VGF Ffm Waldfriedhof – Rheinlandstraße

Extensive track construction work was scheduled for HERING in autumn 2017 in the Frankfurt city area. The service portfolio here ranged from track renewal (> 2 km) to the installation of more than 3,000 concrete sleepers and the laying of over 300 rails measuring 15 metres in length.

The special challenge: a nature reserve in the immediate vicinity of the construction site and, among other things, extremely high demands on logistics.

Further details can be found on the construction site sign.

HERING sustainability

At HERING, we see ourselves as pioneers in the field of sustainability. As early as 1996, we were the first construction company in Germany to obtain EMAS certification. Every three years, we publish an environmental statement documenting our goals and how we have achieved them. Actually, for the first time, we published a sustainability report with an integrated environmental statement in accordance with EMAS - a logical next step in view of our ecological and social responsibility. It documents how we deal internally and externally with the issues that are essential to our future viability.
