Road Planning & Construction

EBC have considerable experience in the development and implementation of community engagement programs and the assessment of the social impacts of road planning and construction projects. Specific approaches to the presentation of 'technical' information to communities and the integration of local knowledge with technical assessments are often core elements of community engagement and impact assessment processes. In addition the use of participatory multiple criteria analysis (MCA) has been developed as an effective tool through which to examine options associated with road planning and construction.
