What Geovita does
Geovita AS is a Norwegian consulting engineering firm, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Oslo, specializing in geotechnics, engineering geology, and hydrogeology. The firm delivers practical, buildable design solutions that combine construction-engineering judgment with modern computational tools, serving complex road, rail, metro, and commercial real estate projects primarily in the Eastern Norway (Østlandet) region. Its six core service lines are engineering geology for tunnels and rock chambers, engineering geology for high cuttings and slope stability, ground investigations, deep excavation pit (byggegrop) design in soft clay, foundation engineering, and BIM/3D/GIS services.
The firm's technology stack is built around BIM, 3D modeling, and GIS, with particular depth in parametric modeling using Rhino/Grasshopper, 3D geological modeling via Leapfrog Works, and dynamic BIM modeling of ground support structures and geological layers. Its pioneering work on 3D/BIM methods for geotechnics formed the basis for handbooks developed for Statens vegvesen and Bane NOR, and it participates in the GeoFuture project for next-generation geotechnical design tools. Geovita holds Norwegian central approval (sentral godkjenning) in geotechnics and engineering geology.
Geovita generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts, typically multi-year, secured via competitive tendering with public agencies (Statens vegvesen, BaneNOR, Sporveien Oslo) and direct negotiations with major contractors and real estate developers (Skanska, NCC Property, Schage Eiendom, Møller Eiendom). Building market work has grown to approximately one-third of revenue. The firm operates as part of the Aas-Jakobsen-ViaNova network (~250 employees) and, since 2024, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norconsult, one of the largest Nordic consulting engineering firms. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, with offices in Oslo and Trondheim.

Geovita competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Sweco Norge: Nordic engineering consultancy with strong Norwegian presence in infrastructure, buildings, and geotechnical-adjacent work. Competes with Geovita on urban infrastructure and commercial real estate projects across Østlandet.
- Norconsult: Parent company and leading Nordic engineering consultancy. While now the parent of Geovita, Norconsult also operates its own geotechnical, tunnel, and infrastructure practices across the Nordics, making it both an enabler and the most direct internal comparator for Geovita's capabilities.
- COWI: Danish-headquartered international engineering consultancy with significant Norwegian infrastructure and tunnel work. Overlaps with Geovita in complex urban infrastructure and tunnel engineering, particularly on Scandinavian cross-border projects.
- WSP Norge: Global engineering consultancy with a Norwegian practice active in road, rail, and tunnel infrastructure. Competes with Geovita for major public tenders and brings comparable geotechnical and BIM capabilities at much larger scale.
- Multiconsult: One of Norway's largest engineering consultancies, offering multidisciplinary design including geotechnical and tunnel engineering. Competes with Geovita for major infrastructure tenders in Norway but as part of a much broader portfolio.
- Rambøll Norge: Nordic engineering consultancy with a significant Norwegian transport infrastructure practice. Competes for the same public infrastructure tenders as Geovita, particularly in road, rail, and tunnel work, with much broader scale.
Direct peers
- Dr. Ing. A. Aas-Jakobsen: Norwegian structural and bridge engineering consultancy. As Geovita's lead network partner in the Aas-Jakobsen-ViaNova group, Aas-Jakobsen frequently sub-contracts geotechnical work to Geovita on the very projects both firms are jointly pursuing.
- ViaNova Plan og Trafikk: Norwegian transport planning and traffic engineering consultancy. Network partner of Geovita in the Aas-Jakobsen-ViaNova group, working alongside Geovita on complex integrated transport projects in Norway.
- Norges Geotekniske Institutt (NGI): Norway's leading geotechnical research and consulting institute. NGI is a direct peer in geotechnical and engineering geology services and an actual collaborator of Geovita on the E18 Bjørvikaprosjektet and the BIM for GeoScience webinar series.
Others
- Trimble / Vianova Systems (Novapoint): Software and technology partner rather than a direct competitor. Geovita has nearly 30 years of co-development on the Novapoint platform with Trimble, contributing to terrain modeling, tunnel, geotechnics, and 3D visualization modules that Geovita also uses in its own delivery.
