Design at DB Engineering & Consulting
The mobility of tomorrow is a complex challenge that we work on every day, investing our passion and the necessary expertise.
Deadlines, costs and quality must be kept in balance in every infrastructure project to ensure operations are reliable, efficient and sustainable.
It's no easy task. To reach your goal, you have to be able to envision how all relevant areas will work together. For us, that means developing individual components and linking them to create a forward-looking overall system that meets our customers' needs.
DB Engineering & Consulting handles all tasks related to designing transport routes, stations, depots, terminals and the associated technology – from the basic assessment to detailed design. We make sure your project is well positioned from start to finish.
