From the Glattalbahn railway to the new St. Gallen cross-city link, and from the trimodal transshipment centre at the port of Nuremberg to track renewal for the Schweizerische Südostbahn railway – Astrid Börner works on and manages a wide range of projects. One thing they do have in common, however: they all involve railways. After graduating from the Dresden College of Transport, where she focused on railway construction in her Civil Engineering studies, Astrid Börner first moved to Berlin. There, she managed railway projects throughout Germany. In 2008, she joined Basler & Hofmann, where she is Director of the Railways Department. She enjoys passing on her extensive experience in project planning for railway systems to her more junior colleagues through internal training.
