HIGHWAY DESIGN & TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Small details.
Better roads.

Highway construction design for local authorities, principal contractors and developers. From vehicle accesses to Section 278 improvements, we turn project requirements into clear drawings, construction details and technical design packages.

01 / OUR EXPERTISE

The design.
The detail.
The documentation.

Practical design for small-scale highway schemes, with each package tailored to the site, the construction requirements and the relevant highway authority’s standards.

01

Highway construction design

Clear, coordinated drawings that explain how the proposed works fit into the existing highway. Depending on the brief, a design package can cover layout plans, levels, kerb and footway details, and construction details.

Highway worksConstruction drawings
02

Dropped kerbs & Section 278

Design for vehicle crossovers and alterations to the existing highway. We develop the drawings and technical information needed for the agreed works, taking account of the site constraints and the highway authority’s requirements for review.

03

Design risk & technical documentation

Design risk assessments that identify foreseeable hazards, record measures to eliminate or reduce risks, and communicate significant residual risks to the project team. Technical notes and design information help explain key decisions for construction and future maintenance.

02 / OUR SCOPE

Different projects.
The same attention to detail.

From a single vehicle crossover to a coordinated highway design package, we focus on the detail needed to develop, review and construct the proposed works.

A / ACCESS

A new or altered
vehicle access

Vehicle crossover design considers how an access meets the road, footway and site boundary. These works commonly follow a Section 184 approval route, with requirements set by the local highway authority.

B / HIGHWAY WORKS

Changes to the
existing highway

Section 278 agreements provide a route for developer-funded alterations to the existing public highway. Our design support focuses on the drawings and technical details for the proposed works and the authority’s review.

C / DESIGN SUPPORT

Design information.
Clearly communicated.

A useful design package explains both what is proposed and the considerations behind it. Design risk assessments, technical notes and construction details give the project team information they can work with.

03 / WORKING TOGETHER

A clear brief.
A considered response.

We start by understanding the proposed works, available surveys, site constraints and any highway authority feedback. This helps define a proportionate design scope and identify the information needed before design progresses.

Whether you need a complete design package or focused support with a particular element, we agree the deliverables around your project. Send us your site location, drawings and timescales so we can discuss the next steps.
