Roads and Highways

Efficient highways networks have a fundamental and wide-ranging effect on a nation’s economic, environmental and social prosperity. In order to maintain and improve these, highways authorities rely on the services of consultants who possess the expertise and in-depth knowledge required to deliver managed motorway schemes incorporating active traffic management.

From minor improvements to major motorway schemes, national and local authorities and contractors also need consultants who can deliver in the most sustainable way.

With an excellent record for completion on time and to budget and an enthusiasm for collaborative working, Gifford takes responsibility, delivering efficient, reliable and safe solutions throughout the design life cycle. On a large number of motorway schemes, our adaptable gantry systems also support the increasingly sophisticated traffic management systems now specified.

In addition, our environmental specialists are assisting the Highways Agency with the development and implementation of their tools and approaches to carbon accounting and climate change adaptation. Recent ECI projects on which Gifford played a pivotal role have also received awards for safety, exemplary delivery and the sympathetic combination of highway and environmental design.  

On smaller projects, our safe and sustainable solutions are designed to meet the require-ments of highway adoption and planning procedures, including Section 38, 278 and 106 Agreements.
