Ingesa

What Ingesa does

Ingesa AG is a privately held Swiss professional services firm headquartered in Seuzach, Canton of Zürich, founded in 2012 and operating across four regional offices (Seuzach, Andelfingen, Elgg, Wetzikon) in the Zürich/Thurgau region. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of geomatics, geoinformation, civil engineering, municipal engineering, and spatial/transportation planning services, with a primary client base of Swiss municipalities — over 60 of which rely on Ingesa for standardized SIA 405 utility infrastructure data management.

The firm's core technology stack combines traditional surveying instrumentation (WingtraOne drone photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning, GNSS positioning, total stations, levelling instruments) with geotechnical sensing systems (strain gauges, force transducers, tilt sensors, inclinometers, pressure/piezo sensors, fiber-optic monitoring) and WebGIS platforms for data delivery. Specialized capabilities include geomonitoring for construction sites, tunnels, bridges, and dams with automated threshold alarms; 3D building and terrain surveys producing point clouds and machine-control-ready data; and BIM-enabled infrastructure planning. Ingesa is one of only seven Katasterbewirtschafter-Organisationen (KBO) authorized by Canton of Zürich to maintain the ÖREB-Kataster — the official cadastral registry of public-law restrictions on property ownership — giving the firm a formally recognized regulatory position in municipal cadastral services.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services: revenue is generated through project-based engineering, surveying, geoinformation, and consulting engagements, priced via quote on a per-project basis with no published rate cards. Sales are direct to municipal administrations, cantonal authorities (notably ARE, AWEL, and ALN), private developers, and construction firms, with go-to-market driven by direct engagement, referrals, and presence at industry events such as Baufest. Customer concentration is high in the Swiss public sector, and the firm has no disclosed funding events, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities.
