Highway and Road Design
Engineering Safe, Efficient and Cost‑Effective Road Infrastructure
At WML Consulting Engineers, we design roads and highways that safely connect communities, support efficient transport, and stand the test of time.
Our Highway and Road Design service combines local Western Australian experience with proven engineering practice to deliver solutions for public agencies, developers and resource‑sector clients throughout the state.
What We Offer
Our Highway and Road Design team provides end‑to‑end civil engineering services from initial feasibility through to detailed design and construction‑ready documentation:
Support During Construction Phase
WML helps ensure the design and specification requirements are achieved during the construction phase. WML also provides a practical assessment of issues that arise during the construction phase to help deliver best for project outcomes.
Independent Verification
For major infrastructure or contract requirements, WML can provide independent verification of pavement designs prepared by other consultants.
This service provides an objective assessment to confirm that designs:
Meet relevant engineering standards and guidelines
Align with project specifications and operational requirements
Reflect appropriate geotechnical and material considerations
Independent verification provides additional confidence for project owners, contractors, and approving authorities
Structural Pavement Design for Urban & Rural Roads
We design pavements and surfacing for both urban and rural roads, tailored to traffic volumes, subgrade conditions, and local site requirements. Our designs balance durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance for safe, long-lasting road networks.
Intersection & Junction Design
Whether it’s roundabouts, signalised intersections or heavy‑vehicle turning layouts, our designs prioritise safety and efficient traffic flow through all road types.
Pavement, Drainage & Earthworks Design
We tailor pavement structures to anticipated traffic loads and local materials, and integrate effective drainage solutions to manage stormwater, embankments and cut/fill stability.
Geometric and Detailed Design
Our civil engineers produce detailed designs in accordance with Austroads and Main Roads Western Australia standards, ensuring safe road geometry, intersections, transitions and cross‑sections for both urban and rural conditions.
Concept & Feasibility Studies
We work with clients to assess alignment options, traffic demands, terrain challenges and regulatory requirements — creating efficient, cost‑effective road design concepts from the outset.
