| dc.description.abstract | The construction industry is attacking the challenges of the 1990's by implementing the use of a concept known as partnering. Private and public sectors alike are showing interest in the application of this concept. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) has been a leader in the public sector's partnering movement, developing and promoting a partnering program to suit their needs in the construction arena. A survey of US Army Corps of Engineer District offices will investigate how they apply partnering and compare the results to those from the recent partnering research conducted by the Construction Industry Institute's (CII) Task Force on Partnering. The results of the comparison identify some distinct differences between the CII findings in the private sector and how the Corps applies partnering. The affect of these differences does not appear to greatly influence the expectation of specific benefits for those involved in USAGE partnering. However, they do show the potential for future refinement of the current partnering program in areas such as project safety, value engineering integration and partnering evaluation programs. The results of this study should lead to further research and greater opportunities for the continuing success of partnering in the US Army Corps of Engineers. | en |
