LUCCHINI & CANEPA INGEGNERIA SA

The services provided by Lucchini & Canepa Ingegneria SA range over the various sectors of civil, rural and environmental engineering. In particular, thanks to both private and public clients, the firm has been able to design and build aqueducts, make watercourses safer and more natural, plan and solve water disposal problems, improve waste management, prepare expert reports and consultancy, and build roads, car parks and traffic calming works. In addition, we assist municipalities in drawing up master plans and issuing building permits as a technical office.

In the structural sector, we collaborate with clients and architects in the construction of public and private buildings, industrial buildings, special foundation works, groundwater works and the support of excavation pits. The conservation and restoration of structural works is also an area of activity.

Consultancy, feasibility studies, planning, design (preliminary, final and executive), documentation for tenders, deliberation reports, settlements, general and local management of works are offered and taken on.
