Highways

Our expert teams provide engineering design and whole-life asset management advice, recommending solutions which maximise road capacity, reduce negative environmental impacts and strengthen our infrastructure for a more sustainable future.

We design and maintain assets on local and strategic roads, managing over 30,000kms of highways for National Highways, Transport Scotland, Department for Infrastructure (NI) and numerous local authorities.

Focusing on effective operational delivery, we provide cyclical and reactive maintenance, street lighting and winter maintenance services which keep local communities connected to vital services, enable more reliable journeys and leaving a legacy for future generations.

By using our design and data capabilities, we are uniquely positioned to advise clients on data-led enhancements for optimal asset management and on implementing capital investment projects. We recently designed the ‘UK’s first’ carbon neutral road improvement project – an£8mNational Highways carriageway reconstruction in Cumbria,reducing carbon by up to 43%compared to traditional solutions andsaving almost £3m.

Our approach offers a safer and smarter approach to infrastructure investment, by promoting the use of automation to improve safety, especially for those working on or alongside busy carriageways.

Street lighting

Street lighting is the single biggest use of energy for most local authorities. Amey’s innovative green lighting approach delivers cost savings to clients while significantly reducing emissions and waste.

Switching to green lighting delivers atypical energy of up to 75%compared to the use of high intensity discharge lamps.

We’re a leading provider in street lighting through the upgrade and maintenance of over600,000street lights across the UK.
