Traffic safety

COWI is involved in an initiative to help reduce European traffic fatalities. While the number of traffic accidents on European roads has decreased, there is still much to do to reduce the number further and achieve the EU's goal of 25,000 a year.

New energy requirements in buildings

Environmentally friendly buildings are not just a good idea – they are now mandatory. From 2006 to 2009 new energy requirements will bring essential changes to building in Europe.

Climate change

Storms, sunshine and plenty of rain – climate change is here to stay. Now we have to face the challenges of limiting their effects and adapting to the changes.

Large-scale projects

The more strategic and complex an infrastructure project, the greater the need for integrated planning and control. The trend is to collect all consultancy services into one package.

Process consultancy

Process consultancy has taken a firm hold in the building trade. Creative new methods are encouraging architects, contractors, clients and consultants to get to know one another better, allowing them to establish common goals.

The modern hospital

Modern hospitals focus on the needs of the patient. They create a cohesive course of events, where treatment is taken to the patient rather than the other way around.

Partnering

Mutual trust and openness are the key to the partnering relationship: a form of collaborative working which has hitherto been the province of the building sector but which is now beginning to be adopted by the civil engineering sector.
