Transport Services
UIP provides comprehensive, integrated and innovative development design – transport services, to public and private clients over a range of skill areas. Our services range large scale event based car parking strategy to small area but intensive design.
We help developers/architects address challenges facing the transport in a variety of ways, such as supporting the development of an appropriate strategy, optimising investment plans, developing
new design solutions, reducing operational costs and improving customer services.
We have a team of dedicated transport experts with a proven track record of delivering results for government and the private sector
We have a long and successful track record in working with developers and designers to develop world class plans for a range of developments, at city scale, large urban centres, Eco towns and Hi-Tech developments. We are continually asked to be involved in these studies because we add real value to the design process. We do not simply provide analysis, we are pro-active in identifying issues,
developing solutions and making practical and achievable recommendations to improve the quality of the development.

Key benefits
Safety
Through our detailed and robust analysis, and working in conjunction with designers, we ensure that the developed design presents the safest option for all users. We can eliminate conflicts and congestion areas (pinch points) by analysing movement and
capacity through the use of leading-edge analysis tools and techniques.
Efficiency
Our analysis ensures that the developed design is optimised
in terms of spatial layout and traffic organisation, ensuring that
circulation is as efficient as possible. In practical terms this means that we ensure that access to, egress from and circulation within the
development is appropriate for the various users of the development, eliminating conflicts and ensuring that an attractive environment is created
Economics
Our work can be used to understand the economic viability of development schemes. From straightforward analysis of whether the proposed access to a development is sufficient for the numbers of people to be attracted to or generated by the development to analysis of footfall in specific areas or actual economic appraisals of the environment, we can add value in this area
Value-engineering
Through our analysis it is possible to ‘design-out’ excess. By that we
mean that our work allows us to provide accurate requirements for
infrastructure that is for purpose so that the implementation of
unnecessary facilities is avoided. We also ensure that facilities are not
too few or space too small, avoiding the need to implement additional infrastructure at a later date – a costly exercise. So, we can save our client significant implementation cost.
Approvals
As well as having depth and robustness, our analysis is very visual,
particularly our 3D visualizations of our analysis which can be used
to present and demonstrate the validity of a scheme to a range of
stakeholders, technical and non-technical, and is extremely helpful in
gaining approvals for schemes.
