Transportation needs are inherently linked to land-use across social and economic activities. Our teams of globally-connected specialists understand transportation challenges in multiple sectors, and provide integrated services throughout the entire project life cycle.
We assist clients from initial policy, transportation planning, economics and business case advice, through to concept, procurement, detailed design, construction, operations, maintenance, and asset management. Our talented professionals assist clients to develop sustainable solutions that balance infrastructure investment with demand reduction, land-use strategies and system efficiencies, to provide a lasting benefit for communities.
Transportation services
Air and Noise

The potential for air quality, odour, and noise impacts resulting from industrial, mining, and infrastructure projects continues to rate amongst the highest concerns for nearby communities.
Aviation

Integral to a transport network, airports provide the means to rapidly connect cities and countries.
Bridges

Bridges are critical and high value elements of transportation infrastructure that play an essential role in linking communities. Bridge design needs to consider context, function, impact on the environment, whole of life and capital cost and above all the devil is in the detail.
Digital Design

Successful collaboration is essential to integrate end-user requirements into project delivery. This requires adopting systems and approaches at the outset to improve safety, value and efficiency outcomes.
Engagement, Communication and Communities

Understanding issues that are relevant to stakeholders and communities is the foundation of stakeholder engagement.
Future Energy

The global energy transition is not just a transformation of energy systems. It’s a transformation of communities and economies. We’ve reached an important tipping point in this journey with many industries making bold decisions to enable swift changes.
Geotechnical

Effectively investigating, assessing, evaluating and monitoring the suitability, risks and properties of site ground conditions for any project, are an essential part of successful delivery.
Hydrogen

GHD is at the leading edge of some of the boldest and largest hydrogen projects in Australia and around the world.
Impact Assessment and Permitting
Intelligent transport systems

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) is an integral component of design and management solutions for all transport sectors.
Maritime and Coastal Engineering

Maritime developments often pose unique challenges. They must be sensitively designed, attractive, functional, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
Materials Technology

There are increasing requirements for asset owners to procure new assets at an optimum balance of capital expenditure and quality to achieve the required service, while minimising operating costs.
Railways

Rail transport, unlike many other technological advancements, has a major impact on sustainable economic outcomes.
Road Systems

Population growth, aging infrastructure, rising congestion, and increasing concerns for road safety are putting pressure on existing land transport networks, challenging road authorities to reconsider strategy and adopt a whole-of-life approach.
Roundabouts

Well-designed roundabouts improve capacity, safety, and offer other benefits such as aesthetics and air quality when compared to traditional intersection solutions. Designing a roundabout is different from designing a signalized intersection.
Structures

Structures, whether they are for residential, commercial, industrial or other uses, should be functional, cost-efficient, attractive and safe.
Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering

Transportation is inherently about the mobility of people, goods and services, for both work and leisure, and the most effective ways to achieve this.
Tunnels

To meet the needs of our ever-growing populations and urbanisations, underground spaces are becoming increasingly important.
What sets GHD apart from other consultants is that you get us, you get why we are here. You understand the science and your passion for it is refreshingly infectious. Other consultants are transactional, GHD are collaborative. This is why we engaged you.
