We operate over a large geographical area and have offices in Sveg, Hede, Funäsdalen, Svenstavik, Hackås, and Bräcke, which provides great opportunities to work from different locations. Currently, several larger projects are underway, including a major expansion of municipal water and sewage in Härjedalen. The purpose is to ensure long-term stable operations for water and sewage supply, with increased environmental requirements and exploitation in tourist areas.
