Our Services

Specialist Support from Feasibility to Delivery

We support projects from early feasibility through detailed design and delivery, combining specialist technical expertise with a flexible, responsive approach.

01

Highway Design

Precision design from concept to construction-ready drawings.

  • —Concept, preliminary and detailed highway design
  • —Section 278 & Section 38 agreements
  • —AutoCAD & Civil 3D modelling
  • —Signs, markings & TRO support
  • —Pavement design & drainage design

We provide highway design support across all stages of scheme development, turning project requirements into practical, coordinated and deliverable solutions. Our approach considers not only technical compliance, but also buildability, maintenance, cost and the wider constraints that can influence successful delivery. All design work is produced in AutoCAD and Civil 3D, with full digital coordination capability.

02

Feasibility & Optioneering

Informed decisions before commitment to detailed design.

  • —Site assessment & constraints review
  • —Option appraisal & comparison
  • —Cost and risk considerations
  • —Stakeholder constraints analysis
  • —Business-case support

Good projects start by understanding the problem before committing to a design. Prime Highways supports clients during the early stages of projects by reviewing existing conditions, identifying constraints and developing proportionate options that can be assessed before significant design expenditure is committed.

03

Active Travel & Urban Improvements

Schemes that balance movement, place and people.

  • —Walking & cycling infrastructure
  • —LTN 1/20 design development and assessment
  • —Junction improvements and parking and loading considerations
  • —Urban corridor enhancements and bus stop improvements
  • —Active travel policy compliance

We support the development of walking and cycling infrastructure alongside wider urban highway improvements. Our approach recognises that successful schemes must balance the needs of different highway users while responding to existing streets, businesses, public transport, parking, access and local constraints.

04

Technical & Delivery Support

Reliable technical input through approvals and construction.

  • —Specifications & Bills of Quantities
  • —Road Safety Audit responses
  • —Tender & procurement support
  • —Statutory undertaker coordination
  • —CDM and designer risk management

Prime Highways can remain involved beyond the design stage, helping clients navigate approvals, procurement and delivery. We provide practical technical support to resolve issues efficiently and help maintain the original objectives of the project as it progresses towards construction. These include preparing specifications, Bills of Quantities, statutory undertaker coordination, Road Safety Audit responses, tender documentation, design reviews and responses to construction-stage queries. Our involvement through delivery ensures design intent is maintained and technical issues are resolved quickly.

Our Approach

Engineering Judgement - Not Just Production

Technically robust

Solutions that are buildable, maintainable and proportionate to the needs of each project — not over-engineered, not under-specified.

Delivery focused

We understand the pressures of programme and budget. Our advice is practical and aimed at keeping projects moving.

Collaborative from day one

We take time to understand project objectives, constraints and priorities before developing the design — so our input is tailored, not templated.

We'll help identify the right level of support, the next steps and where Prime can add the most value.
