Traffic Engineering
Our traffic engineering has resolved capacity and safety issues
at some of New Zealand's most complex intersections and
roundabouts — reducing delay, cutting conflict points, and
giving councils the evidence base to prioritise the right fix,
not just any fix
Technology
AI-driven road safety analysis, tethered UAV survey, big-data spatial analytics and real-time Google mobility data – UCL is one of the few NZ consultancies bringing this combination in-house, turning raw data into evidence that stands up in a business case
Design & Construction Management

delivery — managing risk, sequencing works, and keeping
contractors, councils and funders aligned so the project on the
ground matches the business case that was approved. We do a range of projects including private sector land development, resilience / emergency works repairs, Area Wide Pavement Treatments, roundabouts and traffic signalised intersection

We use Safe System practices to reduce deaths and serious

network-wide risk assessments that have helped secure funding
