Mobility for all people for improving

the quality of life, while at the same time

using natural and economic resources sen-

sibly, is essentially what society demands

of a modern transport infrastructure. De-

signing and building sustainable transport

routes create the preconditions for meet-

ing the public and private sectors ever

growing needs for mobility, for maintain-ing and improving the quality of green and

residential space and for preserving and

enhancing the attractiveness of business

locations.

n Efficient solutions

Increasingly scarce resources challenge

designers to provide economically and

ecologically efficient project solutions withregard to construction and operation. These

solutions must have a low impact on nature

and the environment, be acceptable to the

directly affected population, affordable

to society as well as comfortable, reliable

and safe.

To enable designers to meet the inter-

disciplinary requirements, it is necessary to

use team- and target-oriented work methods

and swift design processes. This approach

guarantees top-quality and cost-focussed

solutions that are completed on time while

taking account of all aspects of a transport

and traffic project such as design and con-

struction, nature and environment, transport

and operation.

From the start, ILFs corporate philosophy

has enabled its engineers to successfully

complete a wide range of transport and traffic

projects in railway, road and airport construc-

tion to the fullest satisfaction of its clients. ILF

employs qualified engineers with many years

of experience in designing and providing

expert support to transport projects, using

comprehensive specialist software and

organisational measures in line with quality

assurance principles.

It is the aim of ILF Consulting Engineers to

offer their clients complete in-house services

for a project. When planning and carrying outsuch projects, ILF can draw upon specialist

disciplines such as tunnelling, construction

engineering, water engineering, mechanical

and electrical engineering, geology and

environment, occupational safety and health

management. During the project preparation

stage and project execution stage, ILF under-

takes the coordination of safety and health

plans as well as site supervision and project

management.M o b i l i t y i s

As mobility is increasingly shifting

towards private motorised transport, the

road in all its forms - from access roads

to motorways - constitutes the most im-

portant element of a modern traffic andtransport system.

n Transportation mode: road

Today, the design and construction of

roads not only requires expert qualification

but also special environmental awareness,and as such constitutes an essential pre-

requisite for the feasibility of road and

motorway projects.

Adhering to this principle, ILF Consult-

ing Engineers have rendered design and

consulting services for many successful road

construction projects in the past years. These

projects have included the construction,

upgrade and rehabilitation of cycle paths,

park & ride facilities, and roads from local

highways through to major trunk connections

and motorways.

ILF Consulting Engineers ensure overall

project success by integrating qualifiedexperts, available mostly in-house, into

the design team. Other focal points of road

projects are the organisation and conduct

of public relations activities that ILF carries

out together with experienced professionals

after contract award.

n ILFs design services for road

and motorway projects include

the following:

Studies of alternatives, route selectionprocedures, feasibility studies and

economic analyses

o f r a i l w a y r o u t e sn Transportation mode: rail

The growing need for mobility and the

evident limits of growth, with the resulting

call for environmental protection and con-

servation of natural resources, bring railway

transport back into focus.

The attractiveness of railway transport

can only be increased by implementing a wide

range of measures aimed at creating and

maintaining a modern rail infrastructure.

ILF Consulting Engineers design services

have contributed significantly to the success

of numerous projects carried out in many

different countries to the satisfaction of the

customers. The services encompass both the

construction of new high-speed railway linesand the modernisation of existing lines for

standard-gauge and narrow-gauge railways.

Just as in road construction, in rail trans-

port ILF pays great attention to an interdisci-

plinary project development and to the pro-

tection of the environment.

railway projects, ILF Consulting

Engineers offer the following

services:

Studies of alternatives, route selec-

tion procedures, feasibility studies and

economic analyses

n Urban transport systems

The quality of public transport significant-

ly influences the attractiveness of large cities

in terms of housing, living and working.

In order to meet future needs and to avoid

such problems as traffic jams, additional traf-

fic generated by the search for parking spaces,

as well as noise and air pollution, many large

cities today promote the use of underground

and city railway systems. These transport

systems are generally very complex in nature,

requiring extensive engineering structures

(tunnels, bridges, etc.) and imposing great

demands on engineering offices as regards

interdisciplinary project management.

In order to perform the design tasks

involved in these projects in a professional

manner, ILF draws upon its pool of qualifieddesigners with many years of experience in

construction projects at home and abroad.

The scope of services includes underground

and city railway systems, from modernising

and upgrading existing lines to constructing

new ones.

ILF is also well versed in implementing

projects which are realised under public-

private partnerships.

n Rapidly growing airports

The significance of modern airports can

best be understood by looking at the rapid

increase in air traffic. The last ten years haveseen a two-digit growth rate in air traffic,

passenger and freight volumes, creating a

pressing need for forward-looking concepts

for airports. Competent overall design is a

prerequisite for making optimum use of the

existing and future potential of airports.

Together with their associated partners

ILF Consulting Engineers offer services for

airside facilities and airport equipment and

technology. As regards implementation, we

offer advisory and consulting services to the

airport management, from conceptual design

to construction supervision.

The airports at Vienna, Berlin, Leipzig,

Stuttgart, Auckland, Washington Dulles and

many others are proof of the capabilities of

ILF and its partners.

n Noise control

Today, large parts of the population are

exposed to traffic noise, which reduces their

quality of life. When designing and buildingnew traffic routes, noise protection plays

an important role when it comes to public

discussion and acceptance of infrastructure

projects.

Noise control measures are increas-

ingly also required along existing main

traffic routes to protect current residential

areas from steadily growing noise levels and

to prepare prospective residential areas for

development.

ILF has long-standing project experience

in developing and implementing effective and

environmentally acceptable noise protectionmeasures along traffic routes.

n Focus on safety

One of the fields of expertise where ILF

is well known in Europe is safety and risk

management, especially for road and railway

tunnels as well as underground railways and

other infrastructure projects.

In recent years constructional safety

measures and organisational requirements

have become the central issues in permit-

ting procedures. Triggered by catastrophic

accidents such as the fires in the Montblanc

and Tauern road tunnels and in Kaprun, safety

issues have become the centre of public

attention and play a decisive role in the de-

sign, construction and operation of modern

infrastructure projects.

In order to establish safety-specific

design fundamentals and a sound decision-making basis, potential hazards and risks

entailed in the operation or transport are

systematically specified and quantified. This

serves to establish the technical project

requirements and to define them in the form

of equipment concepts and basic emergency

response strategies. Prior to opening the

facility to traffic, these concepts are further

developed into detailed organisation charts

and emergency response plans.

ILFs capabilities are based on many

years of professional know-how, compre-

hensive international project experience and

close contact across Europe with the bodies

entrusted with the further development of

safety and risk management.
