Urban planning and land development is critical to UK economic growth and sustainability. It requires a strategic vision and approach to address a range of issues.
GHD provides clients with management, planning, design, engineering, and scientific advice to inform their urban planning and land development strategies. Through our network of industry partners, we deliver an integrated service to support urban policy and governance into the delivery of built outcomes. Our civil engineering experience supports due diligence and site feasibility plans to best inform our clients' investment decisions at an early stage.
With environmental and geotechnical specialists, we develop earthwork strategies involving remediation or reuse to support our clients' sustainability goals. Contaminated land can hide large risks for clients and we bring any challenges to light through comprehensive contaminated land assessments and ground investigations. From these findings, we develop remediation strategies including ground improvement techniques to build a strategy that minimises these potential costs.
We develop pavement engineering and drainage solutions that minimise localised and strategic level flooding risks through sustainable design. Our teams work across the water industry and use this experience to develop the best water and wastewater planning and treatment arrangements for land development.
We work with clients from small, local projects to large strategic schemes and develop solutions that complement our clients' sustainable development goals. Combining multi-disciplinary capability with our strategic and experienced approach we help clients realise the best value, futureproofing, and sustainability aims for their plans.
