Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, Stuttgart Tel..0711-648710 info@sbp.de

Schlaich Bergermann und

Partner is engaged in several
fields of civil and structural
engineering:
The scope of work includes all
planning phases and ranges
from feasibility studies,
conceptual design through
detailed structural design to the
supervision of workshop and site
construction. Our close contact
to teaching and research work at
Universities places readily at our
disposal the latest "state of the
art" as well as the know-how of
new construction methods and
materials.This easily enables us
to include any type of
experimental work (such as
material testing, structural
testing, wind-tunnel tests) in our
project studies.
