Deutsche Bahn's railway network provides the life blood for the German and European economy. The infrastructure projects contribute to green mobility for goods and people in Germany .
The book highlights major expansion projects, core projects and broad infrastructure improvements, huge signalling projects, the latest slab track technology, impressive bridges and deep tunnels.
In their contributions, engineers from DB ProjektBau, engineering firms and he construction industry, examine different aspects of the projects.
Once again, a collection of contributions on the theme of "Construction of the German railway" is presented under the title "Infrastructure Projects".
This time, published by DB Netz AG, the focus is not on individual projects, but rather on innovations. With Building Information Modeling (BIM), investments are better prepared and implemented.
First digital, then build for real & nbsp; - this also facilitates a dialogue with the public. With the DB citizens' dialogue, the railways have in recent years set standards for public participation in the planning of large projects. Using sensors and software, DB Netz AG analyzes the state of the installations in order to better plan preventive maintenance. This increases quality and availability on the network. And because the construction is not an end in itself, but a means to provide customers with an effective infrastructure, existing technologies are optimised. Furthermore, new standard solutions are set, for example for small bridges.
In addition, the book looks at innovative solutions for noise protection. This also helps to achieve more acceptance of rail transport.
Following their 2010 and 2012 publications, DB ProjektBau GmbH gives an insight into the diversity of projects for the expansion of German railway infrastructure with a book entitled "Infrastructure Projects". The railway network of German railways provides the life-blood for the German and European economy.
The infrastructure projects contribute to the green mobility for goods and people in Germany . Deutsche Bahn is investing more than € 5 billion a year in railway infrastructure in Germany - in railways, railway stations and energy supply. This huge investment programme is funded by the federal government, by the European Union, by the federal states and municipalities as well as by Deutsche Bahn itself.
DB ProjektBau GmbH plans and implements a large part of Deutsche Bahn's infrastructure projects. With a construction volume of up to three billion euros per year and around 4,000 employees, it is one of the largest engineering firms in Europe.
For the sixth time, Deutsche Bahn gives an insight into investments to strengthen the railways.
Since the last publication, Deutsche Bahn has had a lot of tailwind from politics and society. The climate debate, as well as the experiences of the Corona months, have clearly shown: Germany needs the railways! Environmental and climate protection, sustainable mobility - it doesn't work without rail.
Politicians have paved the way for strengthening the railways in Germany: with comprehensive investment programs, with the modernization of planning law for an accelerated implementation of investments, with new concepts such as the “Deutschlandtakt”. With the participation of the entire rail industry in the “Rail Alliance for the Future”, a “master plan” for rail traffic was created. The DB Group has realigned its corporate strategy to the "Strong Rail Germany". Together we have the goal of getting more traffic onto the rails.
This book shows how DB Netz, construction companies and planners work together as partners in the Rail System to achieve this goal.
