DBFM Contract HSL SouthWhat is success?
• When the key requirements of the contract are met• When the milestones are accomplished• When the consortium accomplishes its commercial
objectives• When the public as well as the private stakeholder are
satisfied• When the image is positive

DBFM Contract HSL South
Contract form and risk sharing• Tight time schedule (as a result of the financing
construction) with difficult delivery of the substructure• Delivery milestone on which 100% validation and
conformity with the requirements had to be shown• Role of the system integrator only included by the state
after the delivery• Unclear requirements and standardisation imposed on the
safety case
1617 – 19 March 2008
DBFM Contract HSL SouthCooperation and culture
• Eventually confidence appeared to be the most important foundation
• The English language was sometimes difficult when it came to communication and understanding each other’s position
• Cooperation between the various cultures went well

thanks to cooperation based on confidence and respect for each other’s position an available railway line could be delivered in time as a result of which the exploitation of the high speed traffic can start as of the end of 2008
