THE Applus+ SOLUTION

Road engineering design involves planning and creating roadways to ensure safe and efficient transportation. Applus+ provides a comprehensive service for road design from the planning phase to the operation and maintenance one, conducting these engineering works:

  • Preliminary design
  • Feasibility studies
  • Detailed design projects
  • Road safety audits
  • As built projects
  • Urban development plans
  • Environmental impact assessments 
  • Expropriation projects

As a multidisciplinary company, we also offer:

  • Traffic Studies: Analysis of the expected traffic volume and types 
  • Alignment: The road's horizontal and vertical alignment ensures safe and efficient navigation.
  • Cross section design
  • Geometric design: Sight distance, superelevation (banking in curves), and cross slope (for drainage) to enhance safety
  • Intersections and interchanges: We design intersections and interchanges based on traffic flow and safety requirements
  • Pavement design: Selection of appropriate materials and pavement thickness based on soil conditions and expected traffic loads
  • Drainage: We implement effective drainage systems to manage water runoff and prevent flooding. This includes culverts, ditches, and stormwater management.
  • Safety features: We design safety features such as guardrails, signage, and road markings to enhance driver safety
  • Environmental impact analysis: Analysis of the environmental impact of the road design, including minimizing disruption to ecosystems and managing stormwater runoff
  • Utility relocation: Plan for the relocation of utilities like power lines and pipelines 
  • Cost estimates: Develop cost estimates for construction, including materials, labor, and equipment.
  • Regulatory compliance: We ensure the road design complies with local, state, and federal regulations and standards
