Traffic Impact Assessment for Proposed Multistorey Investment Building for Tanzania Embassy in Nairobi

Consortium: K&M Archplans (Tz) Ltd

Challenge: A mixed-use 22-storey tower by the Tanzania Embassy in Upper Hill required a plan to manage multi-level access, internal parking, and surrounding network impacts.

Solution: GLINCE conducted detailed traffic and safety assessments, developed roadway designs, and supervised implementation. Our plan ensures smooth vehicular movement and optimises both construction and long-term traffic management.

Traffic Modelling and Network Improvement Options Report for Ugatuzi Tower

Consortium: China Overseas Engineering Group Co., Ltd (COVEC) and Udesign Architects

Challenge: The proposed 29-storey Ugatuzi Tower in Kilimani—a high-density mixed-use development—posed significant mobility challenges. The area is already burdened by peak-hour congestion, and the development's scale demanded strategic interventions to avoid exacerbating traffic conditions and ensure user safety.

Solution: GLINCE Ltd carried out advanced traffic modelling and road safety assessments to evaluate both internal and external network impacts. We developed solutions including optimised internal circulation systems, reconfiguration of access points, and improvements to external road segments and intersections.

Traffic Study for the Proposed Access Improvement and Traffic Circulation at The Hub Karen

Consortium: Janus Continental Group

Challenge: The Hub Karen's continued growth highlighted deficiencies in parking, internal circulation, and entry/exit management during peak hours.

Solution: GLINCE developed a comprehensive traffic strategy including capacity modelling, road safety evaluation, and design of internal and access roads. Our recommendations now shape a smoother, safer and more visitor-friendly experience for Nairobi's premier shopping destination.

Traffic Study for the Proposed Mixed-Use Development at Tatu City

Challenge: Tatu City is one of Kenya's largest private urban developments, combining residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional land uses. The scale and complexity of the project demanded a comprehensive mobility framework to ensure seamless access, safety, and functionality across zones.

Solution: GLINCE Ltd conducted a holistic traffic assessment encompassing internal circulation planning, access road design, and safety analysis. Using advanced traffic modelling, we evaluated capacity needs and user dynamics to support long-term mobility, forming the foundation of a sustainable and smart urban mobility network.

Traffic Surveys along Nairobi BRT Line 4

Consortium: LOGIT Consulting Inc. and ITDP

Challenge: The implementation of Nairobi's BRT Line 4 required in-depth traffic data to inform intersection designs and signal plans along one of the city's busiest corridors.

Solution: GLINCE conducted comprehensive traffic surveys at 14 strategic intersections using high-definition video capture to record both motorised and non-motorised traffic volumes, driving design optimisation for enhanced flow, safety, and efficiency along the BRT corridor.

Repeat Assessment of Transport and Trade Performance along the Northern and Central Corridors

Consortium: UNeed.IT (Italy) / Tertiary Consulting Engineers (Kenya)

Challenge: Accurate data was needed to evaluate regional logistics performance across East Africa's key trade corridors.

Solution: GLINCE carried out traffic counts at 33 sites and origin-destination surveys at 25 locations across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Burundi, enriching the study with practical logistics stakeholder insights that inform corridor optimisation.

Traffic Count Survey on Woodvale Grove

Consortium: Glince Ltd (Lead Consultant)

Challenge: Nairobi City County, with support from ITDP and UN-Habitat, sought to redesign Woodvale Grove and adjacent streets to promote walking and cycling, enhance economic activity, and improve urban quality of life.

Solution: Glince Ltd conducted detailed traffic studies, including motorised and non-motorised traffic volume counts, parking studies, and data analysis, plus a microscopic traffic model of the corridor — now shaping Woodvale Grove's transformation into a pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly space.

Feasibility Study of Nyabugogo Multimodal Transit Hub

Consortium: EGIS International / United Contractors JV

Challenge: The Nyabugogo area, a major node in Kigali's transport network, needed a strategic mobility framework to support future transit integration.

Solution: GLINCE led scenario-based traffic modelling using Aimsun software to simulate operations under varied transport interventions, guiding Kigali's shift towards efficient, multimodal transit systems.

Preparation of the Kilifi Municipality Integrated Strategic Urban Development Plan (ISUDP)

Consortium: Geosurveys and Geospatial Information Ltd

Challenge: Kilifi needed a coherent long-term development strategy to guide municipal expansion and infrastructure investment.

Solution: GLINCE supported the preparation of Kilifi's ISUDP, focusing on transport infrastructure mapping, scenario planning, and sustainable mobility policy development — supporting strategic decision-making for the next 10 years.

Preparation of the Kakamega County Spatial Development Plan

Consortium: Geosurveys and Geospatial Information Ltd

Challenge: The Kakamega County Spatial Plan (2024–2034) required data-driven transport planning to align infrastructure development with population and economic growth.

Solution: GLINCE performed a situational transport system analysis, forecasted future scenarios, and proposed sustainable transport policies, identifying flagship infrastructure projects for Kakamega's decade-long transformation.

Preliminary Design Services of Entebbe City Roads Project

Consortium: China Overseas Engineering Group Company (COVEC)

Challenge: Entebbe's rapid urbanisation has outpaced its municipal road network. Many links remain unpaved, drainage is under-capacity, and walking/cycling provision is fragmented or absent—driving up travel times, crash risk, flooding, dust, and road user costs.

Solution: GLINCE prepared preliminary designs and cost estimates for the proposed roads, context-sensitive to land use, right-of-way constraints, the city's strategic functions (airport/CBD/tourism), and vulnerable road users.

Design and Construction Supervision of Widening of Port Road from Gantry Workshop to One Stop Centre

Consortium: East African Engineering Consultants

Challenge: Congestion and inefficient road access around the Mombasa port area affected operations and logistics flow.

Solution: GLINCE led detailed surveys and traffic modelling, developed a microscopic simulation model of the port area, and produced geometric designs, drainage layouts, and construction documents — enabling smoother traffic flow and efficient cargo movement into and out of East Africa's busiest port.

KeNHA (Lower Eastern Region) In-House Training on Traffic Engineering

Consortium: GLINCE Ltd (Lead Consultant)

Challenge: KeNHA required technical upskilling of its in-house engineers to enhance competency in traffic engineering practices, particularly in planning, analysis, and forecasting.

Solution: GLINCE designed and delivered a comprehensive training programme covering fundamental and advanced traffic engineering concepts, including survey methodologies, data analysis, highway capacity modelling, and HCM forecasting techniques.
