What MONOD - PIGUET + ASSOCIES Consulting Engineers does

MONOD – PIGUET + ASSOCIES Ingénieurs Conseils SA (MPAIC) is an independent Swiss consulting engineering firm headquartered in Lausanne, delivering civil and structural engineering services across buildings, transport infrastructure, special works, and general project planning. The firm serves Swiss Federal Railways (CFF), regional railway operators (MOB, LEB, TPF, TRAVYS, MBC, MVR), cantonal and municipal authorities, healthcare institutions (CHUV, Clinique CIC Riviera), and selected private clients (Hublot, Nespresso), with one documented international engagement for RATP Paris (Metro Line 14).

The company's core technical capabilities center on BIM-enabled design delivery, advanced non-linear elasto-plastic structural calculation methods, and specialized railway and bridge engineering. MPAIC has executed signature technically complex projects including the LEB Tunnel (1,414m), the Tunnel des Gîtes, the Viaducs de Chillon (featuring the first worldwide application of 50,000 m² of BFUP ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete), and the PS du Champ des Aulx bowstring bridge (130m span, SCIA User Contest 2023 winner). The firm holds ISO 9001/14001, EcoEntreprise Excellence, and Minergie Partner certifications valid through April 2029.

MPAIC operates as a professional services firm on a project-based, quote-driven fee model, generating revenue from consulting, design, project management, and construction supervision engagements. The firm is 100% employee-owned by its cadres and collaborators and explicitly independent from banks, construction groups, and industrial conglomerates, a structural feature dating to the 2008 merger of predecessor entities SRIG-Monod and Piguet + Associés, which had collaborated since the 1980s. The firm has approximately 70+ engineers, specialists, and technical/administrative staff.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• WSP: Global professional services firm with a sizable Swiss engineering practice (including the formerly known WSP / BG Ernst / others). Competes on large multidisciplinary infrastructure mandates where MPAIC also bids.
• AFRY: European engineering and design consultancy with significant Swiss operations across transport, infrastructure and energy. Competes for major CFF and tunnel tenders but offers a much broader, multinational portfolio.

Direct peers

• Stucky: Swiss engineering consultancy specializing in dams, hydropower, transport infrastructure and tunnels. Comparable technical profile in large civil works and similar public-utility client base.
• Schlaich Bergermann Partner: Internationally renowned structural engineering consultancy specializing in bridges, lightweight and innovative structures. Comparable technical profile in advanced bridge design (e.g., bowstring, cable-stayed) and a similar high-end, design-competition-led business model.
• IUB Engineering: Bern-based Swiss engineering firm with structural and transport infrastructure capabilities, directly competing for CFF and cantonal bridge/tunnel work in the same geographies as MPAIC.
• Emch+Berger: Swiss engineering firm active in structural design, transport infrastructure, and general civil engineering. Direct competitor for CFF, cantonal and municipal infrastructure tenders in Western and Northern Switzerland.
• BG Ingénieurs Conseils: Swiss multidisciplinary engineering consultancy (part of the BG group) covering buildings, transport, environment and energy. Overlaps directly with MPAIC on railway and infrastructure projects across French-speaking Switzerland.
• Basler & Hofmann: Independent Swiss engineering consultancy with overlapping service lines in structural engineering, transport infrastructure, BIM, and environmental engineering. Comparable size, employee-ownership heritage, and Swiss public-sector client base.
• Lombardi (Pini Group): Swiss engineering consultancy headquartered in Lugano with a long heritage in tunnels, railways, hydropower and underground works. Highly comparable to MPAIC in core capability (civil/structural engineering for transport infrastructure) and primary client base (Swiss and international railway operators).

Others

• TDSport Ingénierie SA: Swiss engineering firm partnered with MPAIC since 2018 for sports facility engineering. Adjacent rather than competing; included as an ecosystem partner sharing premises and co-developing capabilities.
