For more than 70 years, GHD has planned, investigated, designed and delivered innovative road systems in urban and rural environments in many parts of the world.
Road systems design involves a collaborative vision and approach by a team of competent planners, engineers and scientists. From planning and procurement through to feasibility, investigation, design, construction support, delivery and maintenance. Our clients enjoy personalised solutions for roads that incorporate master planning, funding and economic analysis, transport planning, asset management, environmental management, risk management and more.
Our work has included rehabilitation, expansion, development rehabilitation and construction of new highways, complex interchanges, roundabouts, toll roads, bridges and tunnels. Our planners and engineers provide integrated services to plan, design, construct, revamp, maintain and manage all aspects of the road corridor life cycle.
GHD's Road Systems teams are able to respond to projects that range from an urban or rural intersection design to multi-billion dollar complex highways and freeways both at, above and below ground level. Our depth of experience and diverse skills base ensures that we provide the right team to deliver the best project for our clients.
We are innovative and flexible in our approach to managing and delivering our projects. We are able to work independently or in collaboration with other design teams, alongside clients and contractor teams either in our offices or dedicated project offices to suite the project needs.
