A well-designed site must be accessible for more than just cars. From emergency fire tenders and refuse collection vehicles to heavy articulated HGVs, your infrastructure needs to accommodate "service vehicles" without compromising safety or damaging kerbs.
At Ellipsis Consulting Eningeers Ltd, we use industry-standard AutoTrack and CAD software to simulate vehicle movements, ensuring your site layout is fully functional and compliant with local authority standards.
Swept Path Analysis (SPA): We provide digital "vehicle tracking" overlays for your site plans. This proves that specific vehicles can safely navigate junctions, turn within cul-de-sacs, and access loading bays without overhanging footways or striking buildings.
Emergency & Service Vehicle Routing: We map the precise routes for fire appliances and refuse trucks, ensuring compliance with Building Regulations Part B (Fire Safety) and local waste management requirements.
Junction & Access Design: We design site entrances and internal junctions based on the "design vehicle" for your project—whether that’s a standard delivery van or a 16.5m articulated lorry.
Visibility Splay Analysis: We calculate and map the required "X" and "Y" distances at site entrances to ensure drivers have a clear line of sight, satisfying the safety requirements of the Local Highway Authority.
Parking & Manoeuvring Layouts: We optimise car park designs to ensure bays are accessible and that "dead-end" aisles have adequate turning heads.
Avoid Costly Redesigns: Identifying a "tight" corner during the design phase is simple; fixing it once the kerbs are laid is incredibly expensive.
Secure Highway Authority Approval: Most council highways officers will not validate a planning application for a major development without a formal Swept Path Analysis.
Maximise Developable Area: By accurately modelling vehicle paths, we can reduce "wasted" road space, potentially freeing up more room for landscaping or additional units.
