Engineering services · Practice 02

Parking, access and swept paths, resolved before construction locks them in.

Parking compliance, driveway and access design, loading and servicing assessments, sight-distance reviews and vehicle swept-path analysis.

Requirements vary by site, user class, vehicle type, council controls and the applicable edition of the standard, so each assessment is built around the project rather than a set of default figures.

15Carpark demand assessmentStatutory parking rates don't know your site — a demand assessment does.
19Vehicle access assessmentGet this wrong and a truck can't reach your loading dock.
06Swept path analysis (vehicle tracking)A design that looks fine on paper can still be too narrow for the vehicle it's built for.
17Driveway designA steep site doesn't have to mean a rejected DA.
18Pedestrian sight line assessmentOne of the most overlooked reasons a DA gets knocked back.
20Parking & traffic surveysAssumptions get DAs rejected. Data gets them approved.
