About us

Marti is a family owned group of con­struc­tion com­pa­nies based in Berne-Moos­see­dorf, Switzer­land. The first Marti com­pany was es­tab­lished in 1922. Steady growth as of the 1940ies led to geo­graph­ical ex­pan­sion ­all over Switzer­land and to a tech­nolo­gy-driv­en diversi­fica­tion and special­ization.The most signi­ficant mile­stones include cutting-edge mech­aniza­tion of earth and road con­struc­tion works in the late 1950ies and, in the early 1980ies, the acqui­sition of projects in foreign coun­tries, such as Saudi Arabia or South Africa. Marti has been in­volved in a wide range of infra­structure and buil­ding projects in Switzer­land and abroad, as general con­tractor, lead partner in inter­national joint ven­tures, design­build con­tractor, con­struc­tion manager and sub­con­tractor.

Raise Boring and Shaft Construction Works

During the last five years Marti has be­come a trus­ted inter­nation­al part­ner for the exe­cu­tion of raise bo­ring and shaft con­struc­tion works. The de­vel­op­ment of the Marti raise bo­ring unit start­ed with two ver­tical pres­sure shafts (dia­meters up to 8.2 m / 27 ft; depth 430 m / 1,410 ft) for the 900 MW Nant de Drance pump-sto­rage plant in the south­west­ern part of Switzer­land and a job in Hong Kong. In 2016, the com­pany com­pleted work at the Chu­quica­mata copper mine in the north of Chi­le, the Uma Oya pro­ject in Sri Lanka and the­­ Búr­fell hydro­power plant in Ice­land. With our equip­ment, drilled shafts with dia­meters up to 6 m / 19.6 ft and depths up to 1,000 m / 3,280 ft are achiev­able.

Waterproofing and­­­
Grouting / Injection Works

Es­tab­lished in 1965, Renesco has de­ve­loped from a local Swiss tunnel sea­ling com­pany to an inter­nation­ally reco­gnized spe­cial­ist for the exe­cu­tion of water­proof­ing and grou­ting solu­tions for all kinds of un­der­ground, hy­drau­lic and civil struc­tures. Our ser­vices in­clude sheet water­proof­ing / geo­mem­branes (such as PVC, FPO / TPO and HDPE), liquid applied / sprayed water­proofing, bon­ding sea­ling sys­tems for new struc­tures or res­tora­tion work. Full ser­vice in che­mi­cal and ce­men­titious grou­ting / in­jec­tion is avail­able in­clu­ding drilling services. To be able to meet our cus­tomers’ highest ex­pec­ta­tions with re­gard to the qua­lity and ef­fi­cien­cy of work, Renesco de­velops and con­stant­ly im­proves its equip­ment and method­ologies.
