Highway works

Section 278 Agreements

When a development needs to alter, improve or connect into the public highway, that work is carried out under a Section 278 agreement with the local highway authority. We handle the on-the-ground works this involves — built to adoptable standards, coordinated with the council's own engineers from first dig to final surface.

We work alongside developers, civil engineering consultants and principal contractors, taking on the highway element of a scheme as part of a wider build or as a standalone package.
