Lombardi

What Lombardi does

Lombardi Group is a privately held engineering consulting firm headquartered in Fribourg, Switzerland, founded in 1955. The firm provides multidisciplinary, customized engineering services covering the complete project life cycle — from feasibility and design through construction oversight and life-cycle management — for transport, underground/tunneling, water infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. It serves both private-sector companies and public-sector clients across 15 countries spanning Europe (Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy), the Americas (Argentina, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru), and Asia-Pacific (Australia, India), and has continued to expand its geographic footprint, opening a Brisbane office in April 2024.

The company's solutions are organized around three pillars: Underground & Tunneling, Energy & Water, and Technical Expertise & Consulting. Lombardi has increasingly productized elements of its delivery through internally developed tools, including SISO (an all-in-one project management platform for construction projects, launched February 2024), MIC (a streamlined monitoring system for structural safety, launched October 2023), and published BIM Model Requirements that standardize digital engineering transformation across projects. Signature engagements include the Gotthard Second Tube, Schwamendingen Noise Protection Enclosure, Arenal arch dam in Honduras, Zimmerberg-Base Tunnel 2, and a feasibility study for the Einstein Telescope.

The business model is professional services: Lombardi earns revenue from project-based engineering consulting engagements and does not publicly disclose pricing or contract values. Services are tailored to each client and sold directly through enterprise field-sales relationships with both public agencies and private operators. Under the leadership of President Michele Fumagalli, the firm has articulated a strategic emphasis on sustainability, establishing an internal center of expertise in that area, and on digitalization as core delivery differentiators.
