Full Transport Planning services from inception and feasibility through to planning, post-permission and detailed design.
We work with everyone from developers to local authorities, in the private and public sectors. Our projects range in scale from single unit developments through to large scale town centre regeneration and urban extensions. Our work includes Transport Assessments, Transport Planning, Accessibility Planning, Transport Modelling and Safety Audits.
Our highly experienced teams also provide expert witness and appeal support for public inquiries and court hearings.
We operate from regional offices across the UK, bringing local knowledge with national perspective. Transport Planning that is effective, sustainable and innovative.
We have an impressive track record of providing professional advice on a wide range of infrastructure projects. Our experienced team of design engineers and flood risk specialists work with both private and public sector clients to engineer solutions to your development problems.
Our enthusiastic in-house design teams utilise the latest highway design and drainage software to complement their technical and management skills, enabling us to deliver highway infrastructure projects on time and budget.
We have a passion for the precision required to deliver your highway infrastructure projects and our design teams work closely with our transport planning teams to provide a seamless transition from planning through design to implementation on site.
We offer our wealth of experience to assist with contract administration and supervision roles, ensuring designs are not only implemented but signed off by the adopting authority.
We have an impressive track record in the design of rail interchanges, in relation to new stations and improvements to existing stations.
Our Skills range from the initial feasibility studies demonstrating how an interchange could operate in the future to allow for growth in different access modes, through to work in relation to the detailed implementation of new and improved stations, including the pedestrian capacity studies to ensure the Station is correctly designed and the detailed operational plans demonstrating how the Bus Interchange, the Taxi Set Down and Pick Up, the vehicle interchange and the car parking would work.
A lot of our projects relate to how station interchanges can be modified to create development opportunities at railway stations. We are very familiar with the Network Rail approvals criteria, in particular the GRIP Stages and the Forms 1,2,3 and 4 required as part of the Station Change Process.
We provide pre-planning advice, feasibility studies and screening assessments that enable clients to make financially informed decisions regarding site development.
Our services include detailed environmental monitoring and modelling, as well as delivery of technical reports in accordance with UK guidance and industry standards. We provide expert witness testimony and aid in the discharge of conditions, supporting the construction process in the post planning stage.
Areas of expertise include Construction Environmental Management, Acoustic and Vibration Assessment, Air Quality Assessment and Waste Management Strategy.
Road Safety Audit Standard HD 19/15 requires all strategic road schemes to have an independent Road Safety Audit.
A Road Safety Audit is a systemic process for checking the road safety of new schemes or amendments to existing highway features. We identify road safety problems and measures to eliminate or reduce the risk of incidents. Measures are based on sound safety principles and are cost proportionate to the scheme.
We provide detailed mapping for Design, Planning and Engineering purposes. Our services include Topographic and Engineering Surveys for detailed mapping of any site ranging from a single building plot to potential development areas of 1000+ houses, 3D Laser Scanning and Measured Building Surveys for accurate elevation and internal surveys of buildings both historical and modern. We also provide a Setting Out service for housing and structures and Survey Control to any coordinate systems using GPS and Total station.
In addition, we can provide more bespoke information such as hydrological and flood plain mapping for Flood Risk Assessment.
If you have a requirement for the capture of spatial data contact our experienced team to discuss the most efficient way of capturing and presenting this information.
