DB Rail construction is the full service provider for the planning, construction and maintenance of infrastructure facilities, in particular rail infrastructure, including the provision of train operating services.

• Expansion line Emmerich — Oberhausen: The Emmerich — Oberhausen line is an important section for European freight transport. DB Rail construction is responsible for the technical management of a section between Dinslaken and Voerde and works within a working group on behalf of DB Netz AG (now DB InfraGO AG). The construction works include the construction of the third track on a line about 11 km long and the construction of supporting structures, passages and about 23 km of noise reduction walls.
• Erdpool: Every year in Germany alone, several million tons of earth and other excavated materials accumulate at large DB Group construction sites. These are raw mate­rials such as sand, gravel and clay, which are often disposed of as waste in landfills until now. With the Erdpool project, DB Group is now marketing these reusable raw materials. About 15 to 20% of the excavated material can be marketed across all Erdpool projects. With Erdpool, DB Group is bringing raw materials into the economic cycle, thus contributing to resource conservation. DB Group is also saving on costly disposal fees.
