In addition, AEI has been able to introduce and develop industry standards in Canada with regards to accelerated bridge construction (ABC) projects resulting form firsthand comprehensive understanding and involvement. These projects often require multi-disciplinary input while balancing various stakeholder interests, and AEI has been able to prove its proficiency in doing so by being involved in nearly all ABC construction projects in Eastern Ontario since 2009.
