Transportation Advisory Services

Securing the funding and investment for transport solutions require to demonstrate value for money and financial sustainability. For public and private sector projects, value for money is obtained by investing in measures which best meet social, economic and technical requirements which are specific to that project. We provide the strategies, analysis of current problems and opportunities, by demonstrating a fit with policy aims, including risk identification.

Our team includes experts in stakeholder engagement; transport planning, modelling and forecasting; economic, safety, environmental and financial analysis; scheme design technical assessments, costing; and business case preparation.

EWL have been advising Clients and have expertise to help clients secure funding and approvals for a large number of schemes and programmes including Local Sustainable Transport Fund applications, High Speed Rail, National commuter rail networks, major transport schemes, and Metro-link projects.

We work with country governments, local authorities, regions, districts, cities and to support their aspirations to develop excellent transport networks in order to accommodate the world’s growing populations, support economic vitality and most importantly protect the environment.

Our approaches include stakeholder and public consultation; transport modelling and analysis; capacity analysis, and engineering feasibility, design and costs.

Optimal traffic and transport engineering designs improve the efficiency and accessibility of our towns and new developments; and can be essential in securing planning approval. We design transport solutions to meet the needs of all cars, service vehicles, public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.

Our services include estimating trip generation of new developments, junction analysis and design, parking and pick-up/drop-off designs, internal circulation layout, signing strategies and temporary traffic management advice.

Our clients include governments, councils and developers.

Understanding travel patterns, preferences and behaviour helps transport providers to better provide for transport demand, increase market share and revenues, and meet customer expectations of quality of service.

Our teams have expertise in household and traveller surveys, traffic and passenger count design and analysis, travel time surveys, customer satisfaction surveys, attitudinal studies, and willingness to pay research (including Stated and Revealed Preference).

We deliver engineering and environmental expertise for rail schemes that are both feasible and affordable. We have advised a funding partner of Rail Link Engineering Ltd, the project management and engineering team which delivered HS1 on time and within budget. As a member of this consortium we managed the infrastructure design and construction and oversaw the construction of tunnels, bridges and viaducts, rail track and overhead catenary, in-cab signalling, power supplies and state-of-the-art telecommunication systems. Once built, we also managed the detailed programme of testing and commissioning the line.
