Road Safety Engineering and Road Design
We specialise in reducing crash risk on mining road networks, access roads, internal roads and car parks.
With over 20 years of experience in road safety engineering, road design and traffic management research, technical guidance development, we adopt a first principles approach to road safety auditing, traffic management plan auditing and development and road design development.
We will support you in managing your network within a Road Safety Risk Management Framework, reducing vehicle-related workplace risks and improving safety outcomes.
Together, we can create a safer environment where every person returns home safely.
We can help you reduce:
-
Legal and regulatory risk
-
Vehicle incidents (e.g. intersection, vehicle-to-vehicle, rollover and vehicle-over-embankment)
-
Vehicle-to-pedestrian incidents (e.g. ROM pads, fuel and wash down areas, processing, office, change facilities & workshop areas)
Provide fit for purpose solutions to:
-
Improve traffic flow (productivity) without increasing crash risk
-
Improve on-road freight productivity and reduce costs
-
Increased on and off-site driver compliance
-
Demonstrate benefits to the community
-
Enable the use of local government roads
-
Reduce road construction and maintenance costs

First principles knowledge
We know guidelines and standards.
Our experience spans across the mining sector and public road governance.
Having sat on national standards committees and national and international working groups, our team has a sound understanding of best practices. We also understand the principles behind these documents and have applied these within the mining industry to:
-
Develop Road Design Guides
-
Undertake Road Safety Audits and Develop Traffic Management Plans
-
Undertake Safe System Geometric, Intersection and Car Park Road Concept Designs.
-
Develop Road Safety Strategies and Frameworks that manage HV & LV interactions and separate pedestrians and vehicle movements.
We can't share our works with mining clients, however, we can share our published reports from the public road sector. These have signifigant overlap with managing road safety risk on mine sites and public access roads.
The following are clients our Managing Director worked with on road safety, road design, traffic management projects and technical guideline development over the past 15 years.
