Specialist tunnel operations and safety consultancy, independently delivered.

Road tunnels are among the most safety-critical assets on the road network. We provide the specialist expertise to keep them compliant, operationally effective and safe for everyone who uses them.

Specialist experience in road tunnel safety.

Managing a road tunnel safely is a complex, highly regulated undertaking. The Road Tunnel Safety Regulations 2007 place significant obligations on Tunnel Managers, Safety Officers and Inspection Entities, requiring robust documentation, regular exercises, independent oversight and clear lines of accountability.

Our team has hands-on experience of road tunnel operations and safety across the UK and internationally. We understand the systems, the regulations and the operational realities involved. The advice we give is independent, proportionate and practical, helping you meet your obligations without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

We work with tunnel operators, highway authorities, contractors and clients at all stages, from the design and construction phase through to long-term operation and maintenance.

The independence requirement
Under Regulation 10 of the Road Tunnel Safety Regulations 2007, the Tunnel Safety Officer must be independent in respect of road tunnel safety issues, free from instruction by their employer on those matters. Our TSOs meet this requirement in full.
