FAQ’s

Highway & Road Engineering questions

Clear information about our services and how we work with clients.

What road types does your highway team work on?

National highways, district roads, urban streets, community access roads, estate roads and industrial access routes, designed to UNRA standards, donor guidelines and international highway standards.

Can you produce tender-ready documents for road contracts?

Yes. We prepare drawings, specifications and contract documents, and can then supervise construction with a resident engineer on site.

How do you handle drainage in flood-prone areas?

We analyse catchments and stormwater runoff, then size culverts, drifts, side drains, mitre drains and scour checks to suit the site’s hydrology.
