Koleko offers a variety of complementary services, utilised to solve complex challenges within the built environment.
Traffic engineering focuses largely on the optimal and safe flow of people and goods. It is the core of what we do, encompassing several types of studies, such as traffic impact studies, parking studies, capacity analyses and safety studies.
Traffic engineering refers to the use of engineering techniques to achieve safe and efficient movement of goods and people. It encompasses traffic impact studies, traffic calming and road closures, access management, parking studies and traffic signals.
In transportation planning we focus mainly on the planning of available and future transport infrastructure in an integrated manner, with the aim of ensuring the safe, convenient, economical and environmentally friendly movement of people and goods.
Transportation planning deals with the assessment, planning and evaluation of various transport facilities such as roads, freeways, bicycle lanes, public transport, freight corridors and hubs — identifying the problem, generating alternatives, evaluating them and identifying feasible solutions.
We address public transport and transportation systems planning by focusing on the traditional commuter rail system and high-speed rail as the backbone of integrated mobility.
Our expertise encompasses public transport, intelligent transport systems, pedestrian and bicycle planning and road safety.
Data forms the crux of any planning or design work that we do. We collect, process, analyse and interpret data. The results of these analyses give us insight into trends and problem definition.
Simulation and modelling studies, feasibility studies, cost-benefit studies, traffic surveys, outdoor advertising and parking studies are some of the other studies conducted by Koleko.
Our project management services include guidance throughout the different cycles of a project. Concepts such as integration, scope, timescale, budget, quality, human resources, communications, risk mitigation and stakeholders form part of our deliverables.
Our focus on construction supervision is to ensure compliance with the approved contract documents and other relevant requirements set in the detail design phase.
Town planning involves the planning and design of our cities, towns and places. Through our services we manage the social, environmental and economic needs of communities.
Design of a roadway entails identifying the position of physical elements of the road as per prescribed standards — geometric design, pavement design, stormwater design and traffic signals — and can include parking garages, intermodal transfer facilities and logistics hubs.
According to the United Nations, about 1.3 million people die every year in road accidents and about 50 million are injured. A Road Safety Annual Report (2013) by the International Transport Forum ranked South Africa the worst out of 36 countries when it came to road fatalities.
