Environmental construction supervision (UBB) is an increasingly important field of activity, especially for larger construction projects. Even before a construction site goes into operation, the UBB team checks whether all specifications from planning law and the legal provisions of nature conservation and environmental protection have been taken into account in the implementation planning. As the point of contact for environmental issues, the experts accompany and monitor the construction process. In May, our employee Anna Binczik from the Nature Conservation and Landscape Planning department was certified by Deutsche Bahn AG as an "Environmental Construction Supervisor - Nature Conservation" following a successful qualification test.

Environmental construction supervision activities in the area of nature conservation (construction preparation)

• Control of resettlement measures or other protective measures before the start of construction,
• Control of monitoring during construction (selection of areas, carrying out reference surveys),
• Reviewing new evidence of strictly protected species after a decision has been made and, if necessary, initiating an emergency programme for these species,
• in the event of imminent - unauthorised - environmental damage, immediate instructions to the site management to limit the damage.

Activities of environmental construction supervision in the area of nature conservation (actual

monitoring):

• Monitoring compliance with general nature conservation regulations (e.g. ban on felling during the vegetation period),
• Monitoring of resettlement measures and other avoidance and protection measures during the construction phase,
• Monitoring and, if necessary, initiating the adjustment of building demarcation zones.

This means that we now fulfil the requirements for use on DB construction projects. Work has already started on two projects and more will follow shortly.
