Intersection Design

We are experienced in assessing the performance of intersections using computer models and when required we developing practical designs for changes to intersections including traffic signals and roundabouts.

We were engaged by Waterside Business Centre to assist them in developing their land-holding in Mangere, Auckland.  This included an assessment of the best purpose of the land that involved extensive investigations and designs for developing the land as either an industrial business park or residential development. 

We subsequently undertook detailed traffic modelling, investigated intersection upgrading, assisted with subdivision design, produced an Integrated Transportation Assessment and presented evidence at a recent Plan Change hearing.

We were engaged to review the masterplan for this area that proposes 2000 new houses, a town centre, and a tertiary campus in Taupo. 

We advised on subdivision layout, street and intersection design, and connections to the road network.  The masterplan makes extensive use of cycle paths and promotes numerous pedestrian-friendly aspects. 

We were engaged by a group of landowners to assist in the development of their rural land on the western outskirts of Pukekohe.

McConnell Property partnered with Housing New Zealand to develop this 25ha block of land in Takanini to provide 450 homes and a secondary school.  McConnell Property engaged Wes Edwards Consulting to advise on the subdivision design and to assist in obtaining the necessary approvals.

This has involved the assessment of the proposed subdivision, evaluating the traffic impact on the surrounding area, considering access to public transport, and developing solutions for walking and cycling facilities.

The Pokeno Landowners Consortium (PLC) was progressing it's plans to treble the size of the Pokeno Village to a population of 5900 people with around 1800 jobs.

We were engaged to assist with Structure Planning which included studies into suitable options for crossing the North Island Main Trunk railway, key intersection modelling and design, the preparation of concept subdivision designs, and road design guidelines.
