The Riverina Anglican School is expected to experience significant growth over the next few years and a masterplan was prepared in order to allow 1,505 students, 140 staff, and an Early Learning Centre to be accommodated on-site. Amber provided traffic engineering and transportation planning advice to help develop the masterplan. We prepared a Traffic Impact Assessment which included a SIDRA intersection modelling analysis of the nearby intersections based on traffic survey data collected in the area. We also prepared a Car Parking Demand Assessment to determine the level of parking required to meet the future demands. School projects require careful consideration to ensure vulnerable road users are seperated from vehicle movements and we always design with safety in mind.

Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport project and it involves the construction and operation of a metro railway line around 23 kilometres in length between St Marys in the north and the Aerotropolis Core precinct in the south. The team at Amber provided specialist traffic engineering advice to the project team to help advise on the design of the road network surrounding the stations. Specialist inputs were required in relation to bus, private vehicle, cycling, and pedestrian movements to ensure the stations and surrounding public environment operate in a safe and efficient manner.

Amber provided technical guidance and design development on a proposed upgrade to grain silos in the Riverina.

The project involved coordination with the local government and officers from TfNSW to confirm the access strategy, noting impacts to guardrail infrastructure and the large size of trucks anticipated.

An agreed way forward was able to be identified to provide the project team certainty for the long-term future of the project.

Our client has undertaken a feasibility study of the potential to provide an aluminium can manufacturing facility near Wagga Wagga. The project aims to reduce the impacts of transporting aluminium from overseas by using local resources. Our task was to provide a logistics assessment to determine the expected cost of transporting the raw and finished material around Australia to assist in determining whether the project was viable. We have a wide client base in renewable and sustainable projects and enjoy working towards a net zero Australia.

The Winterbourne Wind Farm is one of Australia’s largest wind farm projects in NSW. Amber was engaged as the traffic engineering consultants for the project to assess the access route for large plant and prepare a Traffic Impact Assessment. Key tasks included; engaging with the road authorities, traffic analysis, intersection and pavement design, and a road safety assessment. Wind farm projects provide challenging engineering problems due to the significant increase in traffic during construction and the delivery of the 80+ metre long turbine blades from the chosen delivery port. We are proud to be involved in another renewable energy project.

Amber assisted in the development of a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan for the Donald Mineral Sands project, an open pit mining operation in rural Victoria with a project life in the order of 50 years.

The TMP involved consultation and engagement with a broad range of external stakeholders and documentation of actions to manage and mitigate heavy vehicle impacts of the mine over the coming decades.
