A GROUP...
AND A PHILOSOPHY
Building a better and sustainable living
environment is not only the BG Consult-
ing Engineer’s daily mission; it is also its
philosophy.
The “ living environment ” means our
planet. The BG group is constantly in-
novating to develop solutions that will
help its clients complete projects that
optimally fit their natural environment.
The “ living environment ” means soci-
ety. As a fully independent firm that is
keenly aware of its responsibilities as
an expert, the BG group participates
in public discussion, advises authorities,
and supports research.
The “ living environment ” also means
people. The BG group promotes ethics
and transparency with its clients, and
offers an exemplary work environment
for its employees.
ACCLAIMED EXPERTISE
SERVING ALL BUILDERS
Hundreds of engineers strong, the BG group offers acknowl-
edged, exceptional expertise in infrastructure, construction,
environment and energy. It supports clients around the world
in the areas of planning, development and assessment, to help
them create a more sustainable living environment.
The development of our societies is giving
rise to increasingly far-reaching problems,
including population growth, urbanisation,
energy and mobility needs, pressure on
natural resources and land, growing natural
and anthropic risk, and infrastructure obso-
lescence. Finding clear answers to these
problems requires a systemic approach,
multidisciplinary expertise, creativity, and
the knowhow required to handle complex-
ity–all qualities that have helped establish
the BG group’s reputation.
The Group was founded in Lausanne in
1954. While today it is an international
player with several hundred employees,
its mission has never changed : it seeks to
provide top quality engineering services for
its clients.
THE LATEST EXPERTISE
To keep this promise, the Group has de-
veloped a unique relationship with cutting-
edge research. Scientific partnerships have
been forged with higher-education institu-
tions : some employees hold professorships
and serve on committees and juries. The
Group also very actively encourages re-
search in sustainable development.
The BG group’s reason for expanding over
the years was not to become more pow-
erful, but rather to extend and refine the
scope of its expertise even further. Today,
it is pleased to be able to offer clients its
knowledged exceptional expertise cover-
ing all aspects of sustainable construction :
infrastructure, construction, environment,
and energy. From planning through safety
studies to owner’s assistance, the Group
can help with every stage of your project.
The choice is yours.
SERVING EVERYONE
Regardless of the type of project under-
taken–whether a wastewater treatment
plant, bridge, tunnel, industrial complex or
rail junction–it is not size that motivates
the BG group, but complexity. That also
explains why the Group’s clientele is so ex-
tremely diverse. Among its clients are local,
regional and national governments; public
authorities and companies; private promot-
ers; and even large industrial concerns. For
each of them, the Group creates solutions
that are not only effective and creative,
but also a perfect fit. When it comes to a
sustainable living environment, no project is
too small. The BG group wants to help eve-
ryone who contributes to such endeavours.

The BG group is based in Lausanne and has
branches elsewhere in Switzerland, as well
as in France and Algeria. But its services
know no borders : it accompagny its clients
wherever their projects may take them.
