Design and drafting capacity for road and rail projects
From a single drawing package to a dedicated team for several months – we take on clearly defined work so your engineers can focus on clients, approvals and the next bid.
Highway & road design
Motorways, expressways, rural and urban roads, junctions and development access schemes.
- Horizontal and vertical alignment, visibility and swept-path checks
- At-grade junctions, roundabouts and grade-separated interchanges
- Typical and detailed cross-sections, superelevation and widening
- Corridor models, earthworks quantities and mass-haul
- Pavement, kerbing, signs and road markings layouts
- Surface water drainage layouts and long-sections
- Cycle tracks, footways and public-realm street layouts
Railway, metro & light rail design
Main line, metro and tram geometry, from option studies to detailed design drawings.
- Horizontal and vertical track alignment, transitions and cant
- Track cross-sections, formation and drainage interfaces
- Depot, stabling and yard layouts
- Street-running tram and light rail integration with road junctions
- Station-area and platform-edge geometry coordination
- Road/rail interface drawings: level crossings, bridges, parallel corridors
Drawing production & sheet sets
We turn your design models or mark-ups into issue-ready drawings.
- General arrangement and site layout plans
- Plan & profile and cross-section sheet sets
- Setting-out, kerb and levels drawings
- Utility diversion and protection drawings
- Quantity take-off and bills of quantities support
- As-built drawing compilation
3D models & BIM
Model-based delivery that fits your information management process.
- Civil 3D and OpenRoads corridor and surface models
- Federated models and clash detection with structures and utilities
- IFC exports and model-based quantities
- Working within ISO 19650 naming and CDE workflows
Design coordination & interfaces
Our lead engineer has spent years coordinating highway, structures, traffic and utility disciplines.
- Interface registers and multidisciplinary coordination
- Utility coordination: stormwater, water, sewer, power, telecom
- Construction-stage design support and revisions
Design checking & standards adaptation
A second pair of eyes before you submit.
- Geometric compliance checks against the relevant manual
- Design criteria matrices for new standards or new markets
- Adapting an existing design to US, UK, Dutch or EU requirements
Software
Typical packages
Well-defined pieces of work that are easy to hand over and easy to check.
Development access junction
Priority junction or roundabout GA, swept paths, setting-out, kerbs, levels and drainage for an S278-type package.
Corridor option study
Two or three alignment options with long-sections, earthworks volumes and a comparison table.
Sheet set from your model
Plan & profile and cross-section sheets generated from your Civil 3D or OpenRoads model to your templates.
Track alignment & cross-sections
Track geometry for a renewal, siding, depot or tram extension, with cross-sections at agreed intervals.
Utility coordination drawings
Composite utility plans, conflict schedules and diversion layouts for a road or rail corridor.
US spec adaptation
A criteria matrix mapping your design to AASHTO and the state DOT manual, with flagged non-compliances.
Ways to work together
Peak-load capacity
Engineers or CAD technicians on a time basis, working to your programme. Scale up and down by the week.
Fixed-price package
A defined scope and set of deliverables for a fixed fee – ideal for a first project together.
Dedicated team extension
A stable team that learns your standards and clients, for longer programmes or frameworks.
Your firm stays the designer of record. We work under your direction, checking and approval procedures; we do not seal, stamp or certify designs in your jurisdiction.
