Runge AG

Runge AG Ingenieure und Planer was founded in Glarus in 1933 and has developed into an innovative planning, project management, and consulting company in German-speaking Switzerland. The company serves private and public building owners with expertise in building construction, civil engineering, hydroelectric power plant construction, photovoltaics, general civil engineering, and project and site development. In everything we do, we value professionalism, quality, cost-effectiveness, innovation, and sustainability. We care about the environment and stand out thanks to one of our core competencies in renewable energies. That is why we offer comprehensive solutions that conserve existing resources and are characterized by energy efficiency. Our range of services covers all project phases from project study to commissioning. We plan new buildings, conversions, and repairs for private and public building owners and also advise you on fire protection issues. Our range of services covers all project phases from project study to commissioning. Our diverse and highly qualified team guarantees consistent project management and implementation. Our civil engineers/construction managers and draftsmen/design engineers use their experience and innovative approaches to help you find the most economical solution at an early stage of the project. Professional competence, independent action, and close customer contact are a matter of course for us.

Structural engineering

Many years of experience and in-depth expertise enable us to plan and execute a wide variety of structures in concrete, steel, or wood—and, of course, combinations thereof. We place great importance on resource-saving, innovative, and future-oriented solutions. Our expertise includes project planning in the areas of geotechnics and fire protection, as well as the assessment of the earthquake safety of structures. We handle new builds and renovations for you, carry out condition assessments, and plan the refurbishment and repair of structures.

Project planning

It always starts with a vision or an idea. The challenge is to develop a strategy for its implementation. We support our clients, who often lack the necessary resources, in this process and provide them with an outside perspective on their questions and ideas. Builders benefit from our employees' many years of experience in project development. We identify areas where action is needed and propose solution strategies, advise on decisions, and develop concepts.

BIM

The digitalization of the construction industry is having an enormous impact on processes and collaboration between stakeholders. As part of our comprehensive digitalization strategy, we consistently rely on BIM planning. We advise you on which BIM method is best suited to your construction project. In doing so, we take into account the entire life cycle of the building. This enables us to offer you optimal solutions from the definition of objectives to planning and implementation to operation.

Civil engineering / Infrastructure construction

As overall project managers, we plan civil engineering structures such as bridges, retaining walls, and other engineering structures for you. These range from smaller retaining structures to sophisticated bridge structures. We support your project in all phases: from the initial project idea in the preliminary study, through the approval process, to implementation. In the field of infrastructure construction, we often work on road construction projects related to engineering structures or independent projects in utility line construction. Overall project management for the construction of cable car systems is also part of our expertise in this area. Integral thinking that takes into account the interests of all parties involved—the key to project success—is a matter of course for us. Whatever we do for you, a holistic approach and way of thinking is a matter of course for us.

Hydropower plant construction

The hydropower plant construction division is involved in the project planning of small to medium-sized hydropower plants in all phases of project implementation, both for new constructions and for the renovation of existing plants. From the initial preliminary study to commissioning, our highly motivated, innovative team of engineers offers you comprehensive services. Efficiency, sustainability, and robustness are our guiding principles. Our expanded team, consisting of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers, looks forward to developing and executing exceptional projects within budget. If desired, we can also implement turnkey power plant systems for you as a total contractor. Benefit from our extensive experience—including as a plant operator—and leave all interface problems to a professional overall manager.
