Maveplan Oy

What Maveplan Oy does

Maveplan Oy is a Finnish civil engineering consulting firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Oulu, with regional offices in Kuopio and Seinäjoki. The firm employs 18 people and operates as a 100% Finnish-owned private limited company (Oy), serving three customer segments: public sector/municipalities, private sector enterprises (including renewable energy developers), and agricultural clients (farmers and drainage associations). Its service portfolio divides into two main lines: Engineering Planning Services (Suunnittelupalvelut) covering geotechnical investigations, foundation design, surveying, municipal infrastructure, environmental and water permits, solar park infrastructure, and water resources engineering (fishways, flood control, dam safety); and Agricultural Drainage Services (Maatalouden kuivatuspalvelut) including field drainage, arterial drainage, project management for ditch associations, smartphone field maps, and environmental advisory.

The company's technical differentiators include the Surfbee USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) water flow measurement system, which combines ADCP, GNSS, autopilot, and compass — making Maveplan the only Finnish operator with this technology. It also deploys 3D terrain modeling that converts main ditch plans into machine control models for direct excavator integration, and GPS-enabled repeatable measurements that support long-term fishway and water body monitoring. Recent product launches include solar park infrastructure design services (2024) and the USV measurement device (April 2025). The firm is RALA-certified to ISO standards and is a member of the Finnish Association of Consulting Firms (SKOL).

Maveplan's business model is project-based professional services consulting, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct client engagement, industry events (e.g., Energimässan), SKOL membership, and referrals. The company is expanding internationally via a JTF-funded project with Nordic Export Group to survey solar park opportunities in central and northern Sweden through end of 2024. Marketing is primarily content-driven through the company website (Finnish, Swedish, English), customer case studies, and blog content.
