N01.22 Motorway section Schönbühl – Kirchberg, Lindenrain rest area upgrade

The service building at the Lindenrain motorway rest area has been equipped with a new toilet module made of chrome steel; construction was completed at the end of 2023. The new toilet module offers better protection against vandalism, and it will be possible to continue its use in the event of a future replacement of the service building. R+R supported the Federal Road Office’s overall project manager in project planning and execution.

ERTMS Netherlands

Other countries, same problems: Modern railway technology requires time and money to implement. Jost Lüking was member of a team of six European experts on the ETCS train control system who assessed the status of the national ETCS program for the Dutch Parliament in mid-2023. Our Second Opinion formulated recommendations on program governance and management, on the technical, spatial and temporal scope of the program, on system integration and integration management, and last but not least on program costs and their current forecast. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterways published the Second Opinion at the beginning of November.

EP Hagnau – Augst N02

Within the Hagnau – Augst motorway maintenance project, structural changes to the western tunnel portal (direction Basel/Germany) have to be carried out to enable longitudinal ventilation in both traffic directions. We are pleased that the plans for the extension of the western portal of Schweizerhalle tunnel have officially been approved. This allows us to finalise the detailed design and approach the contractor submission process according to our project schedule.

We tie economics and engineering together

Transport facilities should enable safe, reliable and cost-efficient transport, protect people and the environment, achieve great effectiveness and be beneficial and lucrative.

The more the demands of operators and users, the concerns of environmental protection, and the interests of investors as well as taxpayers are in balance, the easier it is to realise and run transport facilities efficiently.

R+R combines competencies in technical and civil engineering, infrastructure management, transport economics, environmental and spatial analysis, as well as project management.

We ensure a balance between financial expenditure and sustainable benefit from infrastructure and transport operations.

Our principles
Our professional approach is based on the principles of systems engineering. This requires consistent definition and structuring of projects, making the diverse network of complex tasks more manageable. A time-efficient project flow is ensured and allows parallel processing of part assignments.

R+R constantly monitors the entire process and guides it with foresight and appropriate to the respective project stage.

  • systematic, holistic thinking
  • well-defined boundaries
  • well-defined objectives
  • well-defined procedures and processes
  • coherent and firm decisions
  • broad and balanced information for all parties involved

Competencies in the entire life cycle of facilities
R+R assesses and evaluates facilities in their natural, technical, economical and social environment. This includes the entire life cycle of facilities: planning, construction, operation, utilisation, maintenance and renewal. Far-reaching standards are set for the sustainability of the transport system - for its effectiveness, economy, ecology.

Identifying and solving conflicts
One of our special strengths is the ability to recognise conflicts of interest, and to find mutually satisfying solutions. Open-mindedness, flexibility, and autonomy in judgment represent the most important company principles.

International Open-Mindedness
Our national and international connections allow us to apprehend and incorporate new, relevant developments in a constructive and critical manner, and to establish important partnerships.

Quality management
Our management system has been certified in accordance with the SN EN ISO 9001 standards since 1998.







Our multidisciplinary team suits to our assignments

Civil engineers, economists, spatial planners and environmental engineers form unbiased and powerful teams of experts. This enables us to meet the many different requirements in complex and interdisciplinary projects.

Company history

R+R has operated successfully for more than 25 years.

The R+R team was formed at the end of the 1980s around Dr. Rudolf Burger, then as part of the Motor Columbus Group. In 1994 we ventured into entrepreneurship by founding R+R in Baden. From the very beginning, the employees have played a key role as shareholders of the new company. In 2000 we opened our branch office in Bern.

Today the company is entirely owned by its employees and is completely independent of other companies and interests.






Shape the future of mobility with us

A train control system in Norway, the maintenance of the Swiss national motorway network or the analysis of an urban public transport system - by working on large and innovative infrastructure projects, you will help to shape the future of mobility in Switzerland and abroad.

We achieve our ambitious goals as a team, flat hierarchies ensure efficient and dynamic project execution.

You work independently of time and location - in our modern office space, on the train or at home - wherever it suits you. We also offer you a wide and varied range of internal and external training opportunities.

Our company is owned by our employees - you will also have the opportunity to hold shares yourself.
