Sweco has been awarded a framework agreement by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate  to provide consulting services related to flood and erosion protection measures across Norway. The agreement has an estimated order value of SEK 140 million for Sweco during the contract period from 2026–2027, with the option of two additional one-year extensions.

Under the agreement, Sweco will support projects aimed at reducing risks associated with flooding, riverbank erosion, landslides and other water-related ground movements. The scope also includes climate adaptation measures designed to protect people, communities, property and critical infrastructure.

“Climate adaptation and water resilience are becoming increasingly critical priorities across the Nordic region and across Europe. Through this agreement, Sweco will contribute multidisciplinary expertise to help strengthen Norway’s preparedness and long-term protection against flooding and erosion,” says Rasmus Nord, Business Area President, Sweco Norway.

Norway has experienced a series of severe weather events in recent years, including Storm Hans in 2023 and Storm Ingunn in 2024, which have highlighted the growing need for resilient infrastructure and strengthened national preparedness to address climate-related risks.

The agreement reflects growing investment in climate resilience across Europe in line with Sweco’s recent analysis highlighting increasing risks related to flooding, ageing water infrastructure and climate adaptation.
