ARX Lomazzo

Benvenuti to Lomazzo!

ARX's first Italian office in Lomazzo offers the three main disciplines in the infrastructure sector: Structural Engineering, Road and Railway Alignment, and Tunnelling & Geotechnical Engineering. These Section are supported by the BIM and CAD department, as well as, by the Geomatics & Monitoring Section that works in close coordination with the Design Teams. The service offering is completed by the Project Management Section, which ensures the highest quality standards in the management of complex, multidisciplinary projects.
