Specialists in highway structures.
Infratek Services carries out inspections of bridges, culverts, subways, tunnels, retaining walls, sign and signal gantries and other highway structures, together with structural assessment and design, delivering reliable findings and practical recommendations.
Inspection built around your structure.
From routine general inspections to detailed principal inspections, assessment and design, we shape each commission around the structure and the decision that follows.
Principal inspections
Detailed close-up examination of all accessible parts of a structure, normally on a six-year cycle, with condition ratings and prioritised remedial works.
General inspections
Visual condition checks between principal inspections, typically every two years, ideal for large programmes of structures.
Confined space inspections
Safe entry into box girders, culverts, subways and hollow abutments, with gas monitoring and rescue cover.
Structural assessment
Load assessment of bridges, masonry arches and retaining walls to CS 454, with weight limit advice and repair options.
Design & calculation checks
Independent checks and strengthening design for structures, including retaining walls and bridge repairs.
Highway & road design
Carriageway, junction, footway and drainage design from options through to construction drawings.
Every type of highway structure, of every size.
We inspect and report on the full range of structures that highway authorities manage.
Bridges
All bridge types, including:
Subways & culverts
Below-ground structures:
Retaining walls
Inspection, assessment and strengthening design of retaining walls of all forms and sizes.
Gantries & signs
Sign and signal gantries and cantilever road signs, inspected and reported to the required standard.

Clear evidence, delivered in the format you need.
Our inspection teams plan access, traffic management and safe systems of work before arriving, then record condition consistently so reports are easy to act on.
- Principal and general inspections to CS 450, in line with the Well-Managed Highway Infrastructure Code of Practice

Capability where access is difficult.
Box girders, culverts, subways and hollow abutments need careful planning. We assess risk, plan entry and keep rescue cover in place, then collect the evidence the engineering question needs.
