RAMPA Travaux Publics

What RAMPA Travaux Publics does

RAMPA Travaux Publics is the hydraulic operating branch of Groupe RAMPA, a privately held French civil engineering firm founded in 1925 and now in its fourth generation of family ownership. The company specializes in the construction and rehabilitation of water infrastructure across six service lines: potable water distribution networks, irrigation networks, gravity networks for wastewater and stormwater (up to Ø2200 diameter), hydroelectricity and industrial pipework (forced pipelines up to 80 bars), environmental and river engineering works, and pumping station services delivered through subsidiary Pompage Rhône-Alpes.

Service delivery is supported by an in-house study bureau equipped with CAO/DAO hydraulic network design, 3D project simulation, smartphone-based georeferencing for open-trench networks, and drone photogrammetry for terrain modeling. The firm is qualified to work with the full range of pipe materials (cast iron, steel, PVC, PEHD, PRV, concrete, stoneware) and operates seven regional agencies across the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, PACA, and Occitanie regions, with project capability extending into the Paris region. Approximately 2 million euros is invested annually in equipment to maintain technical capability.

Revenue is generated almost entirely on a project-based B2B model through public procurement contracts with municipal and governmental clients (collectivités, communal syndicats) and direct private contracts with energy and industrial customers including EDF, SCP, HYDROWATT, and beverage manufacturers such as ORANGINA. Disclosed annual revenue stands at approximately 75 million euros with 300+ employees. The wider Groupe RAMPA encompasses roughly ten subsidiaries (water, energy, prefabrication, recycling, real estate) with over 450 employees, positioning RAMPA Travaux Publics as a regionally dominant, vertically diversified hydraulic contractor in southeastern France.

Core offering

RAMPA Travaux Publics is a civil engineering and construction firm specializing in water infrastructure networks. The company builds and rehabilitates drinking water distribution networks, irrigation networks, gravity networks for wastewater and stormwater, high-pressure forced pipelines for hydroelectricity and industry (up to 80 bars), environmental river works, and district heating networks. Services are delivered to public collectivities, industrial companies, and engineering consultancies across southeastern France.

Product overview

RAMPA Travaux Publics operates as a civil engineering firm offering specialized water infrastructure services through six interconnected core offerings: drinking water distribution networks, irrigation networks, gravity networks (wastewater/stormwater), hydroelectricity and industrial piping, environmental works (river engineering and district heating), and pumping services. The company also maintains a technical study bureau providing CAO/DAO design, 3D project simulation, drone photogrammetry, and georeferencing capabilities. Within the RAMPA Group structure, RAMPA TP (the hydraulic branch) benefits from complementary subsidiaries including Pompage Rhône-Alpes for electromechanics, RAMPA Energies for dry networks, and RAMPA Réalisations for land development, enabling comprehensive water and environmental infrastructure solutions.

Direct peers

• Hydrostadium (EDF subsidiary): Hydrostadium is the EDF subsidiary dedicated to small and mid-sized hydroelectric installations, including forced pipelines and penstocks in the same pressure range that RAMPA TP's Grenoble agency specializes in (up to 80 bars). Direct counterpart in the French high-pressure hydro-pipeline market and a logical partner-or-competitor on EDF's run-of-river and refurbishment projects.
• Eiffage Travaux Publics: Eiffage's Travaux Publics division constructs water and sanitation networks, hydraulic infrastructure, and environmental works across France. Direct competitor for French public water tenders, with significantly greater scale, broader geographic coverage, and integrated concessions capabilities.
• SADE (Compagnie Générale de Travaux d'Hydraulique): SADE is a leading French contractor specializing in the construction and rehabilitation of water, sewer, and gas networks, serving municipalities, public utilities, and industrial clients. It is the closest direct competitor to RAMPA TP in the French water-pipeline construction market, with overlapping service lines (drinking water, wastewater, irrigation) and similar reliance on public procurement.
• Sogea (VINCI Construction): Sogea, part of VINCI Construction, executes hydraulic, water-network, and civil engineering projects for municipalities and industry in France. Closely comparable service portfolio (drinking water, wastewater, river works), with substantially greater resources and access to VINCI's broader concessions and energy businesses.
• Colas (Bouygues): Colas, a Bouygues subsidiary, has a dedicated water and pipeline activity that builds drinking water, sewer, and stormwater networks for French municipalities. Direct overlap with RAMPA TP on public water tenders; Colas's road-construction backbone provides cross-sell and nationwide reach that RAMPA TP lacks.
• NGE (Nouvelles Générations d'Entrepreneurs): NGE is a major French construction group with a dedicated Génie Civil et Hydraulique division that builds water, sewer, and environmental infrastructure for public and private clients. Comparable in customer base (collectivités, industrial clients) and service offering, but materially larger and more geographically diversified than RAMPA TP.
• SPIE CityNetworks: SPIE CityNetworks, the local-authority-focused arm of SPIE, designs and builds water, energy, and digital infrastructure for French municipalities and utilities. Comparable in customer type (collectivités) and increasingly so in water-network construction, with SPIE's national service network giving it a structural scale advantage.

Broad incumbents

• Saur: Saur is one of France's three largest water-service operators, managing delegated water and wastewater contracts and directly executing related construction and maintenance. While primarily a utility/operator, Saur performs in-house pipeline construction and represents both a customer and a competitor for water-network build-out work in RAMPA TP's regions.
• Suez (Water Infrastructure): Suez, alongside its water-utility concessions, undertakes design-build and rehabilitation of water and wastewater networks for industrial and municipal clients. Comparable infrastructure construction capabilities, though Suez's primary identity is as a global water services group rather than a regional construction specialist.
• Veolia Water Technologies & Infrastructure: Veolia is the largest global water-services group and, through its water-infrastructure and OTV treatment business, executes municipal and industrial pipeline and plant projects. Substantially larger and more diversified than RAMPA TP, but overlapping in the construction and modernization of water networks, particularly in the public sector.
