DB Netz AG

Construction time

21 months in a joint venture

The construction work is taking place during a one-year closure period.

Together with a consortium partner, our structural engineering team has been building a railway overpass in Bottrop on behalf of DB Netz AG since November 2021. 
The contract includes the complete earthworks (demolition), deep foundations, concrete construction, track construction and explosive ordnance probing.

All work had to be largely completed during the almost one-year closure period. The final push-in of one of the two flyover bridges recently took place.
A major speciality here was the three different pushing techniques used: SPMT pushing, strand pushing and lifting with a large crane.
