Railway Civil Engineers Association
The RCEA advances professional development and knowledge in railway engineering, including main lines, metros, and light rail.
The RCEA is delighted to host three talks on the challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (often referred to as capital carbon), adapting infrastructure to our changing climate and improving biodiversity when building new infrastructure. Our speakers represent three of our biggest client organisations, Network Rail, Transport for London and the Department for Transport, together with specialist consultancy Expedition Engineering.
