EFLA's transmission system projects in Sweden have made great progress. Svenska Kraftnät recently signed an agreement with EFLA for the development and design of new double-circuit 400 kV tower types that are a part of a development project for the next 20 years, called the NordSyd project.

Statnett, the system operator of the Norwegian transmission system, has renewed its framework agreement with EFLA Consulting Engineers. The framework agreement entails consultation as well as design work. EFLA received the highest score out of all participants. 

Statnett powerlines (Norway) are generally constructed in extremely difficult, mountainous terrain exposed to high wind and ice loads. The lack of accessibility to most tower locations requires all equipment, materials and personnel to be flown to the construction site. Reducing the flying time or number of trips has a huge impact on the environment and cost. These constraints and impacts triggered a R&D project, with EFLA's participation, aimed at developing a new tower made completely of aluminium for the 420kV transmission network. 

EFLA has been recognized as one of Iceland‘s strongest companies. Creditinfo, a leading local credit information provider, completes a detailed analysis highlighting Icelandic companies that have achieved top marks for strength, stability and resilience in the marketplace.

In Gróska's new building at Vatnsmýri, you can see a unique and magnificent Green Wall that has attracted much-deserved attention. EFLA was involved in the project in many ways and was responsible for, amongst other things, plant cultivation, piping design and control equipment.

EFLA Consulting Engineers received a prestigious environmental award for exceptional work in environmental issues over the past year. The Icelandic Ministry for the Environment and Natural Resources rewards each year this award, "Kuðungur" (Sea shell), recognising companies and public organisations who excel in environmental issues.

Deep inside the Norwegian fjords lies the Eagles nest, perched on top of Norway's most popular base-jumping mountain Kjerag. This is the staging area for one of EFLA's most ambitious “design tower” projects in cooperation with Widenoja Design.
