The corridor crosses through five countries \u2013 the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy \u2013 and includes six modes of transport: roads, rail, ocean freight, air freight, suburban trains and inland waterway transport on the Rhine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boasting impressive dimensions, the corridor has a total length of 6,200&nbsp;km (3,800&nbsp;mi.), with railway track accounting for 3,000&nbsp;km (1,800&nbsp;mi.) alone. The corridor links Europe&#8217;s strongest economic regions with the North Sea and the Mediterranean, thus serving as a main connector for freight transport across the entire continent. The Rhine-Alpine corridor also plays a particularly important role in the TEN project itself. Since it is already at an advanced stage of development, the transport network provides best practices and serves as a blueprint for other corridors in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-base-card\"><a class=\"base-card\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/transport\/infrastructure\/tentec\/tentec-portal\/map\/maps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><figure class=\"base-card__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"base-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/TENTec_InteractiveMapViewer-1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/TENTec_InteractiveMapViewer-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/TENTec_InteractiveMapViewer-1-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/TENTec_InteractiveMapViewer-1-520x333.png 520w\" alt=\"European Rail Network - European Year of Rail 2021 - TEN - Scandinavian - Mediterranean corridor map\" width=\"587\" height=\"376\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1330px) calc(((1200px - 35px * 5) * (3 \/ 6)) + (35px * (3 - 1))), (min-width: 768px) calc((((100vw - 130px) - 35px * 5) * (3 \/ 6)) + (35px * (3 - 1))), calc(100vw - 60px)\"\/><div class=\"label-reference\" data-image-reference=\"OpenStreetMap contributors, Credit: EC-GISCO, EuroGeographics for the administrative boundrie, European Commission - DG MOVE - 2018\"><\/div><\/figure><div class=\"base-card__copy\">Click on the image to view the interactive TENTec map with the trans-European transport corridors.<\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading headline-h3\"><strong>Breaking down barriers \u2013 boosting rail transport<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One unique aspect of TEN is its focus on overall expansion. While border checks within the EU may be a distant memory, barriers still exist between countries. Structural hurdles like discrepancies in rail profiles slow down freight and passenger transport. These kinds of issues inconvenience everyone involved and weaken the climate-friendly rail system. The EU intends to harness the TEN program to boost rail transport, so Europe&#8217;s corridors are being steadily expanded and modernized. DB Engineering &amp; Consulting is currently involved in several major projects on the Rhine-Alpine corridor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since April 2021, the <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/?post_type=dbec_project&#038;p=6748\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emmerich-Oberhausen upgraded line<\/a> has included a bridge 64&nbsp;m (210&nbsp;ft.) long and 8&nbsp;m (26&nbsp;ft.) wide which took some eight months to build and provides a path across the <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/news\/bridge-insertion-over-the-rhine-herne-canal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhine-Herne canal<\/a> in Germany&#8217;s Ruhr district. Moving the 260-ton steel structure into place was precision work at its finest. The bridge is now helping traffic move much more quickly. Additionally, 55 rail crossings are being replaced by 38 bridges on the upgraded line, which is 73&nbsp;km (45&nbsp;mi.) in length, and the system transition point on the border between Germany and the Netherlands is being upgraded as well. In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/productportfolio\/construction-supervision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">construction supervision<\/a>, we&#8217;re handling <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/productportfolio\/design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">design<\/a> and implementation management for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Near the border between Germany and Switzerland, DB Engineering &amp; Consulting is also working on the TEN expansion, in this case as the overall planner \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/news\/rail-design-contract-for-karlsruhe-basel-final-section-awarded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karlsruhe-Basel<\/a> upgraded and new-build line encompasses several important transport hubs, including Freiburg main station. The highlight of the construction project is the Katzenberg tunnel, which is 2,000&nbsp;m (6,500&nbsp;ft.) in length.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These examples are just a handful of the many construction projects large and small which are underway along the entire corridor. European integration on the rails \u2013 that&#8217;s the heart of the TEN program, and DB Engineering &amp; Consulting is working toward that goal each and every day.
