Highway design, maintenance and traffic engineering
About the highways service
As a joint partner in the Major Highways Consortium, Highway Services has an unrivalled record in delivering highway projects in the City and across the Greater Manchester region. Our projects range in scale and complexity, from extensive dual carriageway improvements to simple junction engineering.
Our staff have proven experience in highway design and maintenance and the skill and expertise to deliver complex civil engineering projects in a congested urban environment.
All of our designs are carried out to appropriate standards using specialist state-of-the-art technology, including MX for Windows (MOSS), CAD (Computer-Aided Design), and ICEPAC (Institution of Civil Engineers Package). With the aid of value engineering, we can offer high quality, sustainable solutions delivered to programme and within budget.
Services we offer
We also provide complementary expertise in highways maintenance, particularly in the preparation, letting and supervision of contracts, as well as carrying out routine maintenance works and anti-skid treatments. We have the ability to plan and implement temporary lane closures and traffic diversions and arrange alterations to traffic signal systems.
To ensure that our maintenance contracts are undertaken with minimum disruption to users, we liaise extensively with statutory undertakers, the police and traffic engineers. Our staff have considerable experience in co-ordinating and conducting public consultation exercises and awareness sessions for those who will be affected by highway works.
By utilising only the latest materials we guarantee quality and cost effective highway maintenance regimes every time.
