Highways Engineering
& Infrastructure Design

Comprehensive early-stage assessment of site conditions, access opportunities, and engineering constraints. We identify potential risks and technical challenges, advise on deliverable highway solutions, and outline the most practical and cost-effective transport and infrastructure strategy to support your planning application and long-term development objectives.

Development and refinement of detailed site access and internal layout designs, ensuring compliance with national and local design standards. Early engagement with highway authorities to secure agreement on geometry, visibility, servicing, and circulation arrangements.

Coordination and management of independent road safety review at preliminary design stage and incorporating recommendations to safeguard all road users to secure highway concept and layout approvals.

Preparation and submission of highways and transport infrastructure designs to support planning approval, ensuring proposals are technically robust, policy-compliant, and aligned with highway authority expectations.

Production of clear and accurate General Arrangement drawings, defining the scope, layout, and specification of proposed highway and infrastructure works for technical review and approval.

Preparation of comprehensive engineering drawing packages, specifications, and schedules compiled to be submitted for technical approval submission to support.

Independent safety audit at the detailed design stage, with comprehensive Designer’s Responses ensuring that all safety recommendations are reviewed, addressed, and incorporated prior to construction.

Management of technical submissions and ongoing coordination with local highways, drainage, and planning authorities to secure timely approvals and agreement of design proposals.

Engagement with utility providers to design, programme, and coordinate service diversions or connections, minimising risks of delay or conflict with highways and infrastructure works.

Compilation of approved technical drawings, tender documentation and bills of quantities, to support accurate contractor tendering and ensure transparent procurement, robust pricing, and contractor comparability.

Provide technical assistance to the client’s legal team in their preparation of legal documentation and financial bonds to safeguard client obligations in the negotiation and submission of adoption agreements for highways, and associated works, achieving formal sign-off and ensuring long-term maintainability.

Securing formal approval of detailed highways and drainage designs from relevant authorities, ensuring compliance with current technical standards and policies, and enabling works to commence.

Design and approval of safe, practical, and efficient temporary traffic management measures to maintain movement, minimise disruption, and protect all road users during construction prior to securing and managing all necessary highway licences, permits, and approvals for works on or adjacent to the public highway, ensuring statutory compliance during construction.

Provision of experienced on-site supervision to monitor construction activity, ensuring works are delivered safely, to approved designs, and in accordance with technical standards.

Post-construction independent safety audit, with detailed Designer’s Responses to confirm issues are addressed and the completed scheme operates safely and effectively.

Oversight of snagging and remedial works, ensuring compliance with authority requirements, and securing the release of adoption bonds once obligations have been fulfilled.
