Title:	Tunnel projects require cooperation / Tunnelprojekte brauchen Kooperation
Abstract:	A high degree of cooperation is necessary on every tunnel project. Scarcely any other branch of construction is faced with similar rapidly changing problems. The constantly changing properties of the ground demand the greatest attention and flexibility from all parties. Despite the differing initial positions of the interest groups involved, they have to overcome the complex tasks together. Increasing technical requirements of the project parties are in contrast with the increasing expectations of external stakeholders outside the project. Ever more complicated and extensive contract documents hinder rapid solutions on site for the benefit of the project and lead to a certain loss of ability by the site staff in making appropriate decisions. This unsatisfactory situation can only be countered with mutual understanding and cooperation based on trust. Bei jedem Tunnelprojekt ist ein hohes Maß an Kooperation erforderlich. Kaum eine andere Bausparte wird mit ähnlichen rasch wechselnden Problemen konfrontiert. Die ständig wechselnde Beschaffenheit des Baugrunds fordert von allen Beteiligten höchste Aufmerksamkeit und hohe Flexibilität. Trotz unterschiedlicher Ausgangspositionen der beteiligten Interessensgruppen ist die gemeinsame Bewältigung der komplexen Aufgabe vorgegeben. Steigende fachliche Anforderungen an die Projektbeteiligten stehen den steigenden Erwartungshaltungen projektferner Stakeholder gegenüber. Immer komplizierter und umfangreicher werdende Vertragswerke erschweren rasche und projektgerechte Lösungen von Problemen vor Ort und führen zu einer gewissen Entmündigung des Baustellenpersonals. Diesem unbefriedigenden Zustand kann nur durch eine von gegenseitigem Verständnis und Vertrauen getragene Kooperation begegnet werden.
