Transport

In the race to Net Zero, sustainable transport systems will play a vital role in securing a greener future for our society.

Our specialists deliver highly effective transport solutions to connect communities and places and help build a low carbon future. Our multidiscipline team delivers the full range of transportation schemes, from active travel and green transport initiatives to transport hubs and major road, rail, marine and aviation projects. We support local authorities and regional transport bodies across the UK to help shape their strategies and deliver their transport objectives.

Our expertise covers transport assessments, modelling and traffic engineering in addition to detailed infrastructure design and delivery. We are also highly experienced at providing environmental assessments for noise, vibration and air quality, and delivering sustainable transport projects such as Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIP) to encourage active travel and healthy places.

We help our clients make informed decisions and provide key information to stakeholders and members of the public so they can understand the environmental impacts and benefits of planned transportation schemes. Our assessments are informative, whilst also making key recommendations to reduce environmental impact, strengthening planning proposals.

Our portfolio also includes multiple development led transport projects for the private sector, often involving advising clients at the public inquiry stage, as well as progressing detailed designs supporting transport infrastructure for industrial, commercial and residential developments. Together with our breadth of capability in environmental assessment and transport planning, our detailed knowledge of statutory requirements and local government procedures means we can manage projects throughout the public consultation and enquiry process.

“We’re at the forefront of unlocking the UK’s regional potential through a vast range of significant transport infrastructure schemes such as HS2, the Northern Powerhouse rail network and strategic highways. We’re also responding to the climate emergency by helping to make active travel a safe and obvious choice, particularly for new development sites and in urban areas.”
