Structural Civil Engineering — Public Procurement
Structural civil engineering covers the planning and construction of complex load-bearing structures and infrastructure works — from bridges and retaining walls through trough structures to hydraulic engineering works. This area requires the highest technical expertise and is procured predominantly by public contracting authorities. Projects regularly exceed the EU thresholds.
Typical tenders in the structural civil engineering sector
- Construction of a retaining wall along a federal trunk road
- New trough structure for a rail underpass
- Construction of a reinforced concrete flood protection wall
- Foundation works (piled foundations, sheet piling) for an infrastructure project
- Construction of a noise protection wall along a motorway
- Repair of a structural work along a waterway

Challenges in tender discovery
The term "structural civil engineering" (Ingenieurbau) is rarely used explicitly in tenders. Instead, projects are named by their specific subject — "retaining wall", "trough structure", "embankment protection" or "foundation works". Structural civil engineering firms must therefore cover a broad range of search terms.
In addition, many structural civil engineering works are part of larger transport or hydraulic engineering projects. The relevant lots are bundled within extensive procurement procedures alongside numerous other trades. Without systematic lot analysis, suitable contracts often remain undiscovered.
