Services
Verkís’ services cover all aspects of cable laying, including high-voltage cables and lines associated equipment, earthworks, surveying, and zoning.
We have installed underground cables at all voltage levels used in Iceland, from low voltage up to 220 kV voltage.
Request a consultationVerkís has been a member of a group of experts that Landsnet established in 2014 on the possibility of increasing the use of underground cables in the company’s 132 kV and 220 kV transmission systems.
Verkís’ staff has worked on numerous projects in the field of underground cables and is at the forefront of Icelandic engineering firms in the design and planning of submarine cables.
Verkís’ subsidiary in Poland, Verkis Polska, is specialised in servicing high-voltage overhead lines. The company has carried out a number of projects for Poland’s transport companies regarding the design and preparation, as well as supervision, of the construction of overhead lines.
Verkís’ projects with high-voltage overhead lines in Iceland have included preliminary studies and project design of high-voltage lines for Icelandic energy companies. The service includes line route checks, transmission capacity, tower types, load-bearing capacity, ground electrodes, and more.
Our experts love a challenge and are always looking for new and exciting ways to ensure the efficiency of projects and successful implementation.

Verkís supports the development of high-voltage transmission infrastructure through integrated engineering and technical expertise. Our specialists help optimise system performance, improve network reliability, and deliver sustainable cable and overhead line solutions that support secure and efficient power transmission.
We assess transmission system performance, reactive power needs, fault levels, and equipment requirements to support network reliability, stability, and long-term development.
We conduct surveys, evaluate route alternatives, and perform technical calculations to optimise alignment, minimise risks, and support the safe and efficient development of high-voltage transmission systems.
We develop cable route designs and coordinate crossing agreements with landowners, utilities, and infrastructure operators to support safe, efficient, and compliant implementation of high-voltage transmission projects.
We develop tender documentation, support procurement activities, and prepare construction contracts for high-voltage transmission projects, helping secure technically sound, commercially competitive, and efficiently delivered infrastructure solutions.
We supervise construction, manage testing and connection activities, and support energisation of high-voltage cables and overhead lines to ensure safe, compliant, and reliable integration into the power network.
Verkís provides comprehensive services for high-voltage transmission infrastructure, supporting projects from planning and design to implementation, operation, and asset management. Our specialists help optimise system performance, improve reliability, and deliver sustainable cable and overhead line solutions for secure and efficient power transmission.
