Norway-based Trasé AS – a specialist within construction and maintenance of
public transport infrastructure.

maintenance and upgrades of railways, tramways and road infrastructure related

headquartered at Østerås in Bærum municipality, just outside Oslo.

The majority of Trasé’s projects are located in the greater Oslo region. The
company’s largest clients include public infrastructure owners such as the
Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Oslo Municipality and municipality-owned
public transport operator Sporveien.

In 2024, Trasé delivered revenue of approximately NOK 63 million, and EBIT of

even larger railway maintenance projects,” says Gjermund Sogn, CEO of Nordic
Infrastructure Group.
