Your infrastructure model is the datum. It can't be late.

Roads, grading, drainage, and utilities from concept through construction. The model every other discipline coordinates against, accurate from day one, adoption-ready at handover.

Why JES

Infrastructure modelling without the resource bottleneck

Production capacity without hiring

Road designers, drainage modellers, and utility coordinators from one studio. No recruitment. Capacity matched to your infrastructure programme.

Same standard, every engineer

ACA quality gates on every grading surface, pipe network, and road alignment. ERP-tracked. Same standard across every infrastructure package.

Single point of accountability

One team from grading through utilities. No coordination gaps between your civil model and every building that connects to it. One responsibility matrix.

What we deliver

Feasibility through adoption. One discipline

Three phases. Click any to expand the key processes, deliverables, and BIM requirements at that stage.

From topographic survey integration to fully coordinated civil infrastructure models. We develop grading, drainage, roads, and utilities designs that integrate with building and landscape models from the earliest project stage, so every design discipline shares a single baseline.

Key Processes

Survey data integration

Point clouds, topographic surveys, and existing utility records imported into Civil 3D with coordinate system alignment to project grid, so your design foundations are accurate from day one.

Grading and drainage modelling

Finished floor levels, platform levels, drainage networks, and pipe sizing coordinated across all disciplines, so conflicts are resolved in the model before earthworks begin.

Multi-discipline coordination

Civil surfaces and networks shared as linked references with architecture, structure, and landscape models at each design stage gate.

Deliverables

  • Topographic survey integration model
  • Grading & earthworks design (LOD 200)
  • Road alignment & cross-sections
  • Cut & fill volume calculations
  • Stormwater drainage network model
  • Foul drainage & sewer layouts

BIM Requirements

Survey & Utilities

Topographic data and utility records digitised with confidence levels per PAS 128. Coordinate system and tolerances defined before design starts.

Surface Modelling

Existing ground and proposed design surfaces modelled to 50mm vertical accuracy, verified against survey benchmarks at every design stage submission.

Data Exchange

IFC and LandXML exports validated for cross-platform interoperability. Civil 3D corridors and pipe networks exported with full attribute data intact.

Construction-ready civil infrastructure models with setting-out data, machine control surfaces, and fully resolved utility coordination, enabling accurate earthworks, drainage installation, and road construction across every discipline.

Key Processes

LOD 400 model development

Construction geometry with pipe invert levels, manhole details, kerb profiles, and sub-base layers modelled to installation tolerance, so contractors have exact dimensions for procurement and sequencing.

Machine control surface export

Finished grading surfaces and sub-formation surfaces exported in LandXML format for GPS-guided earthworks and paving equipment, so positioning is accurate to within design tolerance.

Utility coordination and protection

Existing and proposed utilities modelled with clearance zones, crossing details, and protection measures coordinated with statutory undertakers.

Deliverables

  • Construction-issue civil model (LOD 400)
  • Machine control surfaces (GPS grading)
  • Setting-out coordinate schedules
  • Drainage construction longsections
  • Road construction detail packages
  • Temporary works & phasing plans

BIM Requirements

Setout & Machine Control

Coordinates extracted at 10mm precision. Surfaces exported in LandXML, TIN, and manufacturer formats validated against design intent.

Drainage Compliance

Drainage designs verified against SfA or local authority standards. Gradients, cover depths, and manhole spacing per specification.

Temporary Works

Temporary structures modelled with design life and load capacity. Removal sequencing documented per CDM requirements.

As-built civil infrastructure verified against installed conditions, adoption-ready documentation packages, and asset data for highways authorities and utility adopting bodies, so handover is clean and complete.

Key Processes

As-built verification

Civil model updated from contractor survey data, CCTV drainage surveys, and GPS as-built records for all roads, drainage, and utility installations, so the model matches the ground.

Adoption documentation

Drainage records prepared per Water Authority requirements (S104) with manhole schedules, pipe runs, invert levels, and contributing area calculations, ready for authority sign-off.

Highway records and asset tagging

Road construction details, kerb alignments, footpath widths, and lighting column positions documented per S38/S278 adoption submission requirements with material type and design life embedded.

Deliverables

  • Verified as-built civil model (LOD 500)
  • CCTV survey correlation reports
  • Adoption-ready drainage records
  • Highway adoption documentation (S38/S278)
  • Asset register for adopted infrastructure
  • Model handover audit report

BIM Requirements

Accuracy & Adoption

As-built model verified within 25mm horizontal / 10mm vertical. Drainage records per Water Authority template with S104 approval.

Asset Classification

Assets classified per UKPMS or adopting body schema. Material type, condition grade, design life, and maintenance responsibility tagged.

Handover Format

Civil 3D + LandXML + IFC + PDF record drawings + GIS shapefiles per employer info and adopting authority standards.

Virtual Design & Construction

Validate cut and fill before breaking ground

Excavation, road construction, and utility routing phased against the model. Cut and fill volumes and earthwork budgets validated. Site logistics modelled. Reduces excavation surprises and change orders.

4D Earthworks Sequencing

Excavation phasing, haul routes, and equipment positioning tied to the model. Validated before breaking ground. Avoids access conflicts and rework.

OutputEarthworks phase animation · haul route plan

5D Earthworks Quantities

Cut and fill volumes and stockpile calculations extracted from the model. Budget validated before procurement. Track costs in real time.

OutputCut and fill volume report · stockpile cost tracker

Logistics Planning

Site access, delivery sequences, and phased handover modelled. Minimises trade congestion and waiting time. Keeps the critical path moving.

OutputLogistics simulation · delivery sequence plan

Civil work we've coordinated

Roadworks, drainage, utilities and earthworks coordinated against the building model. Cases where the civil infrastructure was the datum, not the afterthought.
