Partnering WSP – NCC – Swedish Transport Administration

THE BASIC IDEA OF PARTNERING

Based on shared values and objectives creates client, contractor and the

designer an integrated project organization with clear incentives for all

parties. If the targets are met, a win-win situation is achieved for everyone.

The project may be a creative environment with constant information and

knowledge exchange, leading to a more efficient design and construction.

The end product has a higher quality at a lower total cost.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY

The constant information and knowledge exchange, leads to commitment

and a learning environment in which all parties to develop and improve.

The common aim is always to make things "more efficient".

This leads to the development of industry and gaining respect / trust in

society and future generations of society developers.

DESIGN IN COLLABORATION

In partnering, the contractor actively participate in the designers work to

create construction documents for the selection of the design methods and

technical solutions as well as review and comment on the documents.

This gives the contractor early a good understanding of the site and the

ability to add a "production thinking" in the design.

WHY PARTNERING IN THE CITY LINE PROJECT?

Complex layout

Complex connections with the underground lines

User impact, noise, vibration, shutdowns

Hotel

Existing tunnels for cables and water & sewerage

Cultural interests

Overall, a very large risk exposure

WHY PARTNERING IN THE CITY LINE PROJECT? (cont.)

The preliminary design was performed by three different consultant

companies with varying degree of completion.

The conditions for the contract were not clear and contained numerous

uncertainties and inherent risks

Unclear requirements made it difficult to design rigorous and consistent

construction documents

In order to balance project risks and keep the option to continue optimization

and still obtain competitive tenders, the partnering model is a prerequisite.

BENEFITS OF PARTNERING

Early start of construction of large complex projects with built-in risks or

uncertainties

Possible to process / optimize / streamline during construction

Learning and development process

All three parties feel a shared responsibility for the construction documents

DESIGNING FOR A MORE EFFICIENT PRODUCTION

IN THE CITY LINE PROJECT Success factors:

Important to man with the right resources. The whole concept of partnering

is based on mutual trust. If we don’t have trust, the cooperation will be

difficult.

The client must have a competent design manager with mandate to make

decisions and has experiences from production.

Good and clear communication with the audit organization and supervisory

parties.

The contractor's design developer must have experience in both design and

construction.

If the planning and production are carried out in parallel, careful attention

should be paid coordinated delivery and production schedules.

DESIGNING FOR A MORE EFFICIENT PRODUCTION IN

THE CITY LINE PROJECT

Continued ..... Success Factors:

Construction documents, which only present requirements and / or clarify the

requirements in relation to the recommendations.

Transparency and teamwork between the parties is of utmost importance.

Individuals who can not make it, must be replaced.

Informality in collaborative problem solving. Hard to call, but important to get

an optimal technical solution.

Co-location simplifies the daily information and knowledge exchange. The

extent of this co-location will be dependent on the type of project.

Useful tools were developed and established, e.g. drainage strategy,

grouting strategy and intrusion

DESIGNING FOR A MORE EFFICIENT PRODUCTION IN

THE CITY LINE PROJECT

Continued ..... Success Factors:

Surrender meetings, where the designer presents the documents and clarify

the essential requirements and risks.

Adding a lot of energy on communicating the message of collaboration in the

mission early in the project.

The management of the assignment and the Project management must

accept the interaction message to 100%.

Collaboration efforts must support the need for production planning must be

gradually revised.

Designing has been conducted according to the “Observation method” EN

1997-1 (Eurocode 7). This approach provides maximum leverage in this

approach "design in collaboration“.
