RWB is a company with a presence all over Western Switzerland and a mission to offer practical solutions that use leading-edge technology to make tomorrow’s world a better place. Its expertise covers the fields of land-use planning, water, the environment and energy, information systems, mobility and mobility infrastructures, and lastly geology, geotechnical engineering and metrology. The teams of engineers working on RWB’s different sites work hard to offer solutions that are effective, efficient and sustainable.
RWB is conscious of the importance of recognising the needs of both people and the environment. In its land development projects, the company opts for a cross-sector approach that combines its experience of construction and its vision of urban architecture and development. It incorporates the principles of sustainable development while showcasing the character and assets of a region, ensuring that urban development goes hand in hand with enhancing quality of life and protecting the environment.
Water, energy, environment: fostering more sustainable solutions
With more than 80 years in the business, RWB has built up invaluable know-how and a sound knowledge of the water, energy and environment sectors in particular, making a name for itself both at home and abroad thanks to its expertise in water supply, hydropower, sewerage and water treatment. Their KLS filter, a water treatment technology requiring neither electricity nor chemicals, is a minor revolution in the water industry.
RWB also delivers energy projects that prioritise renewables such as geothermal energy, solar power and biomass, creating synergies between consumers and producers through the use of heating networks. The specialists at RWB are also tasked with developing environmentally friendly solutions that take account of and aim to limit human-driven impacts. Here again, sustainability lies at the heart of the company’s approach.
Solid experience in mobility and information systems projects
The mobility sector is undergoing far-reaching change, with greener alternatives such as e-bikes, cycle paths and electric vehicles progressively becoming part of everyday life. Also active in this field since its early days, RWB is committed to facilitating soft mobility and improving user safety while limiting any adverse impact. The many public mobility projects the company has delivered are proof positive of its desire to ensure that future generations enjoy a pleasant and sustainable way of life. Enhancement of the built environment and the creation of social spaces are two examples of this.
RWB also has proven expertise in information systems, particularly in developing network management software and in geomatic engineering, providing many customers with the right digital tools to manage their projects.
Forthcoming new projects
RWB has launched various ambitious projects for the coming months, many of them related to the digitalisation of society. These include developing new water treatment technology, using AI in district heating networks and expanding its small hydro solutions. In addition, helping industry with energy optimisation and promoting the biogas and waste sectors are two of the company’s medium-term objectives. Lastly, RWB is also open to dipping its toe in the fascinating world of start-up technology by investing in and supporting several fledgling companies. The next few months are set to be a very exciting time for the company’s 200 employees.
