Railroad Engineering & Applied R&D
Railroad signal design, applied R&D, and fixed-scope consulting from the creators of RWTS™, the open standard for wayside equipment data.
Railroad signaling is our core. R&D is where we take on problems without an off-the-shelf answer. Consulting is how we bring both to clients who need specific work done. We're not a staffing agency — we're an engineering firm that solves problems.
Railroad Signal Engineering
- Signal system design — grade crossings, interlockings, CTC
- Hardware configuration — controllers, relays, circuits
- RWTS™ implementation — deploy the open standard at your wayside locations
- System integration — connect disparate equipment and protocols
- AREMA Part 24.2.1 compliance — documentation and standards alignment (how RWTS aligns)
Research & Development
When off-the-shelf doesn't exist or doesn't fit, we research, prototype, and build what's needed. RWTS itself started as an R&D project. Each engagement is scoped with a clear path from concept to deployment; we build things that work in the field, not on paper.
The two areas below are consulting engagements, delivered as fixed-scope projects.
Software Development
- Custom software — web applications, APIs, integrations
- Data analytics — processing pipelines, dashboards, time-series analytics
- Technical architecture — design for scale, security, and maintainability
Enterprise Infrastructure
The same engineering discipline we bring to railroad systems applies to enterprise IT. For organizations that need alternatives to cloud services — regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, or cost control — we deploy and maintain self-hosted collaboration, document management, and secure server infrastructure.
Federal & State Procurement
Set-aside eligible. EPU Engineering is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certified through SBA VetCert, with active SAM.gov registration and a current Florida Veteran Business Certification issued by the Florida Department of Management Services, Office of Supplier Development. Federal agencies and prime contractors with SDVOSB or veteran-business subcontracting goals can engage EPU directly. Contact us for a tailored capability statement.
