Subcontract design · Peak-load capacity

Road & rail design capacity, when your team is at full stretch.

RoadRail Design is a Turkey-based team of highway and railway design engineers. We plug into your projects as an extension of your design office – working to your standards, templates and software – so you can take on more work without hiring ahead of demand.

  • Civil 3D, OpenRoads, MicroStation, InRoads
  • UK, Dutch, US, EU and Turkish standards
  • 1–3 hours from UK & Dutch office hours
  • Senior-led, cost-efficient capacity

Typical design scenario · illustrativeRoad alignment

Crest curve on a 100 kph dual carriageway

  1. Initial ideaUse a 275 m crest curve between a +2% and a −3% grade to save cutting.
  2. The standardCD 109 Table 2.10 gives a desirable minimum crest K value of 100 at 100 kph (stopping sight distance 215 m), and para 5.4 sets curve length as K × grade change. 275 m gives K = 55 – one step below desirable, a relaxation that needs justification.
  3. So weLengthened the crest to 500 m (K = 100) and lifted the profile slightly to rebalance earthworks, so no relaxation is needed.

Why consultancies use us

Senior design capacity without the overhead

  • Timezone-friendly. Türkiye is on UTC+3 all year: 2–3 hours ahead of the UK, 1–2 hours ahead of the Netherlands, and an overnight turnaround for US teams.
  • Cost-efficient. Experienced engineers at rates that make subcontracting a peak worthwhile – no recruitment, no bench cost.
  • Your standards, your templates. We adopt your CAD standards, title blocks, layer conventions and checking procedures.
  • Engineer-led, not just CAD. Packages are led by an engineer who has run design teams on major expressway, metro and light rail projects.
  • Confidential by default. We work under NDA and, where you prefer, inside your own VPN, Common Data Environment or remote desktops.
