Nordic Large Projects is NCC:s specialized unit that develops and manages major infrastructure projects in the Nordic region worth billions. The unit brings together experienced project managers, specialists and other key roles to meet the requirements for this type of project – from tender to project completion.
For many years now at NCC we have built up a solid track record of large infrastructure projects all over the Nordic countries. Partnering in the early stages, effective project management and innovative solutions are all success factors in a major infrastructure project. This is why we have brought our knowledgeable employees together in a multidisciplinary team: so we can offer our customers a strong partner in large, demanding infrastructure projects.
“In our large infrastructure project unit, we’ve gathered resources from across the Nordic region. All of them have extensive experience of large, complex projects.”
- Nils Bjelm, Head of division Civil Engineering Sweden
These days, being on the contractor’s team in a large infrastructure project places high demands on skills in a variety of areas: co-operation, design, purchasing, technology, digitalization, sustainability, finance, HR, project management, various contract forms and much more. The ability to envision opportunities and take full responsibility is crucial.
Through partnering in the early stages of a project, we can use skills optimally in the project, reduce risk and increase productivity. In complex infrastructure projects, it is without a doubt a strength to be an industry leader in construction partnering. Many of the large projects we’ve been involved in have been completed ahead of schedule and under budget, which serves as proof that good partnering brings about good results.
We think it is important to maintain a life cycle focus when developing the final product. That is why we are convinced that the most innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions are created in collaboration. This applies to everything from technical solutions and how we minimize disruptions to various forms of collaboration and operation.
At NCC, we work systematically with creating a safe working environment. NCC has a zero vision for worksite accidents. Our great focus on safety guides the actions of the entire group and forms an important part of our sustainability efforts. It also guides us in our approach to meeting safety requirements and understanding how we impact the environment close to our worksites. For us, a life cycle focus means considering social, economic and environmental parameters.
Today, Nordic Large Projects focuses on infrastructure projects in road and rail transport. Employees are chosen as key members of our largest projects throughout the entire Nordic region. The group also provides specialist support for our local departments. In addition to NCC’s own expertise, we also have a well-established network of partners and consultants who are specialists in large infrastructure projects.
Nordic Large Projects is a unit in the business area NCC Infrastructure.
