EFLA's operations in Norway demonstrated resilience and innovation throughout 2024, achieving key milestones despite facing challenges.
Workforce Growth and New Expertise
EFLA´s Norwegian team expanded from 47 employees at the end of 2023 to 53 by the close of 2024. This growth underscores the region's importance to EFLA and reflects the team's increasing capabilities. Establishing a new Geotechnical and Geological Engineering division has broadened the scope of expertise, reinforcing EFLA's technical foundation in Norway.
Strengthening Long-Term Partnerships
Although the year included the loss of a key framework agreement with the Norwegian Road Administration, new long-term framework agreements with Statnett, Norway's transmission system operator, helped balance the impact. These agreements provide a solid foundation for growing the Energy Division, ensuring continued involvement in critical infrastructure projects supporting Norway's energy transition.
EFLA Norway also participated in developmental initiatives, including the E39 "Tegningsløs Leveranse" project. This innovative approach delivered infrastructure without traditional drawings, relying entirely on advanced digital models. This model-based delivery highlights the ability of EFLA AS to embrace cutting-edge methodologies, improving efficiency and precision in infrastructure development.
Organizational Improvements
The region also invested in its operational and digital transformation:
- Hiring a dedicated HR specialist enhancing employee development and well-being.
- Launching a new website, elevating visibility and communication with clients and partners.
- Aligning systems with the EFLA Group landscape, such as adopting Manor and PowerBI, improves integration and data-driven decision-making.
Financial Milestone
While final numbers are pending, 2024 marked a record turnover for EFLA Norway, demonstrating the team's ability to thrive despite competitive challenges.
With a robust foundation, new strategic directions, and a growing team, EFLA Norway is well-positioned for continued success in 2025 and beyond.
