Services
Civil Engineering Design
We provide end-to-end civil engineering services including highway design, drainage systems, and adoptable road schemes. Our team utilises MicroDrainage and AutoCAD software to create compliant, sustainable solutions for residential and commercial developments. With expertise in Section 38/278 agreements, we ensure seamless approval processes and construction-ready designs.
Transport Planning
Our transport planning covers feasibility studies, traffic modelling, and travel plans for developments. We prepare Transport Assessments and Statements to address highway impacts, integrating sustainable travel options. With local authority experience, we advise on policy development and provide expert witness support during planning appeals.
Flood Risk Consultancy
Specialising in Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs), we secure approvals for projects in high-risk areas. Our services include SuDS design, attenuation storage, and flood warning plans. We achieve planning permission for complex sites by addressing Environment Agency requirements and climate change allowances.
Pre-Land Acquisition
We conduct technical evaluations before land purchase, identifying constraints and budget costs. Services include flood risk assessments, transport studies, and drainage strategies to inform acquisition decisions. Our reports highlight potential issues and mitigation measures for developers.
Sustainable Drainage Systems
We design sustainable urban drainage systems to manage surface water and reduce flooding. Our approach includes soakaways, attenuation tanks, and compliance with BRE 365 standards. These systems minimise environmental impact while meeting regulatory requirements.
