Pavements are subjected to a variety of loads and exposed to the elements. Only sound engineering judgement, informed by experienced and qualified staff, can provide cost effective and appropriate solutions to our clients' pavement challenges.
GHD's engineers are skilled at developing sustainable, resilient and value driven pavement engineering solutions. Our teams draw on experience to design pavement solutions that stand up to the elements and both static and dynamic loads.
We undertake investigation, analysis, design and documentation services for the construction, rehabilitation and strengthening of pavements and industrial flooring. Our experience covers pavements for local roads, major highways, airport runways, and heavy industrial and haul roads.
Our pavement engineering includes developing specifications, rehabilitation designs, and pavement management systems. We inform our clients' investment and maintenance programmes through forensic investigations and assessments of economic impacts, materials, and use. We work side by side with construction phase partners to ensure benefits identified in design are realised in the as-built structures.
GHD helps guide industry best practice, having contributed to Industrial Flooring Standards in the UK advising on the technical updates to The Concrete Society Technical Report No34. Supported by our geotechnical experts, our pavement engineering service provides advice to make the most of our clients' projects, minimising flood risks and delivering cost benefits for wider schemes.
By combining multi-disciplinary skills with the latest in industry best practice guidance, we provide clients with cost effective and long lasting pavement solutions that stand up to the stresses they encounter. It is this reliability that brings clients back to GHD time and time again for their pavement engineering needs.
