  • Restoration brings Eaumorte Bridge back into the townscape

    Restoration brings Eaumorte Bridge back into the townscape

    The construction company MAULINI SA, based in Satigny, informs in a LinkedIn post about the completion of the restoration of the Eaumorte Bridge. The bridge between Avully and Cartigny was built in the mid-19th century and is considered one of the oldest in the canton of Geneva. Work began on June 2, 2025 and was completed at the end of October. The municipality of Avully described the bridge as being in an “advanced state of deterioration” before the restoration began.

    MAULINI carried out all the work, including the restoration, the removal of vegetation, the reconstruction of the stones according to the original and the design of the access to the bridge. According to the company, “the work consisted of repointing the stones with historic mortar, creating a new superstructure and installing a parapet made of local wood to give the bridge back its original stability and charm”. The aim of the restoration was to make the bridge accessible again for pedestrians, bicycles and horses. MAULINI worked together with the engineering firm EDMS from Petit-Lancy GE on this project.

    Founded in 1910, MAULINI SA specializes in building construction and civil engineering. This includes in particular projects for the construction of apartment buildings, industrial and administrative buildings as well as restoration projects such as the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. The company is one of the five finalists for the Prix SVC Genève 2025, which will be awarded on November 27, 2025 at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva.

  • Hächler refurbishes historic Posthorn inn

    Hächler refurbishes historic Posthorn inn

    The Hächler construction company reports progress on the renovation project with a new building for the historic Posthorn inn in Neuenhof. According to the press release , the old building will be extensively renovated. Seven rental apartments are being built in the former hotel. There is also a new building with a further 16 rental apartments.

    Since the building permit for the Posthorn superstructure was granted in 2019, the structural and civil engineering department of Hächler AG has been in charge of the construction work since spring 2021. According to Hächler, the project is not easy. The historic post horn was not allowed to be torn off. The building dates from 1834 and is a protected site. Gable and facade must be preserved.

    According to Hächler, to ensure the statics and to support the facade that remains in place, a complex steel brace was installed. The rest of the post horn could only be broken off after the installation of this steel spline. When the historic building was gutted, the effective master builder work began. In the meantime, the erection work on the roof trusses of the Posthorn and the new building are scheduled for March and April.

    According to the construction management, the work on the superstructure will be completed around May 2022. Then the interior work takes place. The move-in date for the new apartments in the Posthorn is planned for February 2023 and in the new building for April 2023.
