Structural & Civil Engineering

Ney & Partners design structures. An active vision
of civil engineering that integrates different disciplines
is what motivates us.

Every project is unique, the way we work universal.
It all begins with asking the right questions. The
exact form, the precise geometry, the choice of materials
and the inclusion of the boundary conditions
are re-evaluated for each project. These elements
form the beginning of a quest for efficient solutions,
in which each individual element provides the answer
to multiple problems.

At Ney & Partners, the foundation of a successful
project is the synthesis of all contextual elements.
We do not view the boundary conditions, such as
space and budget restrictions, as obstacles but
as fuel for our creativity. This is how we reach solutions
that carefully take into account all of the
requirements ... but with playful eyes. Our motto is
‘high engineering’ instead of ‘high tech’: in other
words, effective engineering that adds value by
eliminating the non-essential.

The distinctive methodology and design culture of
Ney & Partners has grown out of the experience
gained during individual assignments. We have
thrown the traditional engineering hierarchy of accumulated
solutions overboard. Likewise, the existing
typology of bridges and structures has also
been abandoned, allowing the context to shape a
specific and new design.

Our organisation reflects this vision. We have a
global presence and our engineers, architects and
designers have diverse, international backgrounds.
Our team embodies a wealth of different insights,
coupled with a vast amount of adaptability and
empathy. We combine different types of mutually
reinforcing expertise. The knowledge gained in the
design of bridges and special structures is utilised
in the stability of buildings, and vice versa. The
scale of the detailed building designs is then converted
back into details for constructions such as
parapets, lighting and seating. Design and product
development belong equally to our domain.

 Using our knowledge, experience and vision we
create designs with a unique identity, in a design
language that feels natural and both intrigues and
inspires. The innovative supporting structures, footbridges,
bridges, canopies and constructions that
we develop are all examples of this.

In our partnership with clients, architects, engineers and artists
we strive towards the integration of context, design,
structure and philosophy.
As a result, Ney & Partners arrive at integrated
solutions and integral constructions. Our innovative
structures bear witness to our pioneering spirit and
ingenuity.
Giving form to physical forces and integrating structures
regardless of scale: these are the starting
points for designs that transcend passing fashions
and will continue to inspire future generations.

The construction project quality lies in the synthesis of specific design constraints. The structural aspect is of primary importance to this synthesis. From the very beginning of the design process, Ney & Partners conducts a constant research for advanced engineering integration. In doing so, our position as Engineering Consultancy overcomes the standardized dimensioning of predefined technical solutions.

An intense collaboration with the design team from an early stage on allows the development of innovative solutions, adapted to the context of the project.
This constant research method has been applied to the study of a wide range of problems, providing us with a profound practical knowledge of structural engineering.
