard-to-reach structures, high spans, and over-water assets. This drastically reduces inspection costs and eliminates unnecessary safety risks to personnel.
Rapid Emergency Response
When extreme weather, structural failures, or accidents threaten to halt your operations, downtime isn’t an option. Our team provides rapid-mobilization emergency response to assess damage, verify structural integrity, and provide immediate actionable paths to safely restore service.

Advisory & Technical Services
Owner’s Technical Representative in Litigation
When legal disputes arise over structural failures, construction defects, rules compliance, or contractual bottlenecks, you need an expert who speaks both engineering and law. We serve as your technical backbone in litigation, analyzing forensic evidence, providing expert opinions, and safeguarding your interests.
Program Development & Industry Best Practices
We build safety, maintenance, and operational programs from the ground up tailored to your facility. Because our leadership is directly involved in shaping AREMA recommended practices and the broader regulatory environment, your programs will always represent the gold standard of modern industry compliance.
Your Continuous Technical Resource
Think of us as an extension of your internal engineering team. Whether you need a quick sanity check on a contractor’s proposal, Project Management support, an interpretation of a shifting regulatory mandate, or third-party oversight on a complex build, we are your reliable technical sounding board.
