All cities are unique, but all face similar challenges when it comes to mobility, housing, utilities, safety and employment. Tractebel Engineering assists its communities with the elaboration and implementation of infrastructure development strategies, upgrading the living and working environments of many urban communities.
Our work in the area of city and port development is a prime example of our integrated, multidisciplinary approach. We see the harmonious, complementary development of urban and harbour infrastructures as a precondition for the long-term sustainability of port cities. However, this is a complex issue which mobilises a broad range of competencies, from vision building and strategic analysis to technical implementation. As an experienced city consultant, we offer our customers an integrated service package which interfaces the various skills required to translate their development ideas into tangible results.
Under such a service package, you can leave everything to us. We will engage a process enabling the stakeholders to develop a coherent, realistic strategy for the future of their port city, built on a thorough understanding of its assets and challenges, and a clear vision of its potential. This tailor-made strategy, once adopted, will then be reflected in a series of action plans defining the tasks required for its implementation:
An organisational plan will establish the project's coordination structures and processes.
A marketing plan, which outlines the objectives and highlights differentiation aspects, will feed into a detailed communication plan.
A financial plan will analyse the required investments and the financial and economical expected returns. In addition to this analysis, our customers also benefit from our support and experience with regard to the sourcing of funds, both from public entities and private investors.
An infrastructure plan will identify the functional improvements required to develop and realise the urban and harbour infrastructures.
This development strategy will consider all aspects of the city and port as a multi-service organisation, from urban transport to utilities, industrial development to port design. We will be able to assist you in every area, including the adaptation of your public transport system and the optimisation of utilities such as waste management or the supply of water, electricity or gas.
We are also available as consulting engineers for your complex building projects, such as schools, hospitals, office and industrial buildings, leisure facilities and malls. We take particular pride in our landmark realisations, where state-of-the-art engineering, project management and IT development combine to create exceptional building complexes.
