Home/Projects
Selected projectsSchemes designed, managed and built.
A cross-section of work spanning two decades, from a national first in roundabout design to a bus gate carried over an existing rail bridge. Each of these was designed and project managed personally.
Running Horse Roundabout
Conversion to the UK's first turbo roundabout of its kind.
One of the busiest junctions in Kent, redesigned and project managed through to completion. Innovative use of signing, road markings and materials delivered the road safety benefits while keeping long-term asset management costs down.
Construction was programmed specifically to maintain public access during the day, a constraint that shaped both the design and the delivery sequence rather than being worked around afterwards.
- UK first
- Design & project management
- Traffic management planning
Elwick Road / Avenue Jacques Faucheux
Major junction reconfiguration and public realm works.
Principal project manager and designer for a high-profile reconfiguration of two major traffic signal junctions in Ashford town centre, delivering Section 106 elements on behalf of a new college.
The scheme required leading a multi-disciplinary team of internal and external professionals across design, mobilisation and construction, with extensive stakeholder engagement throughout, because a town centre location leaves very little room for anything to go unnoticed.
- Signalised junctions
- Section 106 delivery
- Multi-disciplinary team lead
Flanders Roundabout
The UK's earliest interpretation of a Dutch-style turbo roundabout.
An early adoption of a design approach well established in the Netherlands but largely untried here. Innovative application of signage, road markings and materials promoted road safety while minimising the ongoing asset management burden.
A permanent First World War memorial was integrated into the design, after which the roundabout was subsequently named.
- Turbo roundabout
- Memorial integration
- Innovative materials
Bluebell Road / A2070 Bus Gate
Change of use to an existing bridge, with new traffic signals.
Design and project management of the conversion of a bridleway bridge to carry bus traffic, a change of use requiring extensive liaison with Network Rail and Highways England, now National Highways.
Structural engineers assessed parapet and applied load suitability, and a road restraint system was designed for both bridge approaches. That element of the design was informed directly by the lessons of the 1992 Salisbury rail crash.
- Network Rail liaison
- Road restraint systems
- Traffic signals
Tunbridge Wells Cycle Route
Cross-agency active travel infrastructure.
A comprehensive upgrade of existing infrastructure to accommodate cyclists, covering pavement design, signage, road markings, access control, site restrictions and a new crossing facility.
Delivered in partnership with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council acting as the client, a working arrangement that required careful handling of two authorities with different priorities and different processes.
- Active travel
- New crossing facility
- Cross-agency delivery
Organisations I have worked with
Developers, architects, established consultancies and local authorities, some as direct clients and some bringing me in as additional senior capacity on their own schemes.
Something similar in mind?
Most schemes are considerably more modest than these, and that is entirely fine. The same approach applies whether it is a single access or a junction reconfiguration.
