Structural engineering

Structural engineering is the original core competence of Bergmeister and was the initial starting point for our success and growth as a company. This is based on the idea that – wherever the spatial structure is an integral component of the supporting structure – support structures also fulfill structural demands. We activate the static-constructive functions of the components and thus base our decision-making on sustainable, economic, and efficient construction with the appropriate materials.

architecture engineering

environmental & mobility engineering

We offer a wide portfolio of competences: From our specialization in the field of road construction and hydraulic engineering, all the way up to modern infrastructural planning, e.g., glass fiber networks. Our range of services includes studies, Environmental Impact Assessments, planning, and construction supervision for projects in the areas of traffic infrastructure, hydraulic engineering, and the environment. Our interdisciplinary know-how in the various areas of civil engineering and the integration of planning sequences within the company yields significant synergies.

Bridge & tunnel engineering

Our basic attitude on the function and esthetic qualities of materials plays an especially big role in bridge construction. We elaborate concepts and also entire construction projects: From site planning and structural engineering, pre-dimensioning, to stability certification, all the way up to constructive design and construction management. Besides new planning, we also plan refurbishment and conservation measures for existent bridges.

Complex tunnel construction and geotechnical works include underground civil engineering for special structures and tunnel construction. We plan both open constructional projects and cut-and-cover projects and are also experts in the entire field of underground construction. In this context, we have experience both in conventional tunnel construction for passages, shafts, caverns, roadway / railroad tunnels and in the area of mechanical excavation methods. We measure the tunnel lining and conduct safety analyses. During the execution phase, we handle construction supervision, construction consulting, construction and contract management, planning costs and timetables, construction invoicing, and follow-up management.

Energy engineering

As modern engineers, we also view the responsible use of energy as one of our core responsibilities. This requires expertise in energy management in all its facets. At our headquarters in Vahrn/Brixen, we design and plan systems for alternative energy sources, comprehensively optimize combined heat and power plants, and carry out research projects.

In addition, our experienced building services engineering experts design high-quality and efficient building services systems—from the initial concept through to detailed implementation.

Electrical engineering

The Electrical Engineering Competence Center specializes in professional electrical design and the efficient, safe, and sustainable optimization of building and facility systems. We develop modern electrical engineering solutions for commercial, industrial, and hotel buildings, residential structures, and public infrastructure such as street and tunnel lighting or traffic control systems. Using innovative technologies and smart energy concepts, we ensure high energy efficiency, operational reliability, and cost-effective utilization. We also support the implementation of renewable energy, particularly through the integration of photovoltaic and wind power systems. With technical expertise and extensive project experience, we guide building owners, companies, and public institutions through all phases of electrical planning. Our Competence Center manages projects throughout the region and has offices in Vahrn/Brixen, Bruneck, and Bozen.

Safety & fire safety engineering

Our specialized work group assumes responsibility for interdisciplinary planning and coordination for building site safety (Legislative Decree 81/2008). We are thus always completely up to date with respect to statutory regulations and technology. Our portfolio of services extends from designing monitoring and safety during the planning phase, carrying out inspections, monitoring, all the way up to overall safety coordination during the execution phase. For fire-protection planning, we elaborate fire-protection designs and plan all the constructive fire protection.

Research & development

The future is made of ideas. In order to work together in shaping the future, we act as the link between business and research. Our relations with the most-varied of research institutes and universities enable us to supply our clients with innovative and creative solutions to the kinds of challenges encountered across the entire range of engineering projects. Through our work in international and local research projects and our close contact with the responsible government agencies, we support our clients in dealing with the technical and formal aspects of R&D projects.

Furthermore, Bergmeister thus promotes the continuing training of its workers and – in cooperation with higher institutes of learning – innovation in its own areas of activities.

In cooperation with university and private R&D institutes, a team of highly specialized engineers elaborate tailor-made solutions for private and public construction projects.

For our industrial partners, we provide services in the research and development of construction products and support national and international approval processes in close cooperation with certified inspectorates.

Our team is specialized in complex numerical simulations and parameter studies with powerful computational tools. The determination of input parameters and their stochastic description is performed according to the latest scientific knowledge. On the basis of detailed calculations of the condition and lifecycle using probabilistic methods, it is possible to ensure the efficient and resource-saving construction and conservation of structures.
