Founded in 1869 and publicly listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, PORR Group is one of Austria’s oldest and Europe’s foremost multidisciplinary construction and civil engineering groups. Within its specialized civil engineering division, PORR Rail operates as a full-service railway infrastructure contractor delivering major rail corridors, high-speed lines, complex tunneling logistics, track renewals, and bridge construction across Europe and international markets.

PORR covers the entire railway construction spectrum: conventional ballasted track, turnout installation, catenary electrification, noise barrier systems, tunnel inner shells, and digital rail modeling. The company is world-renowned as the developer and patent-holder of the “Slab Track Austria” system (System ÖBB-PORR)—an elastically supported, prefabricated reinforced concrete unbonded slab track system engineered jointly with the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). Recognized globally for extreme structural longevity, rapid modular installation, and vibration mitigation, over 1,000 kilometers of the ÖBB-PORR system have been installed worldwide.

PORR Rail has executed landmark rail mega-projects across Europe. Highlights include track delivery for Austria’s 33-kilometer Koralm Tunnel, Germany’s VDE 8 high-speed corridor (Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle), the Vienna Central Station rail infrastructure hub, high-speed rail lines in Poland, and the track systems contract for the UK’s High Speed 2 (HS2) network between London and Birmingham.
