Transportation engineering

A significant increase in passenger numbers at Queenstown Airport put pressure on many parts of the existing infrastructure. ViaStrada developed multiple concept through to design plans including significant changes to the roading network and car and coach parking areas. All proposed works were incorporated in a staged Master Plan.

ViaStrada was commissioned by New Plymouth District Council to undertake cycling facilities scheme development and improvements for pedestrians and public transport along four key corridors, followed by detailed design of some of those corridors. We engaged many sub-consultants to resource this project, managing to meet a punishing timeline. Waka Kotahi stakeholders called it the standout project amongst the Transport Choices programme.

Let's Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) engaged ViaStrada to undertake several safe system audits of proposed corridor and intersection upgrades around Wellington City, with a particular focus on safer multi-modal journeys. A series of separate road corridor improvements and site-specific targeted improvements were designed by two engineering consortia. ViaStrada was then engaged to review these draft designs and to provide safety audit feedback and recommendations.
