Greenfield Transport Infrastructure Development

Developing transport infrastructure demands foresight, expertise and a deep understanding of political landscapes and commercial dynamics. Our team specialises in the development of investment grade demand and revenue forecasts, assessing addressable markets and drivers of market share. Having access to OE’s comprehensive set of integrated economic forecasts, we offer a unique ability to integrate both top-down macroeconomic narratives with detailed land use and project-specific developments. With a keen appreciation of risks and opportunities we provide invaluable insights to drive project success, whether you’re assessing market feasibility or potential market entry. 

Due diligence supporting investment in existing transport infrastructure

Investing in existing transport infrastructure demands meticulous due diligence to mitigate risks and maximise returns. Our team specialises in providing independent and robust advice to the sell and buy side, backed by a structured approach and thorough analysis of risks and opportunities such as those resulting from random and non-random events. We understand the nuances of investor and lender expectations, guiding you seamlessly through the transaction process. We support the production of asset valuations for a range of requirements and our advice support allows you to make informed decisions.

Maximising the value of existing transport assets

Unlocking the full potential of your business requires a keen understanding of market dynamics and consumer behaviour. Our team excels in identifying opportunities to optimise products and prices, thereby maximising your return on investment. Our approach is founded on innovative methodological frameworks and analytic approaches, blending big data, consumer insight, and pricing strategies for sustainable revenue growth. With our expertise, you can harness the power of your existing assets to drive profitability and long-term success.

Understanding the economic impact of transport projects

Our highly skilled team, located across the globe, is familiar with the unique requirements and assumptions applied in impact studies across different jurisdictions and the need for a highly tailored solution to ensure relevance for each project. Our economic impact and cost-benefit analysis experts operate alongside our transport experts ensuring consistent and comprehensive solutions to help secure approval and funding for projects. Use of tried and tested templates/approaches means that we can efficiently develop economic assessments, with confidence that the methods we use have been successfully applied on numerous projects previously.

Dispute support

Our team specialises in providing expert witness support, drawing from a wealth of knowledge amassed from over 200 privately financed transportation projects. What sets us apart is our ability to articulate technical concepts with utmost clarity, ensuring that non-technical audiences grasp the intricacies of the matter at hand, equipped with clear insights and expert guidance.
