The move reflects growing demand linked to energy transition projects, expanding infrastructure investment, and stricter regulatory requirements. With an expanded scope covering renewables, power networks, hydrogen, carbon capture, rail, and manufacturing, the unit supports customers throughout the full asset lifecycle while strengthening digital and data-driven capabilities. The integration of DNV’s railway business further enhances its role in safeguarding performance and reliability across critical infrastructure sectors.

(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 19-Feb-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — DNV has introduced Industrial Services as a new dedicated business unit, transforming its long-established inspection activities into a global provider of quality assurance and inspection solutions for energy, infrastructure, and complex industrial supply chains.

The development responds to rising demand from organizations managing large-scale energy transition initiatives, increased infrastructure investment, and tightening regulatory and compliance expectations. By establishing Industrial Services, DNV is positioning itself to support clients facing more complex project environments and supply chain challenges worldwide.

Broader Scope Across Industrial and Energy Sectors

The new unit reflects an expanded focus that extends beyond traditional oil and gas inspection into areas such as renewable energy, power transmission, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, rail, and advanced industrial manufacturing. The offering is designed to cover the entire asset lifecycle, from fabrication and construction through operational phases and ongoing performance management.

This evolution aligns with the growing scale and interconnected nature of modern industrial assets, which require integrated oversight to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance.

Integrated Expertise to Support Critical Infrastructure Projects

Operating as a standalone business within DNV Group, Industrial Services combines global reach with localized execution. Its strategy emphasizes strengthening long-term customer partnerships, expanding into adjacent markets, and leveraging digital and data-driven tools to enhance inspection, verification, and asset performance services.

The inclusion of DNV’s railway business as of 1 January 2026 further broadens the unit’s capabilities in transport and critical infrastructure, reinforcing its role in supporting complex, multi-sector projects.

Enabling the Energy Transition Through Trusted Assurance

DNV’s inspection heritage has progressively diversified into offshore wind, electricity networks, hydrogen, and carbon capture applications. Industrial Services formalizes this transformation, providing a clearer structure to deliver expertise that helps customers manage risk, maintain quality standards, and accelerate the delivery of essential energy and infrastructure developments.

The launch underscores DNV’s intention to serve as a comprehensive industrial partner for organizations building and operating the systems that underpin the global shift toward lower-carbon energy and more resilient infrastructure.
