Strategic expertise across the transportation infrastructure lifecycle
EBS provides expert services that improve the development, delivery, and long-term operation of transportation infrastructure.
We support clients in delivering infrastructure that is safe, integrated, resilient, and sustainable – from early strategic definition through to whole-life asset management.
We do this by assessing client and key stakeholder early requirements and identifying the expert input resource required to set a robust course . We provide you with information and options to move forward and flexibility to decide what you require to achieve objectives and provide value for money and maintain control.
The whole project life cycle can then be supported with customised and expert resource to optimise outcomes.
What we do
We bring together highly experienced professionals to support all stages of transportation infrastructure projects, ensuring robust decision-making, effective delivery, and safe operation in increasingly complex environments. Support areas include :
Assessing your unique urban and transport environment to identify start point and road map with milestones to achieve an integrated transport system.
Value Management and robust optioneering to set and maintain your project of in the right direction
Planning Applications and Transport and Works Act Order
Innovation opportunities
Procurement methods and contracts to get the best out of the market
Risk Management including safety and commercial
Integrated technical assurance.
Our network of specialists can also provide expertise in other areas of requirement.
Early stage project definition and strategic direction
Clear objectives, delivery strategies, and informed decision-making from the outset.
What are the characteristics of your city or town from a transport perspective?
We will identify what the current provisions are and where the key opportunities for change are. What comes next to give the optimum set of benefits in the shortest timescale? What are the stages that need to be identified to make the journey to a healthier and more sustainable urban area?
Early concepts can then be more formally progressed in to a more rigorous and scientific view and developed in to economic and business plans.
Along this journey we can advise and sense check other objectives like achieving value for money, sustainability and policy targets.
Efficient Project Management
We do not recommend large numbers of expensive project managers which will unnecessarily increase overheads and waste money. Our approach uses the latest technology to efficiently process large quantities of information and our experts ensure that the direction fits with national and global good practice as well as your objectives.
We do support robust risk and opportunity management from the earliest project stages.
Technical assurance and integration
Independent assurance to ensure robust design, integration, and scope control throughout the project lifecycle.
Asset management
Whole-life management of public and private assets to support effective development, maintenance, and operation.
This starts with good design choices that are robustly delivered in to operational assets. Understanding individual assets and the integrated picture is essential to a good outcome.
We also consider opportunities for innovation in terms of solutions and delivery methods.
Other key factors built in to the design are :
Climate change impacts
Security of assets including cyber security
Adherence to relevant standards and guidance.
