Highways, Drainage and Infrastructure Design

Delivering Safe, Compliant, and Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions

Our highways, drainage, and infrastructure design services provide comprehensive planning and design for residential developments, estates, and high-rise housing projects. We help councils, housing associations, and private developers create safe, efficient, and resilient infrastructure that meets regulatory requirements, enhances accessibility, and supports long-term sustainability.

From new build developments to refurbishment of existing estates, we provide tailored solutions for highways, roads, footways, drainage networks, and wider site infrastructure.

What Are Highways, Drainage, and Infrastructure Design Services?

Our services cover the full spectrum of infrastructure design, including:

  • Highways and access roads – layout, geometry, and surfacing for safe vehicle and pedestrian movement
  • Drainage design – sustainable surface water management, foul and combined drainage systems, and flood mitigation
  • Site infrastructure – utility coordination, lighting, footpaths, parking areas, and service corridors
  • Sustainable and regulatory-compliant design – incorporating SUDS, highways standards, and planning requirements
  • Integration with building and landscape design – ensuring infrastructure works harmoniously with residential buildings and communal areas

Our designs are tailored to each project, ensuring safety, accessibility, and longevity.

Why Infrastructure Design Matters

Well-designed highways, drainage, and site infrastructure are essential to:

  • Ensure resident safety and accessibility
  • Prevent flooding, water damage, and drainage failures
  • Comply with building regulations, highways standards, and planning consent requirements
  • Enhance site usability, aesthetics, and long-term maintenance efficiency
  • Support sustainable urban drainage and environmental performance

Effective infrastructure design reduces long-term maintenance costs and ensures resilient, safe, and functional residential estates.

Our Design Approach

We follow a structured, evidence-led process to deliver comprehensive infrastructure solutions:

  1. Site Assessment and Surveying – review of topography, existing services, and site conditions
  2. Feasibility Studies and Options Development – identifying practical, cost-effective solutions
  3. Detailed Design – highways geometry, drainage networks, SUDS integration, and utility layouts
  4. Regulatory Compliance Checks – adherence to planning, highways, drainage, and environmental standards
  5. Documentation and Reporting – technical drawings, specifications, and calculations suitable for approvals and construction

Our approach ensures safe, compliant, and deliverable infrastructure solutions, tailored to the needs of residential estates and high-rise developments.
