Transportation

Innovative lifecycle solutions spanning road, rail, air and sea.

LOL外围Wood has more than 50 years of proven experience in transportation project development and delivery. With global expertise in planning, design, construction, maintenance and long-term support, our customer-first solutions are tailored to the unique needs of each project and budget.

Pressure on transportation systems worldwide is mounting due to aging infrastructure, population growth, increased freight volumes and funding limitations. Today’s challenge is to maintain the integrity and increase the capacity of existing facilities to meet this demand – economically, safely and within the tight schedules required.

Our services cover the transportation facility life cycle, from planning and environmental studies to preliminary and final design, construction administration, maintenance, operations, and rehabilitation. We work closely with our customers to ensure every project delivers results that enhance communities, improve safety, respect the environment and save money.

LOL外围We incorporate the latest technologies and involve strategic partners early in the process to add innovation at every point in project development, from the use of new materials and techniques, to streamlining systems for faster project delivery. Our expertise in programme and project management, planning, and design, combined with advanced construction skills and operational experience, enables us to deliver transportation infrastructure that is safe, cost-effective, and reliable.

Innovative delivery

LOL外围Operating in locations around the world, we employ a full range of engineers, scientists, technicians, environmental specialists, planners and support personnel to meet your project needs. Our open and responsible culture encourages employees to manage risk effectively and seek ways to enhance performance for customers in areas such as project acceleration and cost savings. This culture of entrepreneurship promotes innovative discovery, design and value-adding solutions.

Across all customers and geographies

LOL外围We understand the dynamics and needs of different customers and the national environments in which they operate. Spanning national, state, provincial and municipal governments, private sector operators of toll highways, freight rail operators and transit and transport agencies, port and harbour authorities, airports and aviation agencies, mining, energy production/distribution, and private industries, our innovative skills are reinforced by decades of experience delivering infrastructure that meets and exceeds objectives.

Highways and roads

Our expertise has been put into practice on a wide range of urban, suburban, rural and industrial roadway projects from the Arctic to the tropics and in coastal, mountainous and desert terrains. We have experience with facilities such as:

• Limited-access freeways, expressways, motorways and toll facilities
• Multi-lane urban arterials and collector roads
• Simple and complex interchanges
• Rural roads and highways
• Port and airport roadways and infrastructure
• Heavy-haul roads for oil, gas and mineral exploration

Bridges and structures

LOL外围Wood helps local, state, provincial and federal governments as well as private industry clients to evaluate, improve, replace and build new bridges. We have a comprehensive program for bridge planning, engineering, monitoring, maintenance and construction management that brings creative solutions to complex challenges. We have the experience and capability to deliver any bridge type such as short-, medium- and long-span girders, curved and box girder structures, segmental, arches, trusses, and cable-supported structures. Our expertise includes grade and water crossings for practically every functional category:

• Highway bridges
• Transit and freight rail bridges
• Heavy- load bridges
• Pedestrian bridges
• Pipeline and special-use bridges

Our expertise in providing specialist access and protective coatings solutions for the iconic Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland and London's Tower Bridge represent an innovative approach involving single-source technical support services.

Airports

For more than five decades, we have served the needs of airports and aviation customers by creatively addressing engineering and environmental challenges. We have the combination of knowledge, resources and skills needed to deliver cost-effective, efficient and environmentally sensitive solutions.

LOL外围Our professionals are experienced in resolving issues through multidisciplinary planning, environmental services, engineering and design, and construction and construction management services. We have supported public sector and private industry clients at major international gateways, domestic hubs, regional/municipal airports and military aviation installations worldwide.

This expertise is exemplified in our role at London's Heathrow airport, where we are a core member of the integrated design team supporting its current expansion programme/DCO submission, one of the most significant major infrastructure projects currently underway in the UK.

Ports and marine

We provide specialist services at every stage of the project. By using integrated supply chain planning, geographic information systems (GIS) and dynamic simulation modelling, we can select the optimum transportation routes and modes of transport. We combine these planning skills with multidiscipline engineering expertise to select, design and construct port and intermodal sites that optimise capacities and handling rates.

LOL外围Our experience of working in the extreme conditions of the Arctic, developing marine and overland transportation routes for mining projects, and developing terminal facilities in exposed and remote locations internationally all help make us a flexible and global partner for developers of port and marine infrastructure.

We also provide specialised marine weather forecasting services, providing operational support to offshore oil companies, major marine contractors and vessel operators.

Rail and transit

Wood has been providing a full range of environmental, engineering and consulting services to our passenger and freight rail customers for more than three decades. We have a thorough understanding of the technical, logistical and regulatory challenges associated with rail projects, from system-wide programmes to individual site improvements.

LOL外围We draw on a broad base of personnel with rail experience – engineers, environmental scientists and support staff – and geographic reach to support our customers' needs, regardless of project size or complexity. The clientele we serve includes:

• Heavy-haul freight railroad operators
• Mining, oil & gas and energy exploration
• National and regional passenger rail agencies
• Rail management companies
• Short-line railroads
• Transit authorities (light rail, commuter rail and subway systems)
