Designing highways is driven by the need to connect people with places. Whether you’re implementing improvements and updates or building a totally new road, the design must always bring benefits to the communities it links.

Tern design carries out feasibility studies, designs and construction supervision for highways, urban and rural roads.

Tern Designs has been able to design a Civil 3D XML script of the Ministry of Works Roads’ manual in Uganda. This has helped Highway Engineers and Highway Engineering companies to design roads accurately, in time, and with minimal variations from the requirements of road design from the Ministry of Works of Uganda.
