About
Struve's relatives included diplomats, engineers, government officials and military officers. He was a graduate of the main artillery school of the Imperial Russian Army and received his engineering education at the Nikolaevsky Engineering Academy.
From 1858 to 1862, he was chief of construction of the Moscow–Nizhny Novgorod railway, which was opened from Moscow to Vladimir on 26 June [O.S. 14 June] 1861 and to Nizhny Novgorod on 13 August [O.S. 1 August] 1862.
In 1863, he established workshops at Kolomna to manufacture iron structures for bridge spans. This facility was converted in 1871 to manufacture machinery under the name A. Struve, Kolomna Maschinenfabrik, with his brother Gustav as manager. This was the forerunner of today's Kolomensky Zavod (German: Lokomotivfabrik Kolomna).
Struve was chief of construction in 1864–1865 of the Oka bridge of the Moscow–Ryazan railway, the first bridge in Russia intended for both railway and road traffic. He next supervised construction of a section of the Moscow–Kursk railway; this road was opened from Moscow to Kursk on 29 September [O.S. 17 September] 1868.
