Services · Civil engineering – road works
Roads and bridges planned, built and maintained to standard
Civil engineering for road works involves the planning, design, construction and maintenance of roads and related infrastructure so that people and goods move safely and efficiently. We handle every component, from the first survey to routine maintenance.
Scope of works
What our roads and bridges covers
Planning and design
- Site surveys and geotechnical investigations
- road alignment and geometric design
- traffic studies of existing and projected patterns
- pavement design, flexible (asphalt) and rigid (concrete)
- drainage design
- engineer's estimates and bills of quantities
Earthworks and formation
- Bush clearing and site preparation
- excavation, grading and filling to form a stable roadbed
- subgrade preparation and compaction
- embankments and cuttings
- gravelling and murram roads
Pavements and surfacing
- Sub-base and base layers
- bituminous surface dressing
- asphalt concrete surfacing
- concrete pavements
- paving blocks for estate roads, yards and parking areas
- kerbs, channels and walkways
Drainage structures
- Pipe and box culverts
- side drains, mitre drains and scour checks
- lined drains
- drifts and causeways
- retaining walls and gabion works
Bridges and structures
- Bridge design and construction to span rivers and roads
- footbridges
- retaining walls and embankments on slopes
- river crossings and approach roads
Traffic control and signage
- Traffic signals and signage
- road markings and symbols
- speed bumps and rumble strips
- guard rails and road furniture
Quality control and testing
- Materials testing of soil, asphalt and concrete
- road inspections during and after construction
- compliance with design specifications and safety standards
Road maintenance
- Routine maintenance and inspections
- periodic maintenance
- pothole patching and resealing
- grading of rural access roads
- rehabilitation and upgrading of existing roads
Sustainability
- Environmental impact assessments for road projects
- recycled and locally sourced materials
- proper handling of stormwater
