Light Rapid Transit

The front of a metro

Our involvement in the light rapid transit sector includes:

  • Providing contract and procurement advice relating to the delivery of rail infrastructure;
  • Advising on the commercial aspects of route planning and rail vehicle selection;
  • Providing commercial support at concession company level;
  • Working with public sector clients during implementation; and
  • On a range of metro systems, preparing high level capital cost estimates for trackwork, signalling, transmission power, civil engineering and station facilities. Our cost models have been used to establish optimum route alignment.

Trams

We benchmark potential schemes against the cost of other tram systems and provide procurement advice. The commercial advice we provide can also influence rolling stock selection.

Our clients include passenger transport executives and concession companies, and we have experience looking at low cost options at the outline business case stage, including segregated bus schemes.

We can also provide capital cost estimates for the primary case topographical and generic design assumptions.
