Highway Services
KLR provides civil engineering and site services for highway and roadside infrastructure projects, from groundworks and drainage to fencing and vegetation management. Our experience delivering safety-critical works within controlled access environments applies directly to the demands of highway and road network projects, where traffic management, public safety and minimal disruption are always front of mind. Highway works often mean operating within live traffic environments under strict safety protocols, and our teams bring the same disciplined, methodical approach we’ve built delivering rail and utility infrastructure to roadside projects.
Whether it’s drainage installation to protect a road surface, fencing and barriers along a corridor, or vegetation clearance to maintain sightlines, KLR offers highway authorities and contractors a dependable partner for both planned works and urgent reactive jobs.
Backed by over 10 years’ experience delivering groundworks, fencing, drainage and access services across rail and infrastructure projects, we bring proven civil engineering capability to every highway project we work on.
Highway Groundworks
We carry out groundworks for highway projects, including excavation, sub-base preparation and site levelling. Our teams are experienced working within the safety and traffic management requirements typical of highway sites, delivering groundworks safely and to programme.
Roadside Drainage
Effective drainage is critical for highway safety and longevity. We design and install drainage systems to manage surface water along roadside infrastructure, helping protect road surfaces and surrounding land from water damage and flooding.
Roadside Fencing & Barriers
We install and maintain roadside fencing and boundary barriers, supporting both safety and site security along highway corridors. Our teams work efficiently within live highway environments, minimising disruption while delivering fencing to the required specification.
Verge & Vegetation Management
vergrown verges and vegetation can obstruct sightlines and signage along highways. We provide vegetation clearance and ongoing management to keep roadside corridors safe and compliant, supporting clear visibility for drivers and maintaining the condition of highway land.
Structural Repairs
Our structural repair teams carry out remedial works on highway infrastructure such as retaining structures and bridge elements. We assess and repair damage to maintain safety standards, working within the access and safety constraints of live highway environments.
Emergency & Reactive Works
Highway issues, whether fencing damage, drainage failure or vegetation hazards, need a fast response to keep roads safe. Our teams are equipped to mobilise quickly for reactive works, helping highway authorities and contractors resolve urgent issues promptly.
