Infrastructure
Transportation
DMC provides transport planning and highway engineering: data collection and analysis, demand forecasting and modelling, feasibility studies, traffic impact studies, master planning for roads and corridors, geometric and pavement design, intersection planning, BRT and metro system planning, route optimisation, signal design, ITS, and non-motorised and electric vehicle infrastructure planning.
Hero / opening
Rising population, growing travel demand and expanding freight traffic have put transport systems under pressure everywhere. Moving people and goods efficiently and safely — with less congestion and a better environment — takes more than road-building. It takes analysis.
Our transportation specialists bring analytical and technical depth across demand modelling, economic and environmental analysis, highway and traffic engineering, safety engineering, and public transport planning and operations. Our particular strength is balancing engineering and planning expertise against the environmental, economic and political realities of a scheme — at every stage, from initial feasibility through to completion.
Our people and associates have worked with high-profile public and private sector clients over many years, on expressways, major highways, and rural and urban road networks.

Also in Infrastructure
The cheapest time to find a problem is in the model.
A junction that fails at year-five demand, a corridor whose capacity gain evaporates at the next bottleneck, a BRT alignment that cannot be built where the utilities actually run — all of these are cheap to find in analysis and expensive to find on site. Bring us in early.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Does DMC plan Bus Rapid Transit systems?
Yes. BRT and metro system planning covers route optimisation, station placement, and integration with pedestrian and bicycle networks, alongside the traffic and environmental assessments such schemes require.
What does a DMC transport feasibility study cover?
Data collection and analysis, demand forecasting and modelling, options identification, infrastructure and operational planning, and operational, economic and environmental evaluation — enough to establish whether the scheme should proceed as conceived.
Does DMC design roads as well as plan them?
Yes. Geometric design (horizontal and vertical alignment), cross-section and pavement design, intersection and junction planning, detailed drawings, bills of quantities and cost estimation, followed by implementation supervision.
