A Little History
Founded in 1875 by Louis Moulin, SERPOLLET began as a paving company. Louis Moulin’s son-in-law, Joseph Serpollet, later took over the business, giving the company its name. SERPOLLET, as we know it today, was established in 1919.
More than 145 years
of expertise
With more than 145 years of experience, SERPOLLET has established itself as a major player in the public works sector. Recognized as a leading provider in the Rhône and neighboring departments, the company works with both local governments and private-sector entities.
Areas of Expertise
In the TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS, we specialize in large-scale high-voltage projects in electrical and civil engineering. As such, we have comprehensive expertise in high-voltage infrastructure (HTB). We also work on gas networks, primarily in the preventive maintenance of infrastructure used to transport natural gas and hydrocarbons.
In the DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS, we stand out for our comprehensive expertise in the design, construction, and maintenance of underground and overhead electrical networks. Drawing on our expertise in the energy sector, we also provide services for telecommunications and natural gas networks.
In LAND USE PLANNING, we support local governments by providing solutions for street lighting and decorative lighting. We offer comprehensive expertise, including installation, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance. Our expertise also extends to Comprehensive Performance-Based Public Contracts (MPGP), smart grids, electric vehicle charging infrastructure (IRVE), and the design of solar power plants. In this way, we contribute to the energy transition in local communities.
Every project begins with site preparation, which is essential to ensuring sustainable and reliable infrastructure. Our teams handle the design, site preparation, earthwork, installation of underground and overhead utility lines, connections, commissioning, and related maintenance.

Our Advantages
Engineering Firm
The engineering firm manages a wide variety of projects in the energy sector (from production to distribution). It handles every aspect of these projects, from the feasibility study through to project completion.
We manage every step of the process, from conducting surveys and preparing topographic maps to analyzing the alignment, including sizing, obtaining permits, and compiling the As-Built Documentation. We do this in close collaboration with the construction departments to ensure an optimal approach.
Drawing on our expertise, we design innovative, customized solutions that combine performance with environmental responsibility. Our goal: to provide our clients with effective solutions that are perfectly tailored to their needs.
On-Call Service
To ensure the safety of public spaces, our on-call service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We serve the entire Lyon metropolitan area. We are ready to respond in the event of an incident or when network maintenance is required. This ensures optimal service continuity for our customers.
Specialized Equipment
We use specialized and innovative equipment. This allows us to guarantee speed, precision, and safety during our work on all types of job sites. Among our flagship pieces of equipment, our trenchers and pipe-laying machines ensure meticulous and efficient work. Meanwhile, our Challenger tractor allows us to both dig holes and lift posts with precision. For sites that are particularly difficult to access, we use helicopters—an ideal solution for carrying out specialized work under challenging conditions. Our all-terrain 4×4 aerial work platform provides our teams with optimal mobility for working on overhead installations, whether in urban or rural areas. Thanks to this equipment, we are able to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
The Energy Transition
SERPOLLET is actively involved in the Lyon Basin Business Climate Convention. We are mobilizing our Innovations Department to support the ecological transition (research and development of new processes for construction sites, etc.).
Strategic Locations
With its 8 branches located throughout the Rhône,Isère, andAin departments, SERPOLLET ensures close ties with its customers. In addition, its HTB Grands Travaux branch enables the company to operate throughout France with its transportation network business.
