Highway and road
design

Feasibility studies, detailed design, topographic survey and technical audit for roads and highways.

Approach

Highway and road design

We take on highway projects from feasibility studies and SNIP documentation through to detailed design and the review of designs produced by others.

Geometric design follows criteria of road safety, operability and buildability. We apply national and international standards, working from real operating speeds, safe curve radii and widening for vehicle swept paths.

During construction we provide full technical control, with periodic progress reports, test documentation and photographic records.

Capabilities

What we do

Highway and road design in Paraguay: feasibility studies, detailed design, technical audit, traffic studies and drainage. IDB and CAF programmes, MOPC, CREMA and CCOMA.

Geometric design

Horizontal and vertical alignment and cross sections, against criteria of safety, operability and buildability.

Traffic studies

Volumes, vehicle composition and flow behavior, to size each element of the infrastructure.

Topographic survey

Photogrammetric and conventional techniques, producing the precision base mapping that lets an alignment be optimized.

Pavement structural analysis

Load capacity verification, improvement alternatives and sizing on technical and economic criteria.

Road hydraulics and drainage

Reconciled with the relief and the local context, with critical sections verified through specific modeling.

Feasibility and SNIP

Technical, economic and environmental feasibility documentation under SNIP, Paraguay’s public-investment methodology, for multilateral programmes.

Audit and design review

Verification of regulatory compliance and design consistency, and review of budgets and technical specifications.

Experience

Experience

Highway projects for national agencies and multilateral programmes.
