About Gartmann Schmed & Partner AG
Gartmann Schmed & Partner AG (GSP-ING) was founded in 2014 by Ralph Gartmann and Roland Schmed in Chur as a public limited company. The firm, with 17 specialist staff, operates in structural engineering as graduate civil engineers ETH/HTL/SIA. Its service portfolio covers bridge construction for road and rail in prestressed concrete, reinforced concrete and structural steel, civil structures such as underpasses, retaining walls, avalanche galleries and tunnel structures, geotechnical engineering with deep foundations and excavation pit support, as well as building and industrial construction. Further specialist fields include civil and road engineering, structural inspections and refurbishments, earthquake safety (verification and upgrading), site supervision and expert mandates in structural engineering. Clients include, among others, TBA Canton of Grisons, Rhaetian Railway, SBB, ASTRA, BBL, BKW, SRG SSR as well as hospitals and real estate companies. The firm also trains apprentices and works primarily in Switzerland, especially Grisons.
