Lombardi Engineering Group

What Lombardi Engineering Group does

Lombardi Engineering Group (legal entity Lombardi SA Ingegneri Consulenti) is an independent, employee-owned Swiss engineering consultancy founded in 1955 and headquartered in Bellinzona-Giubiasco, Ticino. The firm provides multidisciplinary customized engineering services spanning the full infrastructure project lifecycle — from preliminary studies and feasibility through final design, tendering, detail design, construction supervision, and commissioning — for transport, underground, water, and renewable energy assets. Its core practice areas are tunneling and underground works, hydroelectric/pumped storage and dam engineering, and technical consulting, with a horizontal segmentation approach serving both public sector clients (e.g., Swiss Federal Railways/SBB, FEDRO/ASTRA) and private investors across 14 countries and 21 offices in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.

The firm operates a global network of offices anchored in Switzerland (Giubiasco, Rotkreuz, Lausanne, Martigny, Fribourg), with international presence in Italy (Milan, Rome, Turin), France (Paris, Lyon, Marseille), Austria (Innsbruck), Belgium (Brussels), and 8 Americas/APAC locations including a Brisbane office opened in April 2024. Lombardi's technology stack centers on BIM and Digital Twin methodologies using open IFC standards, complemented by two proprietary software products: MIC, a SaaS structural monitoring platform with over 40 years of deployment on dams, tunnels, and bridges; and SISO, an all-in-one construction project management platform launched in February 2024.

Lombardi generates revenue through professional services on a project-by-project basis via direct client engagement, typically as lead planner or consortium member on mega-projects. It is sales-led with no public pricing disclosed; notable flagship engagements include the Gotthard Second Tube, the Brenner Base Tunnel (64 km, the world's longest underground railway tunnel), the Ritom pumped storage plant, the Arenal arch-gravity RCC dam in Honduras (62 MW), Switzerland's largest alpine solar plant (AlpinSolar), and a feasibility study for the Einstein Telescope gravitational-wave observatory. The company maintains full independence from external investors, with regional offices run by engineer-directors, and pursues international projects through cross-office mobility and direct relationships with both government clients and private infrastructure owners.
