Wadi Namar Masterplan

Project context

Momentum supported Gillespies in the preparation of its Wadi Namar competition entry in Riyadh, creating a pre-concept masterplan for the park.

Our work

Momentum is involved in producing a mobility vision for the masterplan, which involves setting out the overall transport strategies, including metro, BRT, pedestrian, vehicle, service, logistics, emergency services and parking.

Momentum is also assessing the mobility of all users and transport modes within and around the park, making sure appropriate connections around the Wadi and site are put into place.

Client outcomes

Calculations to determine the capacity of the park and car parking requirements have been undertaken to determine the best use of space on site. Our engineering team supported the design team led by Gillespies in an initial trip generation, calculating (based on Saudi Arabia planning and highway design manuals) the expected demand and capacity of the road network, and defining the number of lanes, typical sections, and key junction concept layouts for further study as part of the design development.
