Scott White and Hookins offer a comprehensive highway design service in addition to traffic and transport. This covers all highway design requirements associated with developing any size of site, and often includes:

• Pavement and drainage design
• Estate design
• Junction design and road alignment
• Provision of underground infrastructure
• 3 dimensional ground modelling
• Organise topographic and sub-site investigations
• Manage street lighting design
• Contract administration
• Site inspections/supervision

Our highway engineers are skilled in dealing with relevant Highways' Agency, Drainage and Local Highway Authorities to:

• Comply with highway standards
• Obtain technical approval of proposed schemes
• Follow adoption procedures, such as section 38 and 278 work
• Comply with planning requirements, such as section 106 agreements
• Deal with drainage authorities for sewer adoptions

Our engineers can be employed either directly by the client, or as part of a full design team, and will undertake all pavement and associated infrastructure design, and use state of the art ground modelling, drainage and highway design software packages. Using these, sites can be modelled 3 dimensionally to generate accurate cut/fill volumes, contours, cross sections and setting out information.

Infrastructure is an important part of the development of a site. Scott White and Hookins offer a complete infrastructure design service for both public and private sites which includes:

• Underground service design,
• Consultation with service providers
• Compliance with statutory procedures
