How Much Do Highway Surveys Cost?
Highway surveys typically cost from £500 to £2,000, depending on the scope and specific requirements. The cost can vary based on factors like the size of the surveyed area, the type of survey conducted, and any specialised equipment needed.
For instance, employing Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for assessing subsurface utilities could affect the pricing. Additionally, traffic management plans may be necessary to safely conduct surveys on busy routes, and these can also influence costs.
Depending on the time of year, weather conditions might require the use of all-terrain vehicles for access to certain sites. We consider the specific standards and regulations relevant to each project's location and ensure our services are compliant.

How Are Highway Surveys Conducted?
At Leicester Surveys, we conduct highway surveys with precision to ensure reliable data collection and analysis. Our process includes:
Initial consultation to understand requirements, including traffic flow and environmental conditions.
Utilisation of specialist equipment such as total stations and GPS for data collection, ensuring precise geospatial measurements and mapping.
Detailed site inspections to assess current road conditions and identify issues such as surface wear and structural integrity, following industry standards like the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB).
Data analysis using software like AutoCAD Civil 3D to provide actionable insights, covering elements such as road alignment and drainage.
Compilation of a report with recommendations, tailored to client needs, whether it involves construction planning or maintenance strategies.
Our systematic approach ensures accurate and reliable results, aiding efficient highway management and safety improvements. Contact us today to arrange a consultation.
What Types of Highway Surveys Are Available?
We offer several highway survey types, including:
Topographical Surveys: Mapping road contours and features, topographical surveys use Total Stations and GPS equipment to provide precise data on road alignments, elevations, and boundaries. This information is crucial for design and planning purposes in civil engineering projects.
Road Condition Surveys: Evaluating surface wear and defects, these surveys use laser scanning and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to identify issues such as cracking, rutting, and surface deformation. The data contributes to road maintenance plans and lifecycle cost analysis.
Traffic Surveys: Analysing vehicle and pedestrian flows, traffic surveys employ automatic traffic counters and video analytics to measure volume, speed, and classification of road users. This information aids in traffic management strategies and junction redesigns.
Geotechnical Surveys: Investigating sub-surface conditions, we use boreholes and soil sampling to assess soil composition and stability. These surveys inform foundation design and infrastructure safety assessments.
Each type serves a unique purpose to meet specific project needs, ensuring comprehensive insights for planning and development. Contact us to discuss your project requirements.
