Service
Highway engineering
Approved by Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council for new and remedial work on the adopted highway. Section 278 and Section 38 schemes built to adoption standard.
Section 278 and Section 38 works
We build the highway works that get developments adopted: junctions, accesses, footways, kerb lines and highway drainage, set out and built to the council's specification and inspected as we go.
Our contract managers run each scheme from start to finish, and a director stays involved throughout. That matters when you're working to a planning condition or a handover date.
Small works that get the Final Certificate issued
Developers often reach the end of a scheme with a short list of remedial items between them and adoption. We're good at those jobs. They get programmed quickly and done properly first time, so the council can issue the Final Certificate.
What we do on the highway
- Section 278 junctions, accesses and footway changes
- Section 38 estate roads built to adoptable standard
- Footway construction and widening
- Kerb and channel replacement
- Highway drainage and gully replacement
- Remedial works for adoption
When thieves took more than 250 gully lids across the Wakefield area, Wakefield Council appointed us to reinstate them with anti-theft lids. It's the kind of quick, practical highway work councils keep coming back to us for.

Common questions
What is a Section 278 agreement?
An agreement under the Highways Act 1980 that lets a developer alter an existing public road to serve a development, such as a new junction, access or footway. The work must be built to the highway authority's standard by an approved contractor.
What is a Section 38 agreement?
An agreement for the council to adopt a new road a developer builds. Once it's built to standard and any remedial items are cleared, the council issues the Final Certificate and takes over maintenance.
Can you help close out an adoption that has stalled?
Yes. Send us the council's list of outstanding items and we'll price and programme them. Small remedial packages are a regular part of our work.
