Veidekke Industri Operation and maintenance

Veidekke Industri Drift og vedlikehold operates and maintains roads throughout Norway, and mainly has operating contracts with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration as a direct customer. In addition, Veidekke Industri is engaged as an operating contractor in two PPP (public-private partnership) contracts as well as an engagement for Avinor at OSL Gardermoen. We and our collaborating subcontractors work to make transportation a good experience for you. The main tasks are to move traffic safely and efficiently as well as to take care of the transportation routes and ensure the desired service life.

Veidekke is the country's second-largest operations and maintenance contractor, and is part of the Veidekke Group, which has a combined turnover of more than NOK 35 billion. Veidekke operates in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, but operations and maintenance is only a business area in Norway.

In PPP contracts, agreements are entered into for a longer period than traditional operating contracts of five years.

Typical tasks in a PPP contract:

  • Winter operations (salting, plowing and gritting of footpaths and cycle paths). We assess weather situations to ensure the best possible measures with the greatest effect at the right time
  • Setting plow blades
  • Mowing grass
  • Clearing rubbish
  • Washing signs
  • Washing tunnels and bridges
  • Securing areas in the event of traffic accidents and repairing any damage to objects as a result of the accident (e.g. railings, signs, etc.)
  • Sweeping and keeping the road surface clean of rubbish and gravel
  • Keeping it clean and tidy around the rest areas
