Today, we can look back on many successes in our <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">projects<\/a>, which have had a major impact on infrastructure, mobility and transportation logistics across the globe. Recent highlights include the rail upgrade and construction project on the line connecting Karlsruhe in Germany and Basel in Switzerland, the installation of digital signaling equipment in the German town of Warnem\u00fcnde, the European transport project Rail Baltica and the launch of the Sydney Metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DB Engineering &amp; Consulting GmbH (DB E&amp;C) as it exists today was founded on April 1, 2016, with the merger of DB ProjektBau and DB International, both subsidiaries of Deutsche Bahn. This step enabled us to pool our expertise and create an even stronger unit. In 2026, we are <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/updates\/10-years-of-db-ec\/\">celebrating our 10th anniversary<\/a> &#8211; a milestone that stands for the successful development and international cooperation of around 6.200 employees from 86 nations.<span style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); color: initial; font-size: revert;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we didn&#8217;t stop there. In 2019, DB E&amp;C became part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DB E.C.O. Group<\/a> to strengthen our expertise even further. The group also includes <a href=\"https:\/\/io.deutschebahn.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DB International Operations<\/a>, which focuses on rail operations and maintenance outside Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we take charge of our responsibilities more confidently than ever. As part of the DB E.C.O Group, we work together with DB International Operations, <a href=\"https:\/\/infraview.net\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">infraView<\/a> and ESE to harness our combined expertise in the integrated rail system and connect it with digital technologies along the entire value chain. Representing innovation, sustainability and an international outlook, we join forces to bring DB&#8217;s sought-after expertise and experience to our customers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-6-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-text-image-teaser  text-image-teaser--align-image-left\"><div class=\"text-image-teaser text-image-teaser--align-image-left text-image-teaser--fade-in-static\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"column is-6-small is-4-medium text-image-teaser__column-image\"><div class=\"text-image-teaser__wrapper-media\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-figure\"><figure class=\"figure\"><div class=\"figure__inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-520x293.png 520w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-1280x720.png 1280w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Vorschau-Company-presentation_engl-1536x700.png 1536w\" alt=\"Projects - Railway track\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1330px) 1200px, (min-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 130px), calc(100vw - 60px)\"\/><div class=\"label-reference\" data-image-reference=\"<p&gt;GettyImages \/ Manuel Gutjahr<\/p&gt;\n\"><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"column is-6-small is-2-medium text-image-teaser__column-text\"><div class=\"text-image-teaser__container-text\"><h2 class=\"text-image-teaser__headline\">Gain an insight into our work! <\/h2><p class=\"text-image-teaser__copy\">Get an idea of what has been created by us.
