Roads & Bridges

The world is full of people on the move, the transportation projects engineered by MARATHON Consultants, connecting people and places, are more than ever before. Roads and bridges provide a crucial service transporting people to work, moving goods Projects Reference to market, and facilitating the dynamics of everyday life.We have decades of experience in planning and designing roads and bridges. Our extensive portfolio encompasses everything from corridor assessments to construction services. We have what it takes to analyze your goals and objectives to tailor an approach that will provide you with the best result for the best value.

MARATHON Engineering consultants offer services in relation to new build as well as the maintenance and upgrading of existing roads, bridges and infrastructure. These services have been delivered both in the form of traditional design on behalf of a public or private body, as well as in design/build contracts where we have acted for a contractor bringing innovation and economy to previously designed schemes. In conjunction with these activities we provide traffic and environmental reporting, geotechnical design, road safety auditing and a range of other support functions. In more than thirty years of providing bridge engineering, we have amassed enormous experience in all aspects of the sector, from the inspection and assessment and conservation of existing bridges to the provision of exciting new structures in conjunction with architectural firms. MARATHON has the ability to bring schemes from feasibility stage, through planning and oral hearing stages and finally to design, procurement and construction stages.

Our Roads & Bridges Experience

MARATHON has completed roads and bridges projects for the majority of Local Authorities in Middle‐East. These projects have been in both urban and rural settings and have involved masonry, concrete, steel and timber bridges spanning roads, rivers, railways and canals. In addition to working directly for the scheme owner, we have developed and designed a new bridging system for a Pre‐casting company and provided independent checking and certification services.

How we work within the industry

The provision of new public roads & bridges is a key activity in any developing country, and as the infrastructure matures, the need for inspection and maintenance increases. Projects also become more complex and may draw on many different consultancy disciplines. For example, a recent design/build competition for motorway service areas including new grade‐separated interchanges also required the development of the fuel and rest facilities. Our ability to provide expert Road and Bridge services in conjunction with our Civil and Structural engineering services is a crucial asset in each of these projects.

How we help our clients

While state bodies traditionally procured the majority of road & bridge schemes, many designs are now procured by developers or contractors. Each client therefore has a different perspective of what is required from the designer. While a Local Authority may focus purely on experience in Road and Bridge schemes, a developer may take a broader view of the consultant’s ability to deliver a major commercial development, which happens to also include some roads and bridges. Similarly, a contractor who approaches MARATHON in the context of design/build or value engineering is looking for innovation, economy and reliability, all of which we have proven through our past project experiences.

Our multi‐disciplinary services

The success of MARATHON in adapting and working with our varying client demands demonstrates the broad ability and relevance of our multi‐disciplinary services. It is seldom that road and bridge design are required in isolation and the many other strands that MARATHON offers such as Transportation & Railway, Environmental, Geotechnical, MARATHON Health & Safety and MARATHON Project Management all complement each project we undertake, providing a comprehensive service to all of our clients.
