About

National Highways awarded a contract to WSP UK Ltd for the review and update of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) with Drainage content.

The contract, valued at AUD 244,739.08, involved aligning the DMRB with the new MCHW to ensure a complete set of technical and contract requirements, incorporating design requirements and guidance from the current MCHW, and addressing areas where the new MCHW requires design decisions.

The updated DMRB documents were required to demonstrate a clear and consistent flow of requirements to relevant MCHW clauses and/or Work Specific Requirements (WSRs).

The scope included considering opportunities for more efficient and effective practices in design, construction, maintenance, and operations, reviewing innovative SuDS designs to reflect current best practice for the SRN, and creating a new DMRB document for Chambers.

The documents and process were subject to National Highways' Manual for Development of Documents (MDD).

Drafting was to be completed and submitted to the Technical Standards Committee (TSC) for consultation by January 2024, with TSC consultation completed by August 2024 and final documents ready for publication.
