Roads

Roads and Highways are one of our Groups core strengths in the Transport Sector. Our involvement in the sector ranges from advising on institutional infrastructure at national and local administration level, through the planning and design of complex urban roads and rural strategic routes to construction supervision and technology transfer for developing countries. Our Groups experience covers the whole of the project cycle from data collection through analysis and planning to feasibility and economic studies and then onto route planning and statutory procedures, detailed design, value for money/ risk analysis, procurement, site supervision and project review/audit to management and maintenance of the asset. Our capability includes specialist expertise in bridges, tunnels, pavement engineering, intelligent transport systems, 3D visualisation and environmental aspects.

Our basic skills have developed through use of the latest design tools including GIS route analysis and computer generated visulisation techniques. In addition we have expanded our capability in project and programme management and in the area of day to day operations, management and maintenance of the network. Our knowledge of procurement and statutory processes has expanded by direct involvement in major schemes using traditional procurement, design and build, Early Contractor Involvement and Design Build Finance and operate.

Our added value comes from our staff who have unrivalled experience in the sector. We are able to bring together our core staff from our worldwide resource and augment them with in-house specialist skills appropriate to the task for example: Architects, Planners, Economists, Landscape Architects and Environmentalists. Our operations are managed from skill centres in UK, Ireland, Poland, India, China and South East Asia with additional local offices set up to meet client and project demands.  Our staff share best practice throughout our operations.
