Services in rail & transport
A professional work environment with broad expertise across all phases of a project
Experience that drives progress
Since 2003, Rytec AS has delivered consultancy and project management for Norwegian transport projects. Our consultants bring solid experience from projects across the country – ranging from railways, trams, and metro systems to electric buses and signalling infrastructure. This expertise makes us a trusted partner for both public and private organisations.
Project management
Our experienced project managers ensure progress, quality, and cost control in every phase – from procurement and construction to testing, handover, and operations. In complex projects, clear role definition and effective communication are critical to success. Rytec has led major deliveries in public transport, including the introduction of new airport express trains, testing and commissioning of the SL18 trams in Oslo, and the development of charging infrastructure for electric buses.
