Structural & Materials Engineering

RDM’s services include new design, from multistory structures to ancillary support structures, as well as the evaluation, repurposing, repair, and strengthening of buildings and infrastructure-supporting structures. RDM develops practical solutions that extend service life, address hidden deficiencies, adapt existing infrastructure to modern code requirements, and mitigate challenges created by unique environmental demands.

Structural Analysis & Design

RDM provides advanced structural analysis and design services for new construction, rehabilitation, and complex infrastructure projects, delivering code-compliant, efficient, and constructible solutions across buildings, aviation facilities, and heavy civil works.

Evaluation & Assessment

RDM conducts comprehensive structural evaluations and condition assessments using field inspections, non-destructive evaluation (NDE), advanced instrumentation, structural health monitoring (SHM), materials testing, and engineering analysis to determine existing capacity, identify deterioration, and guide repair and rehabilitation strategies.

Corrosion & Service Life Modeling

RDM specializes in corrosion assessment and both deterministic and probabilistic service life modeling, applying advanced materials testing and Monte Carlo simulation techniques to predict long-term durability and support cost-effective maintenance and rehabilitation planning.

Peer Review & Value Engineering

RDM delivers independent peer reviews and value engineering services that provide objective design validation, identify cost-effective alternatives, and enhance project performance, safety, and lifecycle value.

Electrical Engineering

At RDM, our Electrical Engineers deliver specialized assessment, design, and implementation services for airfield electrical systems that keep airports operating safely and efficiently around the clock.

Airfield Lighting Systems

Design services for runways, taxiways, approach lighting, PAPIs, and apron lighting (FAA, ICAO, and US military standards). We assess existing systems and incorporate LED and smart-control technologies.

Navigational Aids (NAVAIDS)

Precise siting of ILS, VOR, GPS ground stations, AWOS, RVR, RWIS, and other systems with FAA Technical Operations coordination.

Critical Power and Emergency Systems

Multi-source services, transfer switches, UPS, and generators designed to FAA reliability requirements for all approach categories.

Electrical Infrastructure

Cabling, duct banks, and pull structures designed for maintainability, with strategic placement outside the RSA and circuit isolation for rapid fault identification.
