Highways

We can:

• Help you conduct transportation planning for a country, region or city, taking a joined-up view of how public and private transportation can interact to provide people with mobility and access to employment and opportunity.
• Help you formulate a decarbonization plan for your network, with achievable targets and milestones, and a set of programs and projects to achieve this vision.
• Advise on the safety of your highway network and help you explore systemic ways to improve safety performance.
• Advise on the use of digital technologies and data to achieve transformational improvements for your road network.
• Carry out scenario planning and strategic foresighting to understand how transportation policies, as well as technology developments such as autonomous vehicles, might affect your network. 

We can: 

• Help you draw up options, conduct demand analysis and economic evaluation, and frame business cases to fully consider benefits and costs, as an aid to decision-making.
• Advise you on procurement and contractual approaches to achieve your aims. 
• Provide permitting, planning, and regulatory support to help you get the go-ahead from the authorities for your projects. 

We can: 

• Carry out feasibility studies, environmental assessments, site and geotechnical investigations to reveal the potential of sites and identify possible risks and pitfalls.
• Design road infrastructure — including bridges, tunnels, highways, embankments, drainage, barriers, signage, and information systems — that are suitably sized and positioned, safe, resilient, and make efficient use of resources.
• Use carbon modeling and digital tools to reduce carbon emissions in design and operation.
• Apply regenerative design principles and landscaping to promote biodiversity net gain and mitigate the impact of projects on air quality, flood risk, and other environmental factors. 
• Apply digital traffic modeling techniques to design highways that fully consider road user behavior, improving safety and reducing congestion.
• Carry out systematic safety auditing to check the road safety implications of your highway improvement or new road project.
• Use industrialized construction solutions, including design for manufacture and assembly, to create assets that are higher-quality, more resource-efficient, and require less labor than using conventional onsite construction processes.

We can: 

• Manage your project or program from start to finish, carrying out reviews at key project milestones to drive delivery against time and budget.
• Estimate and manage costs and risks and implement robust project controls to keep your project on track.
• Use a common data environment to share documents and data with project partners and stakeholders, building trust and collaboration.
• Manage procurement, administer contracts, and supervise construction for an efficient supply chain, with appropriate risk allocation and incentives. 
• Incentivize and manage innovation in the supply chain, finding creative solutions to reduce carbon and cost and to achieve better outcomes.

We can: 

• Produce a functioning digital twin of your network that will help you make the most of data to manage ongoing operation and maintenance. 
• Develop asset management strategies and plans that enable you to better manage risk and prioritize investment.
• Operate road networks under contract, managing planned maintenance activities and responding to incidents, to enable safe and efficient operation. 
• Develop customized software and technology solutions to help with day-to-day management and operation of road networks.
• Carry out condition assessments to give you a rounded view of the condition of your assets and enable you to plan future work. 
• Design and manage safety enhancements to improve the safety performance of the network.
• Apply our technical expertise to maintenance, repair, and enhancement work that extends the life and improves the performance of your assets.
