Tailored Highway Design Solutions – From Concept to Completion
At Gadsden Consulting, we provide professional highway design services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, user, and client. With over 30 years of experience and a proven track record of delivering successful Section 278 and Section 38 highway schemes, we’re trusted partners in designing safe, effective, and sustainable highways across a wide range of developments.

Our dedicated team of civil engineers can support your project from initial feasibility to final adoption. We understand the complex requirements involved in highway design and offer a full suite of services to ensure your development is fully compliant and efficiently delivered.
We specialise in the delivery of S278 and S38 agreements, ensuring smooth coordination with local highways authorities. Our team manages the design, submission, and approval processes, saving you time and helping avoid unnecessary delays.
Highway design often goes hand in hand with effective drainage planning. That’s why we offer integrated foul and surface water drainage design alongside your highway layout, including:
Level and gradient planning
Attenuation and flow control systems
Sewer adoption applications (Section 104)
Coordination with LLFA, Local Authorities, and the Environment Agency
Using advanced ground modelling software, we can digitally reconstruct your site to provide highly accurate vertical and horizontal alignments for your road networks. This allows us to:
Optimise cut-and-fill quantities
Minimise material import/export
Reduce construction risk and costs
