Aktiv Veidrift

What Aktiv Veidrift does

Aktiv Veidrift AS Entreprenør is a Norwegian civil engineering and ground contracting firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Drammen, serving the Østlandet (Eastern Norway) region. The company delivers road construction, water and sewage (VA) infrastructure, site preparation for commercial and residential developments, and ongoing municipal maintenance services including snow removal, salting, and street sweeping. Its customer base is dominated by Norwegian municipalities — Drammen, Asker, Øvre Eiker, Holmestrand, and Nedre Eiker — supplemented by private developers such as Solon Eiendom and Asker Entreprenør. The company has positioned itself as one of Østlandet's larger regional local contractors and is currently self-described as being in significant growth.

The firm's operational technology stack includes Trimble Machine Control for equipment guidance, SmartDok and Gemini Software for project, quality, and HSE management, and participation in Samspillsenterprise (collaborative early-contractor-involvement) delivery models. Aktiv Veidrift holds ISO 9001-2015 quality certification, Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification, and Sentralt Godkjent (the central approval required to bid on Norwegian public construction contracts), and is a member of MEF (Maskinentreprenørenes Forbund). The firm has begun pursuing emission-free construction site operations, aligning with tightening Norwegian public procurement sustainability criteria.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in project-based construction contracts bid through public procurement, supplemented by multi-year municipal maintenance framework agreements — most notably a 12-year Drammen Kommune contract covering 2014-2026. Major project commitments include the 73 MNOK Loesmoen VA infrastructure contract with Øvre Eiker Kommune. Since April 2022, Aktiv Veidrift has operated as a subsidiary of Green Landscaping Group, a Nordic landscaping and infrastructure services platform, which provides capital backing, cross-border capability, and integration into a larger contract-consortium ecosystem.
