What ViaNova Group does
ViaNova Group is a Norwegian consulting engineering firm specializing in transport and mobility infrastructure, founded in 1988 in Sandvika (greater Oslo). The company operates through four coordinated entities — ViaNova AS (Sandvika), ViaNova Trondheim AS, ViaNova Kristiansand AS, and ViaNova Eureka AS — employing approximately 129 engineers across three regional offices. It delivered services across the full infrastructure lifecycle: planning, design, construction management, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of roads, railways, metro/tram systems, and urban public spaces. Its core technical capabilities are grounded in model-based design, BIM coordination, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) certification, GIS-based information systems, and VR/AR visualization, supplemented by proprietary tools such as the Trane climate/cost analysis instrument and the Hendelsesbasert toppsystem (HBT) map-based incident management platform for national traffic control.
The firm served a predominantly Norwegian public-sector client base — most prominently Statens vegvesen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration), Bane NOR (railway infrastructure), Sporveien, and numerous county municipalities and city administrations — alongside private developers and contractors. Revenue was generated through project-based professional service fees, secured via competitive public-sector tendering and direct private-sector negotiation. The company distinguished itself through a flat, employee-owned organizational model with full salary transparency and internal leadership development, fostering long engineer tenure and institutional knowledge.
ViaNova was acquired by Multiconsult ASA on December 3, 2025, with the deal described as Multiconsult's largest strategic acquisition since Erichsen & Horgen in 2021. Following the acquisition, ViaNova's services are distributed as part of Multiconsult's integrated engineering consulting offerings, with the intent of building Norway's strongest mobility and transportation team. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications across its main operating entities, and a project it contributed to won the 2023 Årets Anlegg (Construction Project of the Year) award.
