GHD recently completed a research paper examining global road safety, with a particular emphasis on the challenges faced by China and other developing countries.

China’s road network currently spans some 1.7 million kilometres and is estimated to cover 4 million kilometres by 2050. This rapid expansion is driving an increased focus on safety in conjunction with the development of an efficient road transportation network. The rapid rate of growth, urbanisation and increasing vehicle registrations, coupled with extensive road construction programs are factors leading to higher than average accident rates in these regions.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) engaged GHD to develop a National Flood Management Strategy to help manage the nation’s severe flooding problem.

The proposed strategy lays the foundation for improved flood management and renewed water management concepts, and provides options to help formulate action plans. GHD reported on the review of structural and non-structural measures and provided assessments of their effectiveness, as well as delivered a framework for flood mitigation and floodplain management, and action plans to implement new approaches.
