Customised planning to meet unique requirements

Every airport presents a unique environment, requiring different planning solutions to optimise its performance. We will help you develop planning solutions that meet your specific operational requirements.

Our services range from the development of your airport’s airside assets to terminal area planning and landside access plans.

We spend a lot of time consulting with our airports clients, their operators and their communities, as this is critical to making sure we get your airport solution right. We combine our team’s airfield planning, engineering and architectural experience with specialist input from our statutory planning and transportation experts.

We have extensive experience using international and local standards and recommended practices, such as those contained in ICAO, NZCAA, CASA MOS139 requirements and IATA documentation. 

To analyze an existing airside manoeuvring area or develop new airside layouts, we use AviPLAN modelling software. This software simulates aircraft maneuvering, ground services activities, airbridge operations and jet-blast envelopes. We also have extensive experience with modelling Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) using LiDAR digital terrain models, combined with 3-D CAD surface renders.

Our broad range of planning skills and experience can be applied to your airfield planning, terminal area planning, forecourts and access; and to the wider issues of district planning and masterplan protection provisions.
