What we do
Tunnels, underground works, and geotechnics
Backed by decades of experience and highly skilled professionals, we provide specialized engineering services for tunnels, general underground works, injection treatments, and geotechnics. We deliver innovative and efficient solutions tailored to various implementation phases and soil types, from conception to operation and maintenance of the projects.
Transport Infrastructure
We design efficient and sustainable transport infrastructure that meets the growing demands of modern mobility. We develop civil works for roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, and metros, connecting key points for the development and territorial cohesion of the countries where we operate. Our designs are future-oriented, with a focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Hydropower and multipurpose projects
We strive to achieve the efficient use of water resources and renewable energies provided by nature, by developing hydropower projects, multipurpose infrastructure, irrigation works, and potable water supply. Our multidisciplinary team focuses on turning water, an essential resource, into a strategic ally for territorial development, creating conditions for an improved quality of life.
Competences
Conventional and TBM tunnelling
Conventional and TBM tunnelling
Our core competence builds on the great Swiss tunnelling heritage. Risk management in tunneling starts with the systematic analysis of the geological and hydrogeological fundamentals, which leads to the detailed representation of ground models (Baugrundmodelle). The relevant hazards (Gefährdungsbilder) can be easily identified on the basis of the ground models and possible concepts for measures can be than drawn up. This systematic approach leads to a robust excavation design even under the most difficult conditions in coventional or mechanized excavation.
Cavern and shaft construction
Cavern and shaft construction
The subsurface is gaining more and more importance for large and often complex underground facilities, be it for hydropower plants or research facilities. For the design of caverns with large heights and widths, as well as deep shafts, the detailed study of geotechnical conditions and a deep understanding of the principles of rock mechanics are indispensable.
Water transfer systems and pumping stations
Water transfer systems and pumping stations
Our competences include water transfer systems and pumping stations, crucial components in effective water resource management. With our involvement in major water supply projects, such as the ongoing Upper Wawa pumping station project, delivering potable water to the citizens of Manila in the Philippines, we understand the critical role these systems play in ensuring access to clean and reliable water. We offer end-to-end solutions, from design to construction and commissioning supervision.
Green Energy
Green Energy
During that past years we were able to consolidate our expertise in different types of renewable project other than hydropower. In Switzerland we were able to contribute to important flagship solar projects such as the largest solar park at Muttsee dam and the on-going Lac des Toules solar floating project.
Sustainability & Life Cycle Management Advisory
Sustainability & Life Cycle Management Advisory
Sustainability & Life Cycle Management (LCM) means innovation through sharing. From Conceptual Studies up to civil work obsolescence, we integrate peoples, data and processes to bring innovation and sustainability and create valuable intellectual capital, throughout the whole life cycle.
Bridges
Bridges
Bridges aren't just structures. They're the embodiment of people connection, architecture and engineering artistry, innovation. We provide expertise and passion in bridge crafting, without adjusting to homologation processes but considering that each bridge is in some sense a prototype, which will coexist with future generations.
