Highway Engineering
RPS has extensive experience in the Planning, Design and Construction Management of major roads and highways across the UK and Ireland.
Over the past 30 years we have built up a specialised roads section and developed a reputation synonymous with technical excellence. Our experience ranges from minor junction improvements to major bypass schemes, traffic calming, safety and environmental improvements through to drainage design and service diversions. Sustainability is a key factor in our designs. We always consider integrated traffic management including buses, pedestrians and cyclists. From early in the design process we attempt to mitigate the impact of the project on the environment using appropriate techniques.
