Commercial Development
Practical, fully coordinated civil engineering design for residential and commercial schemes — road geometry, earthworks modelling, drainage, kerbing and pavement design.
Civil · Highways · Transport Engineering
Engineering the infrastructure that moves communities forward.
Mellor Brook Group is a civil and highways engineering consultancy turning complex challenges into safe, sustainable and buildable solutions — led personally by our Partners from concept to completion.
Who we are
A consultancy built on expertise, driven by ambition.
Founded by a team of Chartered Engineers who connected early in their careers, Mellor Brook Group was created with a shared vision: a consultancy that gives back to the community. We put people, sustainability and community impact at the heart of every engineering solution.
Our expertise spans civil engineering, highways, drainage and transport — a trusted, client-focused approach backed by genuine technical excellence. Defined by design. Shaped by solutions.
More about us
What we do
Seven disciplines, one coordinated team.
From the first feasibility sketch to construction-ready models, we cover the full lifecycle of highway and infrastructure design — joined up, compliant and buildable.
Major Highways
Section 38/278 design, Smart Motorways, Active Travel schemes, junction improvements, traffic-flow assessments and road safety works to national standards.
S38 / S278 Planning & Development
Adoptable highway and infrastructure design that carries developers from concept through technical approval to handover and adoption.
3D Modelling & Analysis
Full 3D modelling, clash detection, visualisation and BIM integration using Civil 3D and Navisworks to de-risk delivery and prove constructability.
Operational Road Safety
Feasibility studies, concept layouts, technical due diligence, GG104 safety audits, tender documentation and utility coordination.
Drainage & Transport Planning
Drainage and SuDS strategies, flood-risk assessment and transport planning that support both planning applications and construction.
Intelligent Transportation Systems
Design and technology management for ITS — variable message signs, traffic signals, emergency refuge areas, CCTV and the networks behind them.

Selected work
Schemes our team has helped deliver.
A snapshot of the highway, active travel and infrastructure projects our Partners and team have shaped across the UK and Isle of Man.
Smart Motorways
National Highways Corridor Improvements
As part of the delivery team, we contributed to multi-million-pound corridor improvement schemes under the Smart Motorway Alliance and Area 10 Design Services Contract — spanning pavement renewals, All Lane Running upgrades, interchange and barrier enhancements and ITS-led road safety along the M40, M42 and A55.
Active Travel
Deansgate to Chorlton Active Travel
Part of the delivery team on a £13m infrastructure programme providing high-quality segregated cycle facilities to Chorlton Park & Metrolink — including CYCLOPS junctions, traffic-signal modelling, swept-path analysis, drainage and full tender documentation.
Residential
Isle of Man Residential Development
Civil engineering design and infrastructure coordination for a 30+ plot residential development. A 3D model informed finished levels and earthworks, with construction packs prepared for adoption under S4/S109 — carriageways, footways, kerbing and drainage.
ITS & Safety
Smart Motorways Programme — ORS & ITS
Design and technology management for the Smart Motorways Programme to DMRB, MCHW and BIM standards — siting and design of VMS, signals, emergency refuge areas, CCTV and comms, plus traffic-flow assessments, alignment design and GG104 safety audits.
Why MBG
Partner-led delivery, to the standards that matter.
Every project is led personally by our Partners — ensuring accountability, clear communication and exceptional results from concept to completion. We design to the frameworks the industry trusts.

- Personal accountability. A Partner owns your project end to end — not a rotating cast of juniors.
- Buildable by design. 3D-first workflows in Civil 3D and Navisworks catch clashes before site does.
- Compliance as standard. DMRB, MCHW, GG104 and BIM baked into every deliverable.
- Community at the core. Safer roads, smarter transport and infrastructure that strengthens places.
What we stand for
Values that shape every decision.
Engineering Excellence
We pursue engineering excellence through innovation, creativity and technical integrity — and we hold ourselves to high standards. Our care for precision and well-considered ideas drives work that is robust, efficient and built to last.
Client-Focused
We put clients at the heart of everything we do, building trusted partnerships and delivering work that meets the brief and stands up on site. We listen, adapt and respond quickly so every client receives a tailored, meaningful experience.
Sustainability
We design with responsibility, balancing innovation with environmental and social impact. Sustainability guides our choices, ensuring our work benefits both today’s needs and future generations.
Health, Safety & Wellbeing
We prioritise the wellbeing of our people, clients and communities by upholding the highest safety standards. Health and safety is not negotiable — it is a responsibility we share and live by every day.
Charity at the Core
We believe success is measured not only in business outcomes but in the positive impact we create by giving back. A portion of our earnings is set aside to support meaningful causes and strengthen our communities.
Inclusive & Diverse
We celebrate individuality and foster an environment where every voice is valued, respected and empowered. Our strength lies in diversity — we embrace different perspectives to create better outcomes for all.
