Norconsult has worked on international projects in more than 150 countries over the past 50 years. We are both a sought-after partner for Norwegian companies abroad, as well as for local companies where we have a presence.
We focus especially on selected markets in South America, southern Africa and South-East Asia, where we have established local offices. In addition, we establish project offices in other locations when required, and are also constantly considering the establishment of more offices in new regions.
A cornerstone of international activities is having local presence in priority markets. Norconsult has local staff present in all its areas, and build local organizations, in combination with expertise from Norway.
Although Norconsult as a company offers a complete range of services, we focus on certain services internationally:
Energy
Norconsult is one of the leading consulting engineering companies in power generation, energy supply and water resources planning with 80 years of experience in Norway and 50 years of international operations.
Oil and Gas
Oil and gas projects require a high degree of multidisciplinary services, large capacity and sound experience from the execution of high complexity projects, involving many parties and tight schedules. Experience, expertise and multi-discipline understanding during the design phase as well as thorough knowledge of contracts, planning and site execution are vital in order to carry out a successful project. Norconsult has acquired such competencies over many years.
Rock engineering and engineering geology
Norway is a mountainous country, and Norwegians have learned to live with the landscape, as well as making the most advantageous use of its characteristics. Norconsult's expertise regarding the utilisation of underground space is well known, both at home and abroad, and we are in the forefront of developing the "Underground Solution".
Transport
Norconsult is currently one of the foremost companies carrying out planning and design of transportation projects in Norway. Simultaneously, our international experience within the transportation sector is substantial.
Norconsult is owned by its employees, which has a special impact on the spirit of the company and the passion people bring to work.

We challenge status quo, ensure innovation in every project, and continuously improve our business model to respond to evolving needs of our clients.
