Project-Based Support
Expert Support for Complex Compliance and Operational Projects
Specialised Expertise for Unique Challenges
Not every compliance need fits a standard service package. Complex vehicle configurations, specialised operations, regulatory innovations, and strategic initiatives often require customised support tailored to specific project objectives. Our Project-Based Support service provides flexible, expert assistance for unique challenges that demand specialised knowledge and focused attention.
Whether navigating Performance Based Standards applications, implementing new regulatory frameworks, preparing for operational changes, or addressing complex compliance scenarios, we deliver project-specific support aligned to your timeline, budget, and success criteria.
Common Project Types
- Performance Based Standards (PBS) Applications: Vehicle approval applications with risk assessments and technical documentation
- Regulatory Change Implementation: Adapting operations to new HVNL requirements or regulatory frameworks
- Operational Expansions: Risk assessments for new routes, cargo types, or service offerings
- Technology Integration: Compliance implications of new systems like telematics or load monitoring
- Merger & Acquisition Support: Compliance due diligence and integration planning
- Specialised Vehicle Projects: Unique configurations requiring custom compliance approaches
Performance Based Standards (PBS) Applications
Expert navigation of the PBS approval process
What is PBS?
Performance Based Standards provide an alternative to prescriptive vehicle regulations, allowing innovative vehicle configurations that meet safety and infrastructure protection performance standards. PBS enables operators to design vehicles optimised for specific operations whilst maintaining or improving safety outcomes.
PBS Application Preparation
Complete application package development including technical specifications, engineering assessments, operational descriptions, and risk evaluations. We coordinate with PBS assessors and vehicle designers to ensure compliant applications.
Risk Assessment & Documentation
Comprehensive risk assessments demonstrating how proposed vehicle configurations manage safety and infrastructure risks. We document control measures, operational restrictions, and monitoring systems satisfying PBS requirements.
Route Assessment Support
Analysis of intended operating routes identifying infrastructure constraints, clearance restrictions, and operational considerations. We develop route-specific risk management plans and operational protocols.
Compliance Framework Development
Establishment of ongoing compliance systems for PBS vehicle operations including monitoring procedures, maintenance requirements, operational restrictions, and record-keeping systems.
Other Project Support Areas
Regulatory Change Implementation
When new HVNL requirements or regulatory frameworks emerge, operators need rapid assessment of implications and implementation support. We analyse regulatory changes, assess operational impacts, develop compliance strategies, and guide implementation to minimise disruption whilst ensuring regulatory alignment.
Operational Expansion Projects
Expanding into new routes, cargo types, or service offerings introduces new risks requiring assessment and control. We conduct risk evaluations for proposed expansions, identify compliance requirements, develop control frameworks, and prepare documentation supporting informed expansion decisions.
Technology Integration Projects
Implementing telematics, load monitoring, fatigue detection, or other technologies requires understanding compliance implications and integration with existing systems. We assess regulatory requirements, evaluate technology capabilities, design integration approaches, and establish monitoring frameworks leveraging new technology capabilities.
Compliance Due Diligence
Mergers, acquisitions, or partnership arrangements require comprehensive compliance due diligence to identify liabilities and integration requirements. We conduct detailed compliance assessments, quantify regulatory risks, and develop integration roadmaps ensuring smooth transitions.
Our Project Approach
1. Project Scoping
Detailed consultation to understand project objectives, constraints, timeline, and success criteria. We define scope, deliverables, milestones, and communication protocols ensuring clear expectations.
2. Research & Analysis
Comprehensive research into regulatory requirements, technical standards, industry practices, and relevant precedents. We gather information necessary for informed project execution.
3. Risk Assessment
Systematic risk evaluation identifying hazards, assessing consequences and likelihood, and evaluating control options. Risk assessments follow ISO 31000 methodology ensuring defensible, evidence-based analysis.
4. Solution Development
Development of project-specific solutions including documentation, procedures, applications, or strategic plans. Solutions balance regulatory requirements with operational realities and project objectives.
5. Stakeholder Coordination
Coordination with relevant stakeholders including regulators, engineers, suppliers, or internal teams. We facilitate communication and ensure alignment across project participants.
6. Implementation Support
Guidance during project implementation including documentation review, clarification support, and problem-solving as issues arise. We remain engaged through project completion.
Project Deliverables
Customised to project requirements
Project Reports
Comprehensive documentation of project findings, analysis, recommendations, and implementation guidance tailored to project objectives and stakeholder needs.
Risk Assessments
Detailed risk evaluations following ISO 31000 methodology, documenting hazards, consequences, likelihood, control measures, and residual risk positions.
Application Packages
For PBS or similar applications, complete submission packages including technical documentation, risk assessments, operational descriptions, and supporting evidence.
Compliance Frameworks
Procedures, systems, and documentation supporting ongoing compliance with project-specific requirements including monitoring, record-keeping, and review processes.
Implementation Plans
Structured roadmaps for implementing project outcomes with timelines, responsibilities, resource requirements, and success criteria clearly defined.
Stakeholder Presentations
Executive summaries, board presentations, or regulatory submission materials communicating project outcomes to relevant stakeholders.
Investment & Engagement
Custom Quote
Project-based support investment varies significantly based on project scope, complexity, timeline, and deliverable requirements. We provide fixed-price proposals following initial consultation and scoping.
Investment Considerations
- Project Scope: Defined objectives, deliverables, and boundaries
- Technical Complexity: Specialised knowledge or coordination requirements
- Timeline: Standard delivery vs. accelerated timelines
- Stakeholder Engagement: Number and complexity of stakeholder interactions
- Documentation Volume: Extent of reports, applications, or framework development
- Ongoing Support: One-time delivery vs. extended implementation support
Engagement Process
Following initial consultation, we provide detailed project proposals outlining scope, approach, deliverables, timeline, and fixed-price investment. This ensures clarity before engagement commencement. Payment structures are customised to project milestones and cash flow preferences.
