Public Infrastructure

Approaching renovation projects as a strategic core task 

Public infrastructure in Germany is under growing pressure to undergo refurbishment and modernization. Schools, hospitals, government buildings, rail networks, bridges, roads, and utility infrastructure are often outdated, energy inefficient, and not designed to meet the digital and operational requirements of the future. At the same time, expectations from businesses and citizens continue to rise, with increasing emphasis on climate protection, resilience, security of supply, high performance, and the efficient use of public funds. 

What is Deteriorating Infrastructure?

For federal, state, and local governments, as well as public sector organizations, refurbishment has become a long-term strategic priority that places significant demands on the planning, management, and execution of complex projects while facilities and services remain operational. High-performing social and technical infrastructure is essential to the success of both the economy and society. As a result, the need to modernize existing infrastructure, ensure long-term availability, and optimize rising lifecycle costs has become increasingly urgent. 

Are You Asking the Following Questions? 

  • How can refurbishment projects be strategically prioritized and delivered with confidence?
  • Which refurbishment measures are technically, economically, and operationally feasible and deliver the greatest value?
  • How can funding opportunities be secured while ensuring long-term financing?
  • How can complex refurbishment projects be managed while facilities remain operational, such as schools, hospitals, government buildings, and public transport systems?
  • How can risks, costs, and project delays be minimized?
  • How can climate goals be achieved while improving energy efficiency and ensuring future digital readiness?

Optimization of plant and real estate

Operators have to modernize structures and plant in order to safeguard operations and improve quality. They need to improve the perception of train stations, as many customers do not feel at home in them. There are no shops selling everyday items and many existing facilities no longer meet today’s standards. New vehicle concepts only partially fit the existing infrastructure and workshops.
