Straub Vermessungen Ag

What Straub Vermessungen Ag does

Straub Vermessungen AG is a Swiss specialized surveying company headquartered in Baden and operating as a subsidiary of the Steinmann Group. The firm delivers geodetic monitoring, construction surveying, railway surveying, industrial surveying, water body surveying, 3D documentation, baseline surveying, drone-based aerial surveying, and evidence documentation services to government agencies and infrastructure operators across Switzerland and on selected international projects. Its primary client base includes federal and cantonal authorities (BAFU, ASTRA, Kanton Aargau), energy and infrastructure operators (AET, Swissgas, Kraftwerk Reckingen, Alpiq, Axpo, SBB), and construction companies (Eberhard Bau AG).

The technology stack combines conventional high-precision geodetic instrumentation (GNSS, total stations/tachymeters, levelling instruments, single-beam echo sounding) with drone-based aerial surveying and a proprietary GEOvis web platform for visualization and alerting of monitoring data. ISO 9001 certification is in place, and the company participates in specialized industry events such as Terra Solid and ETH Zürich career fairs. Service delivery is anchored in regulatory and safety-critical use cases, including mandatory 5-year dam inspections, river monitoring campaigns (BAFU program 2023-2027), and infrastructure deformation monitoring for energy and transport clients.

The business model is project-based professional services. Revenue is generated through direct client engagement and public procurement for complex infrastructure measurement and monitoring mandates in Switzerland and selectively abroad. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are project-specific depending on scope, complexity, and technology requirements. The company was founded in 1989 and recently relocated (May 2026) to shared Steinmann Group offices at Rütistrasse 2 in Baden, co-located with sister entities including Steinmann Ingenieur Geometer AG, Steinmann Ingenieure und Planer AG, and Relis AG to enable interdisciplinary collaboration.

Direct peers

• IUB Engineering AG: Bern-based Swiss engineering firm offering surveying, geomonitoring, and infrastructure services. Directly comparable in scale and service mix to Straub for civil infrastructure and water-related projects.
• Holinger AG: Swiss engineering firm with infrastructure, water, and environmental monitoring practices. Overlaps with Straub in dam, river, and infrastructure surveying for municipal and federal clients across Switzerland.
• Geotest AG: Swiss geotechnical and surveying firm providing deformation monitoring, geodetic surveys, and infrastructure inspection. Comparable niche focus on monitoring precision services for infrastructure clients.
• Bernhard + Partner AG (B+S): Swiss surveying and engineering firm offering geodetic monitoring, deformation measurement, and infrastructure surveying. Comparable service portfolio and client profile to Straub in the Swiss market.
• Steinmann Ingenieur Geometer AG: Sister company within the Steinmann Group, also based in Baden. Provides official surveying (amtliche Vermessung) for the Bezirk Baden and other cadastral/geomatics services, sharing Straub's institutional client base and Swiss regulatory expertise.
• Pin I Gruppe SA: Swiss surveying firm with complementary terrestrial surveying capabilities; contracted Straub for hydrographic (singlebeam echo sounding) components on the Rhone Düker project, indicating close service-area overlap.

Others

• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Primary equipment and software vendor to Straub for GNSS, total stations, and monitoring instruments. Not a service competitor, but defines the technology stack on which Straub's precision work depends.
• Swisstopo: Swiss Federal Office of Topography, the national authority on official surveying and geodata. Functions as a regulator, data provider, and occasional client/collaborator for high-precision surveying firms like Straub.
• Trimble Inc. Global surveying technology vendor providing GNSS, monitoring, and geospatial software used across the surveying industry. Indirect competitor via adjacent ecosystem and direct technology supplier.

Broad incumbents

• AFRY Switzerland: Swiss arm of the large Nordic engineering group (formerly Pöyry). Operates a much broader infrastructure and energy portfolio, competing with Straub on large dam, rail, and hydro monitoring mandates as part of wider engineering programs.
