Highways and Footpaths

Here at Hopkinson Civil Engineering, we employ a team of skilled operatives who are extensively trained and certified for working on existing highways and footpaths, and constructing new access ways.

Highways and footpaths are an essential part of any project old or new throughout Manchester and Oldham, and here are some of the ways in which we can assist.

Traffic calming

Traffic calming is a way in which you can improve the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and motorists all at once. It can both physically reduce traffic flow in a required area and encourage people to drive more responsibly, by using a variety of tools, designs and road safety measures.

Kerbing

Kerbing for highways and footpaths are often one of the last things to be considered, yet they are one of the most crucial aspects of the job. Our kerbing options are strong and durable, able to weather the trials of their purpose.

Flagging and block paving

There are many different paving options for your highways and footpaths project, which includes flagging and block paving. Both flagging and block paving have their own benefits to suit different aesthetics and purposes.

Street furniture

No highway or footpath is complete without the necessary street furniture. By this, we are referring to the likes of benches, streetlights, road signs, bollards, traffic lights and much more.

Before any installation of street furniture, we always take into account not only aesthetics, but also function, pedestrian mobility and road safety.

Tarmac

Tarmac is short for tarmacadam, an easily installed, long lasting and durable surfacing material for highways and footpaths. The term is also often used synonymously with modern asphalt concrete, especially in the UK.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, Tarmac has been the leading material used for surfacing roads of all kinds.
