Section 278 Works

Section 278 works refer to highway improvements carried out by developers as a condition of planning consent, under an agreement with the local highway authority. These works are essential for integrating new developments with existing public highways and must be delivered by approved and licensed contractors. 

As a trusted and licensed highways contractor, we are approved to carry out Section 278 works across London Boroughs and Local Authorities. Our team has extensive experience in managing complex infrastructure projects while minimising disruption to local communities and road users. 

Our Section 278 Services Include: 

  • Full compliance with local authority and TfL standards 
  • Traffic management planning and implementation 
  • Road widening, junction upgrades, and signal installations 
  • Footway and carriageway construction 
  • Drainage and utility coordination 

We work collaboratively with developers, local authorities, and design teams from the earliest stages of a project. Through Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), we help identify potential engineering challenges and offer practical, cost-effective solutions that support smooth project delivery. 

With a strong focus on safety, quality, and stakeholder engagement, we ensure that all Section 278 work is completed to the highest standards—on time and with minimal disruption.
