Infrastructure Coordination

Every discipline on one drawing, designed by one engineer. Site levels, utilities, external works, and drainage coordinated from the start, so nothing clashes on site and nothing falls between the gaps.

The Challenge

Development Sites Don't Fail on One Discipline. They Fail Between Them.

A housing development is never just one engineering problem. It's site levels that need to work with the drainage. Drainage that needs to clear the utility routes. Utility routes that need to fit around the road geometry. And all of it needs to be buildable in a logical sequence.

When these disciplines are designed in isolation, by different engineers, at different firms, at different times, clashes are inevitable. A sewer that conflicts with a service corridor. Finished floor levels that don't tie into the road design. Retaining walls that weren't accounted for in the earthworks balance. Each clash means redesign, delay, and cost.

ALD Design coordinates all infrastructure disciplines under one roof, designed by one senior engineer. When everything is drawn on the same model by the same person, conflicts are resolved at the design stage, not discovered on site.

What We Deliver

Integrated Design Across Every Discipline

Every element of your site infrastructure designed together, by one engineer, from the start. No gaps, no clashes, no surprises on site.

Site Levels & Earthworks

Finished floor levels set to balance drainage, access, and visual amenity
Platform design and grading to optimise cut and fill balance
Retaining wall and structure design where level changes demand it
Earthworks volume calculations and material management strategies

Utilities Coordination

Service routing designed to avoid conflicts with drainage and structures
Utility diversion design and coordination with existing apparatus
Statutory undertaker liaison and combined service trench design
Clear separation distances maintained between all services

External Works Design

Hard and soft landscaping interface design and coordination
Boundary treatments, fencing, and retaining wall specification
Access roads, shared surfaces, and car parking layouts
Finished levels and gradients for driveways, paths, and garden areas

Integrated Drainage Design

Foul and surface water drainage coordinated as a single system
Outfall design and connection agreements with water companies
Pumping station design and adoption where gravity drainage isn't viable
Drainage routes designed around utility corridors and site constraints

Our Approach

One Engineer. Every Discipline. Zero Gaps.

The biggest risk in infrastructure coordination isn't any single discipline. It's the spaces between them. When drainage is designed by one firm, levels by another, and utilities by a third, nobody owns the interfaces. That's where clashes live.

Everything designed by one engineer. When the same person designs the levels, drainage, utilities, and external works, nothing falls between disciplines.

Designed for buildability, not just compliance. Drawings are structured around construction sequencing, so what looks right on paper actually works on site.

Direct communication means faster decisions. No waiting for one consultant to check with another. Questions get answered by the person who designed the whole scheme.
