In rail transit, BRDI provides services including general contracting, civil works, electrical system, tunnel and depot system etc, with metro projects locating in more than 10 cities in China such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Nanning etc. BRDI has completed design for over 100 stations and the accumulative length of metro and LRT projects has reached 200km..
In railway engineering, BRDI is one of the 8 companies which is certified as the first class of railway design in China. Up to now, BRDI has provided design, survey or consultancy services for exceeding 500 railway projects in China, such as Jingguang Railway, Xiangyu railway, Wuguang railway, zhengxi railway etc.
BRDI is also experienced in highway engineering, tunnel engineering, municipal engineering and bridge & tunnel retrofit, completed hundreds of projects in the past several decades. In architecture and urban planning, BRDI has provided urban planning for over 5000 projects. We have completed architecture design for 12000 projects with an accumulative area over 120 million square meters, particularly with fruitful experiences in the civil buildings, commercial plaza, stadium and high speed railway stations.
