Evaluate turning radii, aisle width requirements, service needs and regulatory considerations.

3

Design

Create detailed layout options, incorporating industry standards and your feedback.

4

Delivery

Finalize plans, provide implementation guidance and support ongoing optimisation.

Your Part in the Process

To design a yard that truly fits your operation, we'll have a brief conversation about your site, vehicles, operations and goals. It's completely okay if you don't have all the information yet. We can work with whatever you have and guide you through the rest.

📍

Site details

  • Location & address: where your yard is located and any relevant context.
  • Approximate footprint & dimensions: overall size, shape and general measurements.
  • Access points: number and placement of entry and exit gates.
  • Unique features: slopes, utilities, easements or structures that could influence the layout.
🚚

Fleet composition

  • Current fleet: approximate numbers and types of vehicles and equipment, from tractors and trucks to buses, garbage trucks, trailers and yard gear.
  • Future needs: any plans for growth or changes to the mix of vehicles over the next few years.
⏱️

Operations & traffic

  • Schedule: operating hours and shift patterns.
  • Typical volume: average daily movements in and out and how long vehicles usually dwell.
  • Peak periods: busiest times of day, week or year and any bottlenecks you’ve noticed.
🛠️

Functional needs

  • Parking & staging: how vehicles are parked and staged (e.g., drop‑and‑hook, long‑term storage).
  • Loading & unloading: docks, ramps or cross‑dock operations.
  • Fueling & maintenance: fueling islands, charging points, service bays or wash facilities.
  • Support areas: offices, driver lounges, restrooms and security structures.
⚠️

Constraints & preferences

  • Regulations & codes: any local requirements or restrictions we should account for.
  • Budget & timeline: funding limits, phasing plans or timing considerations.
  • Environmental & aesthetic goals: sustainability initiatives, branding elements or community preferences.
💡

Special considerations

  • Expansion plans: potential land acquisitions or increased capacity you foresee.
  • Technology & automation: telematics, automation or advanced yard management systems.
  • Special cargo & other needs: hazardous materials, refrigerated or oversized goods or anything else unique to your operation.

These talking points give us a head start on crafting your design. We'll help you gather whatever information is available and use it to create a layout that maximises efficiency, capacity and safety.
