The works are undertaken to facilitate the HS2 Phase 2A construction traffic movement and to ensure no additional queuing and delays in comparison to the Do-Minimum option, as a result of additional HS2 construction traffic.
- As a highways engineer, I have been majorly responsible for following tasks:
- Delegating tasks, monitoring progress, addressing technical queries to our counterparts in India team REC.
- Review the design deliverables prepared by team of highway engineers and CAD technicians to ensure achieving high quality deliverables on time.
- Prepared the technical reports including SCEW specification document, multi-disciplinary reports and drafting departure applications for National Highways and Local authority councils.
- Maintaining efficient and proper communication within various disciplines, regarding various decisions and changes.

Some of the other tasks involved were profile optimization based on SSD requirements and maintaining cut-fill balance, corridor development in Civil 3D 2020 based on cross section details as per CD127. I also undertook 2D & 3D design of Full grade separated junctions (half clover leaf interchange), compact grade separated junctions, left in left out junctions, and parking lay-bys.
- I successfully delivered the GA drawings for public consultation, land boundary drawings, departure reports, detailed bill of quantities, design logs, assessment sheets to record each design assumptions and decisions taken in this stage of design.
- Binley Cycleway Design, Coventry City Council, UK
- 3D modelling of cycleway in urban location along with changes in junctions to maintain the proper cross fall along with design of road markings and traffic signs.
- I was responsible for 3D modelling of cycleway track in compliance with LTN1/20, by modifying existing carriageway layout in urban location for a design speed of 20kph using Civil 3D 2019. I also undertook the modifications of at grade junctions due to conversion of a lane on either side of central line to cycleway.
- It also involved traffic sign strategy, design of road markings and traffic signs along with their respective schedules. Involved in check in review process of drawings produced by CAD draftsman for final submission to client.
