Summary

Project Overview

Client: Private property developer
Location: Takanini, Auckland
Scope: Traffic engineering and transport planning for a mixed-use Town Centre
Challenges: Balancing access and circulation for multiple uses, assessing network capacity, integrating public transport, and securing local authority approvals

Our Approach

Comprehensive Traffic and Access Design
TPC designed vehicle access and internal circulation layouts to support the full range of land uses. We ensured efficient and safe movement for customers and service vehicles, while enhancing pedestrian connectivity throughout the centre.

Traffic Modelling and Network Analysis
Using SIDRA traffic modelling, our team analysed intersection capacity and forecasted traffic generation. This analysis informed the design of road improvements needed to accommodate the future transport demands of the Town Centre.

Signalised Intersection Design and Authority Engagement
We completed the detailed design for new traffic signal-controlled intersections and led the Engineering Plan Approval process with the Local Authority. Our team worked closely with council representatives to ensure compliance and expedite approvals.

Key Outcomes

Designed efficient vehicle and pedestrian routes to support a high-activity town centre
Delivered intersection upgrades based on SIDRA modelling and projected demand
Ensured smooth connectivity with existing public transport services in Takanini
