Sixteen-year-old ITS Engineers, a consulting engineering firm specialising in transportation engineering and planning, has broadened its scope of business by establishing a transport economics and freight logistics consulting unit within the company.

Dr Hubert Joynt and Hennie Wehmeyer have been appointed to grow the unit into a sustainable arm of the business.

The unit will focus on transport economics, with the ability to complete, for example, feasibility studies, cost-benefit studies, transport economic studies, transport economic regulation, transport cost studies and due diligence investigations.

Transport and project financing will be another focus area for the unit, including project financing, transport funding and financial feasibility studies. The scope may also include toll road studies, financial strategies and financial assessments.

A final focus area will be freight logistics consulting, including overload control, value chain analysis, freight demand estimation, hazardous material strategies and freight transport studies.
