Partnering is a form of cooperation where the involved parties determine common objectives and establish open and honest communication.

Partnering is based on mutual respect and a trusting cooperation that minimizes the risk of conflicts. The special interests of the parties are comprised by the common goal of implementing the task at hand in the best, fastest and cheapest possible way.

When requested by the client or the customer Aarsleff offers its partnering concept, which covers:

• Complex civil engineering projects
• Long-term cooperation with pipeline owners, for instance, on maintenance of pipe systems

The latter is called framework agreements based on the principles of partnering.

Partnering on civil engineering projects
An increasing number of complex civil engineering projects are executed as partnering contracts meaning that client, consultant and contractor cooperate closely on the design and execution of the project.

Our expertise is at an advanced, international level. We are able to contribute already from the design phase and our employees are highly experienced in managing and implementing complex civil engineering projects.

Framework agreements based on the principles of partnering
Aarsleff offers framework agreements based on the principles of partnering in respect of contracts for long-term cooperation on maintenance and rehabilitation of pipe systems.

Together with the customer we prioritise and determine the need for pipe rehabilitation within the geographical area and financial framework of the agreement. A long-term framework agreement based on the principles of partnering ensures:

• Optimum rehabilitation
• Sensible and long-term planning.
