Transport

Access is the key to unlocking many new developments. Buro Happold’s transport team provides advice and support on all aspects of transportation, from strategic transport plans and site accessibility to road engineering and traffic management.

With a wide range of experience gained on a variety of large-scale developments and regeneration projects worldwide, our transportation team pride themselves on their close-knit partnerships with clients and local authorities to implement workable, economical and sustainable solutions. Notable projects that have benefitted from the team’s planning and services include Heathrow’s T3 Futures Forecourt, Ascot Racecourse’s redevelopment along with the regeneration of Gloucester docks, Wembley’s redevelopment, Dorset Transport and Environment Plan, Kuwait University and Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City.

The team’s core services lie in feasibility studies; transport planning; traffic engineering; highways engineering; infrastructure design; masterplanning; urban and public realm design; logistics advice; car park design and appraisal; travel planning, along with people flow modelling and transportation modelling.

As part of an integrated buildings and infrastructure team they are able to draw on a dynamic range of skills from across the company and with a track record in both public and private sector projects they are able to tackle complex challenges, such as connecting new developments to existing transport hubs and interchanges.

Early involvement in the design process enables our transportation team to add value to the whole life of the project.
