At Seeka, our surveyors are fully street works trained and qualified to establish their own Chapter 8 Traffic Management. When survey or utility works require access to the highway, we handle everything, from liaising with the highway authority and procuring the necessary orders to designing suitable layouts and coordinating with our trusted TM partners to keep our works safe and compliant.
We understand that traffic management can feel like a complication, but with the right team it becomes a straightforward part of delivering the job. Whether it’s a brief lane closure on a quiet country road or a full carriageway management scheme on a dual carriageway, we have the experience and the relationships to make it happen efficiently.
Teams across the UK rely on us because we:
Working on or adjacent to the public highway without properly designed and compliant traffic management puts lives at risk and exposes organisations to serious legal and reputational consequences. Professional TM ensures:
Even a short period of work on the public highway requires the right controls. Getting TM right from the outset protects people, the programme, and reputations.
Seeka Utility Surveys brings together a highly experienced team with decades of combined industry knowledge in utility detection, mapping, and highway works delivery.
We’ve provided traffic management support across a wide range of projects, including utility surveys on live carriageways, highways and transport infrastructure schemes, drainage investigations on A-roads and rural networks, and complex civil engineering works in constrained urban environments. If it involves surveying safely on the public highway, we have the skills and experience to support it.
Our street works trained surveyors can establish Chapter 8 TM independently, designing appropriate layouts for the specific conditions on site. We liaise directly with the relevant highway authority, drawing up proposed arrangements and procuring any necessary orders and permits so that works can proceed safely and without delay.
In many cases, working outside of peak traffic hours, early mornings, evenings, or overnight can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for formal traffic management. We always assess whether out-of-hours working is a viable option for your project and advise accordingly, helping to keep costs controlled without compromising safety.
We have extensive experience of working on high-speed and high-volume roads, including lane closures and mobile crash vehicle (MCV) operations on dual carriageways. These environments demand precise planning, clear layouts, and properly qualified operatives, all of which we employ as standard.
For works requiring full or partial road closures, or where temporary 2-, 3-, or 4-way signals are needed at junctions and interchanges, we work with our TM partners to design and implement solutions that keep traffic moving as freely as possible while protecting the workforce on site. We have experience across everything from quiet rural lanes to complex urban interchanges.
Where your organisation has its own in-house traffic management capabilities, or where TM is being supplied by a third party, our teams will work within that framework, coordinating works to make the best possible use of the available road space and keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.
Our surveyors operate across the UK, with particularly strong coverage across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, and Bristol and South Gloucestershire, as well as the wider South West and beyond.
We can mobilise quickly for planned works and are experienced in coordinating with local highway authorities across the region to secure approvals efficiently and keep your programme on track.
Seeka Utility Surveys stands out thanks to our:
Yes. Our surveyors are street works trained and qualified to design and establish Chapter 8 traffic management independently for the works we undertake.
No. Our TM service is for our own survey works only although we will accommodate client works if it coincides with our survey operations.
Yes. We manage the full process, including liaising with the relevant highway authority, designing suitable TM layouts, and procuring the necessary orders and permits on your behalf.
With our partners we cover a wide range, from lane closures and mobile crash vehicle operations on dual carriageways to road closures and temporary 2-, 3-, and 4-way signals on country roads and urban interchanges.
Absolutely. If you have in-house TM capabilities or a preferred TM supplier, we’ll coordinate with them and optimise our works within the road space available.
Often yes, and it’s something we actively explore with every client. Working when traffic flows are light can reduce or eliminate the need for formal traffic management, saving costs and minimising disruption. We’ll advise on whether it’s a viable option for your project.
We operate across the UK, with regular coverage throughout Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, the South West, and beyond.
