URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Our multidisciplinary capabilities and commitment to partnership with architects, developers, and communities mean we can help deliver imaginative, flexible and sustainable urban projects in line with government aspirations and legislation. The services we provide cover all crucial aspects of development – from sustainable master planning to implementation, including urban design, landscape design, risk assessment, project management, energy saving and procurement. We have a proven track record in designing exemplary low-impact urban development projects and specialize in bringing together holistic thinking to achieve optimized engineering strategies at a master planning scale. Our in-depth understanding of buildings and infrastructure delivery enables us to guide appropriate decision-making at all stages. We show our clients where the solutions lie, facilitating collaboration, partnering and stakeholder engagement. Our project portfolio features eco-cities and inner-city regeneration schemes, mixed-use developments and multimodal transport interchanges with associated community, heritage or tourism facilities. In addition, our sustainability specialists are acting as energy and sustainability master planners for new communities.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT
With burgeoning growth and migration to towns and cities, many countries and governments are rethinking their growth strategies and investment requirements. Debates continue to circle consolidation or decentralization of populations. Development and infrastructure costs are considered not just in terms of hard currency but also in terms of carbon costs and performance criteria. Urban development is facing a trilemma regarding water, energy and food security.
HKK adds value by
We are delivering wholly integrated engineering and environmental solutions.
Working with customers to ensure their visions, aspirations, project goals and ambitions are realized.
We are creating appropriate models and using suitable tools to measure design, construction and operational performance requirements.

utilities
Delivery of utilities can be challenging, especially in built-up and urban environments. Governments are encouraged to consider the replacement of assets, the provision of 'smart utilities', and the long-term operation and maintenance of these facilities in the overall context of 'sustainability of long-term assets'.
At HKK, we have teams of experts who can provide, develop and deliver solutions in water supply, wastewater, power generation and transmission for governments and developments worldwide.
