Business operations
With an entrepreneurial approach and extensive experience from complex and challenging projects within infrastructure and energy NYAB has the recent years grown to a specialized contractor. NYAB provides end-to-end services of engineering, construction and maintenance.
NYAB is divided into the business segments Civil Engineering and Consulting, both focused on energy, infrastructure, and industrial construction. Within all these three growth areas a development to a green transition is underway. NYAB is proud to be part of that shift and to contribute to shaping procurements, working methods, standards, and processes in line with the development. NYAB assumed its current form in the spring of 2022 through the merger of Finnish Skarta group and Swedish NYAB group. In the beginning of 2025, the company further expanded its consulting business and established presence in Norway by the acquisition of Dovre.
