Arden Engineering Constructors (AEC) received the 2024 Excellence Award from the National Electrical Contractors Association - NECA on their work on the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) Bus Charging Stations. The new charging stations will efficiently charge RIPTA’s electric bus fleet and will benefit RIPTA’s busiest bus route, reducing emissions and greenhouse gases.
AEC’s engineers designed and installed the charging system, which includes ABB-mobility pantograph technology and a backup gas-fired generator. Additionally, AEC installed an underground radiant snowmelt system to keep the plaza driveway clear during winter months.
