Environmental Rail Solutions has gained extensive experience over nearly 20 years in the rail and environmental remediation industry. When you partner with ERS you will benefit from:

Project Personnel

Most important to ERS’s capabilities are the individuals directly responsible for the performance of the contract. ERS understands that communication is essential for a successful project. Calls to our office are directed to a live person regardless of the hour. ERS will provide frequent reporting on the status of the project and highlight potential issues that may arise to ensure prompt resolution and keep your project on schedule. Overall management of your project will be in the hands of Mr. David Ardito, an ERS vice president and principal with 30+ years of experience in transportation logistics and management. All other personnel assigned to the project, employees and vendors, are responsible to Mr. Ardito for maintaining the high standards he has set for the organization.

Extensive Equipment Inventory

Whatever the project, ERS has the equipment to meet your needs. With a fleet of 140 railcars and 300 intermodal containers ERS can deploy the right equipment and design the right strategy to cost effectively transport material. In addition, ERS has gondola lids, spreader bars, track mobile and other equipment and shipping supplies to support your project operations.

Financial Stability and Security

ERS has the financial resources to ensure your project ramp up and continuity. Our excellent relationships with our vendors, particularly with railroads (CSX, UPRR, NS) provide us access to credit lines sufficient to get your project underway without immediate cash flow concerns on your part. ERS offers competitive payment terms during the project execution with an understanding of the impact of government funding when that is a factor. In addition to financial strength, ERS maintains a pollution liability policy with a five million dollar limit.

ERS has developed a dependable support team that can bring the necessary experience and specialization to each phase of your project.  The team includes joint ventures with government-approved contractors (women owned, small business, hub zone etc), which bring mutual contractual commitments to the project.  Among the other highly experienced ERS team members are:
