At EPG, we don’t just draw lines on a plan. We help shape the spaces where people live and work.
Our civil engineering design team turns ideas into reality with smart, practical designs for roads, drainage, earthworks, and more. From concept to construction, we work alongside you to find the best way forward, saving time, cutting costs, and making approvals a whole lot smoother.
• Drainage design (foul, surface water, and SuDS)
• Roads, access and highways (including Section 278 & 38)
• Earthworks and level strategies (cut and fill, earthworks specification)
• Flood risk advice and water management (see Water Management for more information)
• Construction drawings and detailing
• Adoption packs for water and highway authorities (including S185, S104, S106, S278, S38)
We work on everything from housing estates to airports, industrial parks to schools, designing with both the ground beneath your feet and the bigger picture in mind.
• Experienced engineers who actually listen
• Joined-up thinking across planning, hydrology, and environmental
• Friendly, honest advice (no jargon, no drama)
• Tools that talk to planners, contractors, and BIM workflows
Let’s get your site moving in the right direction.
In short: it’s the bit that makes a site usable. Think roads, drainage, levels, access — all the stuff that connects your project to the real world. Architects design the building, we design everything around it.
We work with developers, architects, planners, contractors – anyone bringing a site to life. We’ve worked on housing developments, retail parks, schools, green energy projects, and more.
Yes — and it’s our specialism. Whether it’s ponds, swales, soakaways, or permeable paving, we don’t just design SuDS that tick all the boxes, we write a lot of the industry guidance that informs best practice.
Yes. We design access points, visibility splays, turning heads, always aiming to make life easier for highways teams. We’ll also handle Section 278 or Section 38 agreements when needed.
We always design with buildability and budget in mind — not just what works on paper. That means sensible gradients, efficient drainage runs, and layouts that reduce dig, export, and materials. We also flag risks early so you’re not paying to fix problems later. Value engineering isn’t just a buzzword — it’s how we work.
Yes — we’ll prepare everything you need for sewer and highway adoptions (S104/S38/S278), and we’ll talk directly to water companies and councils to help get your scheme approved faster.
The earlier, the better. We can help spot tricky constraints early, guide the drainage strategy, and steer the layout to maximise opportunities and avoid nasty surprises later. Bring us in at concept or planning stage for maximum benefit.
We’re a civil engineering team inside a broader environmental consultancy — so we see the bigger picture. That means more joined-up thinking, fewer clashes, and smarter designs from day one.
Absolutely. We’ve got in-house hydrologists and drainage specialists who work alongside our civil engineers. We don’t just design to avoid flooding — we design to work with water, not against it.
We’re based in the UK and work worldwide. We can respond quickly and provide bespoke solutions – wherever your site is based.
