Who are we
Our origins
EQUILIBRE Structural Engineers is a team of structural engineers who have been working since 1990 in the design office of the engineering department of CCS S.A. company.
At the end of 2019, in a mutual interest, the two companies reached an agreement allowing the separation of the design office of the original company and the creation of EQUILIBRE Structural Engineers.
Our principal characteristics
With the strength of this long term legacy, EQUILIBRE S.E. acts as a bridge to CCS’s past and continues to offer its clients, mainly in France, structural design services with the same quality and reliability, while maintaining its advantages in terms of responsiveness and accuracy.
Our logo
A circle that closes another, without ever passing through the same point or reproducing the same diameter: this is the main property of a spiral, symbol of movement and harmony by nature, which we have chosen to represent EQUILIBRE Structural Engineers.
Our name
Equilibrium is the foundation of our work as engineers. It is what we must ensure in the first place for any work.
