RoadLab was created to ensure that the expertise, skills, and passion of this core team of civil and structural engineers were not lost or dispersed within the industry. At RoadLab we have created a platform for our team of highly skilled and personally committed engineers and specialists to continue to produce excellent results together.
Prior to forming RoadLab, our team all worked together while employed at URS NZ Ltd as part of the Auckland transportation team. Our goal is to provide the best-for-project design solutions with a focus on ensuring that all those who are touched by our work enjoy the journey.
RoadLab is serious about road design. Serious about delivering the best possible outcome for our clients. Serious about designing safer roads. Serious about innovative optioneering. Serious about delivering cost-effective solutions.
And although serious, we recognise it should be enjoyable for everyone - our Clients, our Clients’ clients and our project partners - we aspire to make the design process and project delivery an enjoyable experience. We also want the users of our roads and bridges to find it easy-going too. We work hard so everyone can enjoy the journey.
