Novetus GmbH

Novetus GmbH is an Austrian company based in Vienna that specialises in archaeology and building research (Bauforschung). According to its official website, the firm positions itself as a partner for archaeological excavation and the investigation of historic building fabric, serving clients that range from private house-builders to large infrastructure projects. Its core archaeological services include prospections, preliminary investigations and excavations carried out by trained archaeological personnel using modern technical methods, with the aim of properly excavating, documenting and recovering archaeological sites. A significant part of Novetus's work is tied to infrastructure and linear projects. The company conducts archaeological preliminary investigations — including archive and aerial-photograph research, geophysics and field-walking prospection — as well as construction supervision and excavations ahead of road, rail, wind-farm and pipeline projects. Its website cites examples such as several road and rail construction projects commissioned by ASFINAG and ÖBB, alongside wind parks and pipeline construction. It also offers rescue excavations (Rettungsgrabungen) to help clients deal quickly and flexibly with unexpected archaeological discoveries and avoid construction delays. Beyond fieldwork, Novetus provides environmental impact assessment (UVP) services and expert reports. It prepares reports and assessments for all kinds of projects to clarify the situation, and also produces environmental impact declarations for material and cultural assets within the framework of environmental impact assessments. Its building-research arm addresses Austria's diverse and lively monument landscape, examining historic buildings. The company is recorded in Wikidata as a company in Vienna, Austria. It operates as a private company and its website is novetus.at. The available evidence does not specify its founding year, founders, ownership structure or executive leadership.

Novetus GmbH is an Austrian company based in Vienna that works in the fields of archaeology and building research. Public evidence about the firm is limited: its official website describes its service portfolio, and Wikidata records it simply as a company in Vienna, Austria. The available sources do not state a founding year, founders, ownership history or leadership, so a detailed corporate chronology cannot be reconstructed from the supplied evidence. What is clear from the company's own presentation is the scope of its activity. Novetus describes itself as a partner for archaeology and building research, addressing clients from private house construction to large infrastructure projects. Its archaeological work covers prospection, preliminary investigation and excavation, carried out by trained archaeological personnel using modern technical methods so that archaeological sites are properly excavated, documented and recovered. A major strand of the business is infrastructure-related archaeology. Before road, rail, wind-farm and pipeline projects, Novetus carries out preliminary archaeological investigations such as archive and aerial-photograph research, geophysics and field-walking prospection, followed by construction supervision and excavation. The company's website names several road and rail construction projects commissioned by ASFINAG (Austria's motorway and expressway financing company) and ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways), as well as wind parks and pipeline construction, as examples of this work. The firm also offers rescue excavations, recognising that despite careful planning and preliminary surveys, clients can still be confronted unexpectedly with archaeological finds. Novetus positions this service as a way to handle the necessary ground-monument protection measures quickly and flexibly in order to avoid construction delays. In addition, it provides environmental impact assessment (UVP) services and expert reports, including environmental impact declarations for material and cultural assets within environmental impact assessment procedures. Its building-research practice engages with Austria's varied historic building landscape. Because the evidence does not include founding details, ownership, financial information or executive names, this dossier remains focused on the company's stated services and market positioning rather than a dated corporate history.
