Our competencies at a glance

Fire safety
With profound expertise and a fiery commitment, we offer our customers advice and support on both small and large-scale projects. All our efforts are geared to delivering a convincing solution that satisfies all criteria. Although a residual risk always remains, our consulting services and innovative engineering methods ensure that this remains at an acceptable level.

Energy
When it comes to hydropower plants, we don't fish in the dark. We accompany energy projects - production plants, distribution systems such as high voltage, substation and smart grid as well as strategy developments - in Switzerland and worldwide from feasibility studies to commissioning. In doing so, we always keep an eye on technical, ecological, safety-specific and business management issues.

Building services
We develop intelligent integral concepts for buildings where owners and users can feel at home. The life-cycle perspective nonetheless remains firmly in focus. Light, shade and the indoor environment are simulated before the first pipe is even laid. Architecture, structure and M&E equipment are skillfully reconciled throughout the concept, design and implementation phases. As experts in the use of geothermal energy, gas and biomass for heating, cooling and electricity generation, we are also helping to implement Switzerland’s energy strategy 2050.

General planning
In ensuring the smooth progression of design and construction, we adopt a variety of roles: as general planner / lead designer on new-build, refurbishment and alteration projects, we eliminate all interface problems in the design and production processes. At the design stage, we reconcile the demands of clients and architects. At the construction stage, we keep a tight grip on costs, deadlines and on-site workmanship.

Geotechnical engineering
The crucial parameter in foundation engineering is the condition of the subsoil, which harbors both opportunities and risks. We are extremely conscientious in seeking innovative project solutions that combine high safety standards with maximum cost-efficiency. Thanks to specialist knowledge and experience from countless civil engineering projects, we are well-equipped for every new challenge.

Infrastructure
We are at home where people move and need to be cared for. We advise our customers and plan and support them in infrastructure installations for small and large needs - at local, regional, national and international level, for public and private transportation and the supply of electricity, water, district heating, district and district cooling as well as gas.

Structural design
We develop the optimum structural solutions for buildings and bridges. With an open-minded, innovative approach to the realization of complex and creative architecture, we are your engineering partner of choice. In terms of sustainability and visual impact, our structures always deliver what is promised. And for structural maintenance and improvement schemes, we are never short of good ideas.

Spatial planning
Spatial planning faces spatial, technological, social and environmental challenges. These require both proven methods and new instruments. This is where we come in, with site developments, special use plans or master plans, right up to entire local plans. We use new technological tools, advise clients and lead participative processes for future-proof spatial structures.

Safety, Security
We help to protect infrastructure, companies and individuals while improving security at major events. Our risk analyses and assessments enable us to pinpoint hidden dangers. We partner our customers in analyzing possible solutions and put in place effective measures that prevent minor incidents from triggering major crises.

Environment
Regardless of facility type – whether for buildings, roads, tunnels, landfills or the open countryside – we provide surveys, analyses and counselling, and develop comprehensive solutions for our customers’ projects. Our sound decision support maximizes the benefits for the environment and humankind – in the near future and for generations to come.
