Urban Transport & Public Domain
Urban Transport & Public Domain
Our Urban Transport team delivers comprehensive mobility and public domain solutions across Australia, offering exceptional support from initial concept planning through to detailed design and construction. We pride ourselves on a flexible and rigorous design approach, capable of operating within the Normal Design Domain (NDD), applying the Extended Design Domain (EDD) where constraints exist, and expertly managing Design Exceptions (DE) to achieve safe, practical outcomes.
Our expertise bridges the gap between strategic planning and on-ground delivery. We provide robust support in options analysis, cost estimation, and utilities coordination, ensuring that complex transport and open space projects are delivered on time and budget. Whether for major urban corridors, council parks, or private developments, our team ensures seamless project management and technical excellence at every stage.
More on What We Do
- For existing lakes, dams and waterways, we'll inspect the walls that contain them to ensure they are secure.
- For building bridges, we advise in aspects such as, where to place the bridge, where to stop, and whether or not explosives can safely be used.
- For building on mine sites, we determine the technical planning elements such as where they can be safely located.
- For building roads, we determine elements such as where the drainage culverts and bridges need to be placed.
- As technical specialists, we provide reports on how to complete a build efficiently, safely and legally compliant, by providing the technical specifications and the steps needed. We even sometimes oversee a build by providing our specialist expertise.
