Design

Line Consulting involvement in the highways sector has predominantly involved bridges supporting motorways, trunk roads and principal roads together with pedestrian and cycleway bridges over these. Our highway bridge designs have been for bridges carrying new roads, new or replacement bridges carrying existing roads and for widening, strengthening or refurbishment of existing bridges. Our commissions have been associated with road improvements, new accesses to developments and to preserve routes over life-expired structures.

The Line Consulting Engineers team are highly experienced in the analysis, design and detailing of road, rail and waterway bridges, and other civil engineering structures. Our wide-ranging portfolio includes stations, multi-storey car parks, gantries, retaining walls, matrix boards, large format advertising structures and a multitude of bridge types. These projects span both permanent and temporary works.

Our expert knowledge in construction ensures that our designs are always buildable. Our qualified engineers use the latest software to create safe, sustainable and durable designs in line with your needs and budget.

Specific element analysis capabilities include complex static, dynamic and non-linear methods, including footfall analysis of sensitive structures, track-structure interaction analysis, blast analysis, building analysis and virtual wind tunnel modelling.

All our designs are compliant with the latest technical standards and industry codes of practice. These include the latest British Standards and Eurocodes, as well as Highways England and Network Rail Standards.
