Our business fields

Natural hazards are our daily business. We are motivated to face new challenges such as those posed by climate change. Drought and flooding are two opposing issues that need to be considered as a whole. Even though we cover a wide range of topics, we are still specialists in the individual areas.

Property protection

In Switzerland, a great many properties are at risk from natural hazards. One way of ensuring their protection is by taking measures to protect them.
