Why we need technical advisors

Road scheme development and assessment and the associated statutory process is complex. To provide a robust scheme development and assessment requires civil engineers, geologists, ecologists, transport planners, hydrologists, geographers, mapping specialists, 3D modelling specialists, sustainability experts, communications, engagement and consultation professionals and more. The project team has experts in all of these disciplines.

The various disciplines will undertake relevant assessment work and feed into the process that will be used to ultimately identify a preferred route option for realignment of the A75 at Springholm and Crocketford.

Jacobs staff have significant experience of working with Transport Scotland on road improvements in Scotland, including the A9 through the Highlands, the A96 in the North East and the A82 and A83 in Argyll. They will bring their experience together to develop plans to improve the A75 in the vicinity of the communities of Springholm and Crocketford.
