Areas of Expertise
Highways and Drainage
| Residential roads, industrial estates from topographical and soil survey, through negotiations with highway authority, to technical approval of section 38 agreement. |
| Access and visibility splay improvements to accommodate the planning requirements in section 106 agreements. |
| Storm water run-off calculations, retention solutions, foul and storm sewer layouts for section 104 agreement, open channels and pond design. Sustainable Urban Drainage Design (SUDS). |
| Traffic calming of existing roads, improvements, vehicle tracking by 'Autotrack' swept path prediction. |
| The introduction of narrow access roads and traffic calming measures conflicts directly with the requirements of safe manoeuvring of vehicles. Running alongside AutoCAD we utilise AutoTrack which generates the predicted path of vehicles ranging from a small private car, to the maximum permitted articulated H.G.V. Consideration can be given to H.G.V. turning areas on industrial estates in order to minimise the land take and maximise the efficient use of the site for development. |
