Sub-Core's services can be deployed individually or as a fully integrated package — whichever delivers the most value for your project. We plug in where you need us most.
01 — Service
Statutory Utilities Co-ordination
Early engagement with utility companies to identify conflicts, negotiate solutions and prevent the costly, programme-critical diversions that derail highways projects.
Pre-design utility records & verificationObtaining, collating and verifying statutory utility records to build an accurate picture of what lies beneath the surface.
Conflict identification & resolutionSystematic clash detection and early negotiation with utility owners to resolve conflicts before they hit the programme.
Utility diversion design & managementWhere diversions cannot be avoided, we manage the process from design and agreement to construction and reinstatement.
02 — Service
Site Surveys & Site Investigation
Accurate, detailed and efficient ground information is the foundation of every good design. Our survey and investigation capability reduces uncertainty, informs decision-making and gives contractors the confidence to price effectively.
Topographic & measured surveysHigh-accuracy topographic surveys providing the spatial data needed for precise highway and utility design.
Ground investigation managementProcurement, supervision and reporting of intrusive and non-intrusive ground investigation to characterise site conditions.
Utility scanning & detectionGround-penetrating radar and CAT scanning to locate buried services not captured in utility records.
03 — Service
2D & 3D CAD Drawings
State-of-the-art digital modelling for precision, efficiency and coordination. Our CAD capability spans 2D production drawings through to full 3D highway models that improve contractor efficiency and reduce the construction programme.
2D AutoCAD design & production drawingsComprehensive 2D drawing packages including general arrangements, drainage designs and utility coordination drawings.
3D highway modellingFull 3D highway models enabling accurate earthworks calculations, clash detection and contractor-ready design information.
Digital coordination & visualisationFederated 3D models combining highway, utilities and structures information to eliminate design clashes before construction.

How we engage
A disciplined path from brief to completion.
Understand
We start with your project objectives, constraints and programme — understanding where the risks lie and where we can add the most value.
Survey & Record
Topographic surveys, ground investigation and utility record gathering provide the accurate, reliable data that good design depends on.
Design & Coordinate
2D and 3D designs, coordinated with utilities and authorities, documented and approved — ready for construction.
Deliver & Support
On-site supervision, inspection and records through construction, ensuring the project is built to design, to programme and to budget.
