Detailed Highway Designs
ttc deliver high-quality, compliant, and cost-effective Detailed Highway Designs for both public and private sector transport infrastructure projects.
What is a Detailed Highway Design?
A Detailed Highway Design is the process of developing technical drawings and specifications for new or modified roads, junctions, and associated infrastructure. It translates initial design concepts into fully engineered solutions that meet regulatory standards and construction requirements. This stage ensures compliance with UK standards, including the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) for strategic roads and the Manual for Streets for urban environments, all of which are presented in accordance with the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works (MCHW).
Expert Highway Design Solutions
At ttc we have a deep understanding of UK highway regulations, design guidance, and engineering best practices, we provide Detailed Highway Design services that help clients navigate the complexities of highway design—ensuring projects progress smoothly from concept to construction.
Our Approach
Our approach to Detailed Highway Design is centred around precision, compliance, and innovation. We work closely with local authorities, developers, and contractors to create practical and buildable designs that balance functionality, safety, and environmental considerations.
