Infrastrukturverträge

Infrastrukturverträge are legal agreements that govern the planning, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure projects. These projects can range from transportation networks like roads, railways, and airports to utilities such as water supply, sewage systems, and energy grids, as well as telecommunications and social infrastructure like schools and hospitals. The primary purpose of these contracts is to allocate risks and responsibilities among the various parties involved, which often include public entities, private investors, construction companies, and operators.

These contracts are crucial for the successful realization of large-scale, complex projects that typically require significant capital investment and long-term commitment. They aim to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. Infrastrukturverträge often incorporate detailed specifications, performance metrics, and mechanisms for dispute resolution. Common contractual models include Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT), and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). The specific terms and conditions vary widely depending on the project type, the legal framework of the jurisdiction, and the agreed-upon risk allocation. They are essential tools for facilitating private sector involvement in public infrastructure development.
