What Her-Huyl Génie Civil Sa does

Her-Huyl Génie Civil SA is a privately held Swiss civil engineering contractor headquartered in Aclens, Canton of Vaud, founded in 2013 and operating with a small core team of 6 employees. The company delivers underground infrastructure and site civil works across three customer verticals: municipalities and public institutions (Collectivités), telecommunications operators (Télécoms et réseau), and private individuals (Particuliers) in the Suisse Romande region. Named reference clients include Ville de Lausanne, Service de l'eau de Lausanne, Services Industriels de Lausanne (SiL), Commune de Pully, Commune de Gland, SIE SA, and TVT, with the company reporting over 1,500 construction projects completed cumulatively.

The service portfolio spans terrassements (excavation), canalisations (stormwater and wastewater collector installation and renovation), pose de collecteurs, enrochements (rockwork and slope stabilization), sondages (geotechnical drilling), travaux en rivière (river engineering), aménagements extérieurs (access paths, retaining walls, parking structures), district heating network installation, road resurfacing, and telecom infrastructure including tower foundations, waveguide bridges, shelter construction and dismantling, and tower maintenance. A 24/7 emergency intervention service covers electrical failures, gas leaks, and water leaks for municipalities. The firm is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified (via SQS and IQNet), is a signatory to the Suva safety charter, and is a member of the Fédération vaudoise des entrepreneurs and a recognized Swiss vocational training company.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts quoted individually by scope and complexity, with no recurring SaaS or subscription component. Go-to-market is direct: customers engage via phone, email, and field outreach, with brand presence through a company website, LinkedIn, and Instagram. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and operates exclusively within the Canton of Vaud / Suisse Romande geography. Recent strategic activity has been limited to regional sports sponsorships (FC Lausanne-Sport, LUC Floorball Epalinges), a humanitarian partnership (UDA Badja), and a 2024 social-employment collaboration with the Vaud Office of Invalidity Insurance.
