About us
The Civil Engineering Office works to provide a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly cantonal road network to people. This covers all aspects of modern road construction, from the actual road to the civil engineering structures (tunnels, bridges, retaining walls, culverts, etc.), the operational and safety equipment (pumping stations, traffic lights, control centers, etc.) on the road, and noise control and road wastewater disposal. We also take care of the road upkeep, which includes maintaining landscaped areas and snow removal. We are committed to promoting biodiversity along roads and waterbodies and are also in charge of creating an attractive network of cycling routes.
Additionally, we ensure that our waterbodies are flood-proof and near-natural, and we prioritize the revitalization and the protection of reed bed areas.
Finally and most importantly, we are dedicated to implementing our projects using a significant amount of recycled or natural materials wherever possible.
