Colsen as partner

Colsen offers different forms of cooperation:

  1. As Consultant we support in the various phases of a project. This often happens in a construction team where you continue to manage the realization of the project. Colsen performs certain tasks such as engineering, management or start-up.
  2. As supplier we supply installations as part of a project or provide you with the necessary seeding material for the start-up of your installation.
  3. As main contractor we unburden you by offering a design & construct or turn key solution. In these cases, Colsen takes responsibility for the quality, planning and costs of the project. Together with its partners, Colsen can also offer a complete unburdening (DBFO) whereby the financing and operation are carried out by our partner for a predetermined amount.
