Scope and Projects
TDG has provided consulting services on various large projects, including examples such as wind farms, event locations like SkyCity Auckland casino or Stadium New Zealand (where they assessed the traffic and parking effects of providing a major new 60,000 seat stadium on the Auckland waterfront, and which they supported as a viable location in terms of traffic). TDG has also planned the pedestrian elements of the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.
Other projects the company has worked on include traffic modelling such as for New Zealand Transport Agency, and research reports for government entities, such as 'The Ins and Outs of Roundabouts', a safety audit of roundabout research. Another field the company is very active in is traffic survey work, having, for example, long produced the traffic volume reports of the New Zealand State Highway network for Transit New Zealand (now NZTA), and having been contracted by Christchurch City Council and also Waikato Local Authority Shared Services to gather interview traffic data from more than 25,000 drivers in the Christchurch and Waikato areas, to inform future traffic planning .
The company also advises on construction and event traffic management, such as for the APEC and V8 Supercars events.

Famous quotes containing the words scope and, scope and/or projects:
“A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Revolutions are notorious for allowing even non- participants—even women!—new scope for telling the truth since they are themselves such massive moments of truth, moments of such massive participation.”
—Selma James (b. 1930)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
