A critical role in all infrastructure

Ground Engineering Expertise for Infrastructure Projects

Infrastructure sits at the heart of how society functions, from bridges and transport corridors to water treatment facilities, marine structures, tunnels and major civil engineering works. Aarsleff’s work is a fundamental component of infrastructure and building projects, including work for tunnel and underground structures, bridges, buildings, transit and rail facilities, embankment support, marine and offshore facilities, mines, airports, water projects, and energy facilities.

Technically innovative solutions

Innovative, Trusted Solutions from Aarsleff

Over many years, the Aarsleff team has built a strong reputation for expertise and integrity, providing technically innovative solutions to civil engineering foundation challenges. For example, Aarsleff’s precast concrete piles generate no spoil during installation, reducing vehicle movements to and from the site. On urban brownfield sites, in particular, this approach also eliminates hazardous waste disposal.

Aarsleff’s areas of involvement include road construction, water treatment facilities, canals, coastal protection, and major rail projects such as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, where the company manufactured and installed hundreds of 600 mm square precast concrete piles, the only project of its type in Europe.

Our engineers welcome the chance to work with project designers from the early stages to ensure a value-engineered option that delivers optimal performance to meet design load demands and programme requirements. Aarsleff provides its clients with a comprehensive range of specialist geotechnical services required to support the planning, design, and implementation of ground engineering projects, as well as to manage the ground risks associated with all infrastructure projects.

Our Services

Infrastructure projects involve a wide range of civil engineering works, from bridges and highways to water treatment facilities and public buildings. Aarsleff provides ground engineering solutions that support safe, efficient and long-lasting infrastructure delivery.

Foundations for Civil Engineering Structures

We deliver reliable foundation systems for major civil assets, including bridges, tunnels, water facilities, transport hubs, and public buildings. Our techniques include:

These solutions offer predictable performance for structures central to national and local infrastructure.

Earth Retention and Slope Stabilisation

Infrastructure schemes often require engineered solutions to manage ground levels, protect excavations and stabilise embankments. We can provide:

These systems support highway improvements, route realignments, watercourse structures and urban construction.

Temporary Works and Ground Support

Complex civil projects rely on safe access and stable working environments. Aarsleff delivers:

These services help keep programmes on track in challenging ground or access conditions.
