Riyadh

In the heart of Saudi Arabia

We have been active in structural engineering in Saudi Arabia since 1985, with the King Fahd International Stadium marking our first milestone. Today, we deliver our projects from our Riyadh office and are continuously strengthening our presence in the region.

Expertise on the ground

Saudi Arabia offers a dynamic environment with complex construction challenges: urban infrastructure, bridges, buildings, sports and entertainment projects, sustainable urban development, and solar power plants. We contribute technical and cultural expertise, structural engineering competence, and extensive planning experience to demanding projects – from the initial concept through to execution and completion.

Regional responsibility

Our work in structural engineering goes beyond providing technical solutions. We see ourselves as co-creators of the built environment, committed to delivering functional, long-lasting, and culturally integrated structures. In doing so, we prioritise resource efficiency, climatic conditions, and a respectful approach to the surrounding context.

Based on over 40 years of experience in structural engineering in Saudi Arabia – beginning in 1985 with the construction of the iconic King Fahd International Stadium – we are continuing to expand our activities and presence in the region. Our branch office in Riyadh strengthens our commitment to Saudi Arabia and the entire region.
Berlin
We have been located in Berlin since 2005. After Mike Schlaich was appointed professor at the Technical University of Berlin, Department of Design and Construction - Solid Structures, and was also recognized as a test engineer for structural analysis, the establishment of the office in Berlin was a logical step for us.
New York
Although the design for One World Trade Center officially established sbp’s New York office, it was the Williamsburg Bridge that first drew us to New York in 1988. Taking 1st prize in an international design competition to replace the historic structure with an inventive hybrid suspension and cable-stayed bridge design, we got our first taste of working in the Big Apple. In 2005, we returned to New York to establish roots at a small office on West 21st Street in the Flatiron District, making it sbp’s first location outside of Europe.
São Paulo
Seit mehr als 10 Jahren stellen sich unsere Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure in unserem Büro in São Paulo motiviert und engagiert allen Herausforderungen aus den Bereichen Architektur, Ingenieurwesen und Energie. Tief verwurzelt und mit grundlegender Kenntnis der lokalen Prozeduren und Gepflogenheiten freuen wir uns auf neue Aufgaben.
Shanghai
schlaich bergermann partner has been involved in construction projects in Asia for over 20 years. The establishment of our office in Shanghai was the logical step for us to be present on site for our clients and planning partners. The focus is on extraordinary and challenging architecture in the field of bridges, exhibition halls, sports facilities and high-rise buildings.
Paris
What began with two outstanding projects in France—the Passerelle de la Paix in Lyon and the pedestrian bridge to Mont Saint-Michel—soon evolved into a lasting commitment: These achievements laid the foundation for our permanent presence in Paris in 2015. Since then, our Paris office has built a strong reputation for structural innovation and sustainable design, becoming a valued partner within the French construction and engineering industry.
Madrid
For more than 30 years we have been active in Spanish-speaking countries and with Spanish partners all over the world. Our office in Madrid enables us to provide intensive support to our friends, planning partners and projects directly on site. In our centrally located office, opposite the Parque de El Retiro, our experienced team designs and plans innovative engineering structures. In addition to sports facilities, bridges and facades, building structures and roofing fill our project portfolio.
Los Angeles
schlaich bergermann partner has been active in North America for almost 20 years. With our growing presence in Los Angeles, we bring additional expertise to the West Coast of the United States for our clients and partners. Working in close coordination with our New York office, we look to bring exciting structures to life.

We are looking forward to your message
