Team up with Our Surveyor for Guidance with Highway Design
Land surveying is an extremely crucial step on the road to a smart, successful, and implementable highway design. At Construction Survey, we can collaborate with developers, councils, urban planners, or all of the above to create plans for roadways or highways. From roadway placement to design and beyond, we have the knowledge and background necessary to develop the infrastructure required to allow for new neighbourhoods, subdivisions, property developments or growing communities.
The Importance of a Professional Highway Design Service
It’s common knowledge that designing a new building or a new property development is a complex process with many factors to consider. What most people don’t realise, though, is how complicated road design or highway design can be. While roads can look simple to the untrained eye, much goes into planning and developing any form of roadway infrastructure. Here are a few of the considerations that an experienced highway design company can help guide:
- Road location. Surveyors can help planners or property developers find the best sites for roads and highways. This process involves considerations of property lines and boundaries, landscape features, topography, dangerous conditions (such as swampland or unstable ground) and more.
- Sizing considerations. How wide should a road be? How many lanes should it have? How far should it go? What other roads should it link up with? Part of a highway design service is answering questions such as these—answers that will determine how the road looks and how it is used in the future.
- Terrain factors. Sometimes, roads can be designed to avoid sharp rises or falls in topography, opting for paths through flatter terrain that are easier to drive. In other situations, though, these kinds of designs aren’t possible. Surveyors can help planners determine how to deal with building highways through hillier stretches—whether that means designing a road that follows the rise and fall of the terrain or using cut-and-fill or bridges as part of the highway design.
Related Services We Offer to Highway Design
Our services for highway design in Queenstown often relate directly to other types of projects that we handle. These related services include:
- Subdivision design. We frequently collaborate with property developers to help them plot new subdivisions. These services not only include consultative guidance on design of the subdivision itself, but also assistance with planning earthworks, utilities and roading throughout and around the subdivision (including driveways, neighbourhood roads and even state highway access).
- Site plan surveys. We also regularly work as part of construction projects for new buildings, providing topographic surveys and site plans that assist developers with building set out, project certification and more.
- Boundary surveys. Property boundaries are rarely marked in a permanent or highly visible way. Even if they are, those markings can fade or be lost to time. We work with clients to identify and ascertain property boundaries—vital information that guides many planning and design decisions.
