Scheme Identification & Prioritisation

Target the right works - where they matter most

Make Every Decision Count

  • Identify high-risk sections

    Use surface condition, skid resistance, traffic load, and crash history to locate problem areas.

  • Rank by urgency and impact

    Prioritise based on severity, strategic importance, safety risk, and available funding.

  • Back your choices with evidence

    Build robust, auditable business cases using validated data and standardised processes.

  • Reduce reactive work

    Plan works proactively to reduce emergency repairs and unplanned disruption.

Build Better Schemes with Data-Driven Prioritisation

W.D.M. Limited helps highways authorities identify, assess, and prioritise maintenance schemes using trusted data and expert insight. Whether you’re managing limited budgets or responding to safety pressures, we help you pinpoint where interventions are needed – and back decisions with evidence.

Our approach combines condition data, safety risks, and network value to build clear, defensible schemes that support funding, reduce delays, and deliver long-term impact.
