Tscherning

Tscherning is a Danish contractor operating in civil engineering (anlæg) and demolition (nedrivning), headquartered in Hedehusene, Denmark. The company traces its origins to 1975, when Georg Tscherning bought his first excavator, and was formally founded in 1977. For its first 18 years the business consisted mainly of renting out construction machinery. During the 1990s the focus shifted first to demolition and later to civil engineering. Today the company is owned by Georg's son, Søren Tscherning, and in 2023 it reported 371 employees and annual revenue of DKK 821 million. Tscherning offers a broad range of services. On the civil engineering side these include site preparation and land development (byggemodning), climate adaptation and local rainwater management (LAR), utility supply and charging infrastructure, renovation and service work, specialised concrete work, and land surveying. On the demolition side the company provides environmental remediation, interior clearance, cutting and renovation, total demolition, and selective demolition with a strong emphasis on reuse and recycling. Tscherning describes itself as always being at the forefront of selective demolition and reuse, and its headquarters, Tscherninghuset, is a prize-winning building constructed from recycled materials. The company positions itself around responsibility and sustainability. Its stated mission covers responsible use of resources, environmental and nature stewardship, social responsibility, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It maintains its own quality, environment and occupational health and safety (KMA) department and states that it is one of the leading companies in quality, environment and working environment certification. It also operates a whistleblower scheme. Tscherning is organised as the Tscherning Group (Tscherning Gruppen), comprising companies with their own specialisms but a shared mission. The group remains privately held and family-owned, with Søren Tscherning as owner. Its services are delivered primarily in the Danish market.
