Highways

Connecting people

Highways are an essential element in connecting people and places, and in enabling the movement of goods. As the number of journeys made for business and leisure continues to increase and diversify across different modes, here at AtkinsRéalis, we’re helping our clients reimagine, reinvent and re-energise infrastructure to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.

We’ve been delivering major highway projects for public-sector clients across the world for decades, working on a wide range of projects that include the delivery of large highway improvement schemes and smart motorways on the strategic road network in the UK and delivering new tolling systems in America.

More recently we’ve been supporting our UK local authority clients to adapt to the policy changes that put active travel and sustainable transport at the forefront of the movement of people and goods by repurposing existing highway infrastructure to meet various policy objectives around climate change, health and Net Zero.

We help our clients embrace new ideas such as digital engineering, implement inclusive designs for use by all and adopt a safe design approach, as well as embed sustainability into everything we do. We solve some of the most complex engineering problems – applying innovative thinking, pioneering technologies and delivering outstanding projects to create the best outcome for clients and society, every single time.

Wellbeing and work-life balance are core to the way we work, and we’re continuously evolving to build and maintain a community that shares the belief that everyone’s voice is valuable and should be treated equally.

That’s why we are different - and why we are one of the most prominent highway consultants in the world.

Key projects

Our planning and design consultancy work involves developing solutions to enhance our clients’ ability to meet customer needs. From initial feasibility studies and preliminary design, through to supervision of on-site delivery, our technical design teams have worked with a variety of clients to develop the right solutions to service network needs.

Our role as digital leaders puts us at the forefront of intelligent mobility – a development that will change the way the world travels. Combined with increasingly sophisticated driverless technologies, our clients are integrating intelligent mobility into existing and new highways infrastructure, therefore delivering a safer and improved road user experience.
