DB InfraGO AG has commissioned Implenia to build the inner-city section of the Nordmain suburban railway in Frankfurt. Specifically, the construction and real estate company from Opfikon is to realise the underground section of the S-Bahn from Konstablerwache via the new S-Bahn station Frankfurt (Main) Ost (tief) to Fechenheim for the Deutsche Bahn subsidiary. The contract is worth over 200 million euros, Implenia announced in a press release.
The contract includes the starting excavation pit Trog and the excavation pit for the underground S-Bahn station Frankfurt (Main) Ost (tief), a series of ancillary excavation pits and engineering structures, as well as two tunnel tubes approximately 1.2 kilometres long. They will be constructed by mechanised tunnelling. Implenia will also carry out extensive dewatering measures and provide a range of specialised civil engineering services. Work is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2026 and be completed by 2031.
“The further expansion of a functioning transport infrastructure is central to the sustainable development of our cities,” said Erwin Scherer, Head Division Civil Engineering at Implenia, in the press release. “I am delighted that Implenia, with its many years of experience and extensive expertise, is able to contribute to improving public transport in the densely populated Rhine-Main region.”
