Goods and passenger traffic on trains is expected to almost double by 2035 compared to 2005.
High-speed railway networks are expected to expand in many regions. In 2050, people and goods will move at high speeds on more than 160,000 kilometers of rail tracks.
We prove our performance over the entire project route
Around the globe, contractors using Herrenknecht tunnelling technology are working to bring people closer to each other with direct train connections.
New national and transnational rail networks for passenger and freight traffic are being created worldwide. Whether through mountain ranges, under rivers or beneath densely populated urban areas – tunnelling technology and experts from Herrenknecht are usually present at the key points. Together we use state-of-the-art technologies to build many kilometers of new, efficient railway tunnels every year. Highest technical and quality standards in combination with individual all-round service ensure your project remains on time and on track economically over the entire distance.
Road, railway, metro, utility, pipeline, hydropower, mining, and exploration: Herrenknecht’s references include more than 6,200 completed projects around the world.

Pioneering technology from Herrenknecht is creating the infrastructure to take people forward, paving the way for progress. As the world’s leading provider, Herrenknecht stands for:
In short: we make every effort to ensure that your project runs as smoothly as possible, while staying on budget and on schedule.
Modern rail systems as a resilient and low-carbon
solution for tackling climate change

“Evaluating the whole life carbon of a railway infrastructure project is more critical than the impacts of construction, which are small in comparison to the operation of a transportation system.”
We are ready!
