Biography
Andrew Morse, a qualified Civil and Traffic Engineer and a member of the Australian Institute of Traffic Planning & Management (AITPM) and the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA).I have broad experience within the field of traffic engineering following my involvement with a variety of projects in the UK, Bangkok and throughout Australia. I originally trained as a Civil Engineering Technician with Ove Arup & Partners in Bristol, England, where I had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of civil engineering projects, however it was traffic engineering that interested me the most, and so I specialised in this field. Having been with Arup for 5 years, I was given the chance to join Pinnacle Transportation in 1998, a new company just being set up. In 1999 I relocated to Sydney to assist Pinnacle with an 8-month project in Sydney at the conclusion of which I decided to stay in Australia. Since that time, I have continued to be involved in the sector as a Senior Consultant, overseeing many projects covering a wide variety of property types and sizes. I am lucky enough to act as an Expert Witness to the Land & Environment Court and the Supreme Court when required. I am also a Senior Road Safety Auditor and have undertaken a number of Safety Audits of all stages of road design and construction projects.
At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to understand:
- Having regard for safety and efficiency in car park design
- Where to find documented standards for car park design
- The importance of designing for all road users and being aware of their needs
