Building Solid Partnerships

At Aarsleff, we believe soil stabilisation and ground improvement are crucial aspects of almost all construction projects. Ground engineering works to stabilise the ground to ensure it’s safe to build structures on it. To achieve optimal stabilisation, an experienced contractor is required. Aarsleff is a leading ground engineering contractor and a division of the Danish civil engineering company, Per Aarsleff A/S.

Since its establishment in 1991, Aarsleff has grown rapidly to become one of Europe’s most trusted and experienced ground engineering contractors. From slope stabilisation to multi-million projects, Aarsleff has built solid partnerships with clients while delivering ground engineering solutions with safety and efficiency in mind.
