Sporveien, the public transport company in Oslo, signed a framework agreement with Sweco to deliver technical and engineering expertise within rail, construction and infrastructure.
The agreement runs for two years, with the possibility of extension for up to six years. The total scope of the agreement is estimated at NOK 350–500 million (EUR 30 – 42.6 million) with projects to be awarded through mini-competitions between six suppliers.
“We are pleased that Sporveien has once again chosen Sweco, and we look forward to providing our industry-leading expertise in safe and efficient rail-bound transportation. Sweco is proud to help develop Oslo’s public transport through the provision of technical consultancy and engineering services in rail, buildings and infrastructure,” says Rasmus Nord, Business Area President of Sweco Norway.
Under the new agreement, Sweco will provide technical and engineering expertise covering multidisciplinary expertise across transport, rail systems, safety, energy, construction and architecture.
“The agreement gives Sporveien access to essential engineering expertise in design and capacity, which is crucial for realising the future public transport infrastructure. Sweco is one of several suppliers selected using a competitive process and, thereby ensuring quality, flexibility and efficient resource utilisation in Sporveien’s projects,” says Hanna Rachel Broch, Sporveien’s development manager.
Sporveien, which is owned by the City of Oslo, operates the capital’s metro, tram and contracted bus services. In 2024, Sporveien T-bane (metro), Sporveien Trikken (tram) and Unibuss completed a combined 264 million passenger journeys in 2024.
Sweco has already commenced the first project under the agreement, providing technical consultancy for the planning application of a new station building above Grønland metro station.
Grønland metro station is one of the six metro interchanges with all six metro line in Oslo for which in June 2025 Sporveien selected architectural firm SAAHA to upgrade the station. The proposal combines clear architectural features with respect for the station’s history – and will give the area a long-awaited boost. Grønland station was opened in May 1966, as part of the first construction phase of the Eastern Metro.
Since then, the station has been rebuilt several times. The area has a unique character and history, but also faces challenges with safety and maintenance. The station and the surrounding businesses are an important part of the cityscape. The upgrade of the station is expected to be completed in 2028.
