Roadway & Street Design to Be Built in Texas
A road has to fit the terrain, drain, and carry the traffic it was built for. Magrym delivers roadway and street design across Midland and the Permian Basin, from public streets and county roads to lease roads and low water crossings, engineered to clear review and hold up under load. Magrym provides roadway design services in Texas built to move traffic, drain correctly, and clear review the first time.
From Alignment to a Buildable Road
Roadway and street design is the civil engineering that turns a route into a road. It sets the horizontal and vertical alignment, the cross section, the drainage, and the pavement so the road fits the ground, carries the traffic, and gets water off the surface. Whether it is a subdivision street, a county road, or a lease road to a facility, the design has to satisfy the standard and build cleanly.
The cost of a roadway design shows up in the field. An alignment that fights the terrain moves too much dirt. A pavement section that is too thin fails early under load. A crossing that does not handle the flow washes out. Magrym engineers the road to fit the site, carry the traffic, and clear the reviewing authority so it gets built and stays built.
Because we survey the corridor and test the soil, the roadway starts from real ground and a known subgrade, not an assumption. Our licensed engineers deliver alignment, grading, drainage, and pavement design coordinated with the survey and the geotechnical, so the road is designed on the conditions it will actually be built on. You talk directly to the engineer on your project.
Roadway Design for Every Road Type
We cover the roadway scope your project needs, from subdivision streets to lease roads, built on real survey and soils data. Our transportation engineering services cover the full corridor, from concept to construction plans.
Public Streets and Subdivisions
We design the streets that serve residential and commercial subdivisions, to the city standard and coordinated with the plat and the utilities. ADA sidewalk design is included wherever the city standard requires it.
- Subdivision street design
- City standard compliance
- Curb, gutter, and sidewalk
County and Lease Roads
We design county roads and the lease and access roads that reach well sites and facilities, built for the loads and the terrain of the Permian Basin. This draws on the same highway engineering discipline used on public route design.
- County road design
- Lease and access roads
- Heavy load design
Low Water Crossings
We design the low water crossings and culverts that carry a road across a draw or a wash, sized for the flow so the crossing does not wash out. Roadway drainage like this is engineered to handle West Texas storm flows.
- Low water crossing design
- Culvert sizing and hydraulics
- Scour and erosion protection
Alignment and Geometry
We set the horizontal and vertical alignment and the cross section so the road fits the terrain, meets the design speed, and drains off the surface. Intersection design is part of that scope wherever streets or driveways meet.
- Horizontal and vertical alignment
- Cross sections and profiles
- Intersection and access design
Pavement Design
We design the pavement section on the tested subgrade so the road carries its traffic without early failure, whether it is asphalt or concrete. This is pavement engineering built on real subgrade strength, not an assumption. We size both flexible asphalt sections and concrete pavement design for heavier commercial loads.
- Flexible and rigid pavement
- Subgrade-based section design
- Traffic loading analysis
Plans and Permitting
We deliver the construction plans and carry the roadway through the reviewing authority, responding to comments so the project keeps moving. That includes traffic control plans where the project requires them.
- Construction plans and details
- Agency and AHJ submittals
- Review comment responses
Who Relies on Our Roadway Design
From subdivisions to well sites, a road only works if it is engineered for the traffic and the terrain.
Developers and Builders
Subdivision and commercial projects need streets designed to the city standard and coordinated with the plat. We design the roads with the rest of the site on one set of data.
Energy and Industrial
Lease roads and access to well sites and facilities have to carry heavy loads over rough terrain. We design them for the traffic they will actually see in the Permian Basin.
Municipalities and Counties
Public street and county road projects carry defined standards and a review process. We deliver the design, the plans, and the submittal support these projects require. That includes intersection design where public streets and county roads meet or cross.
General Contractors
Contractors need a roadway plan that balances the earthwork and can be built as drawn. We design the alignment and grading so the road work is efficient in the field.
Roads Designed on Real Ground and Soils
A road is only as good as the ground under it. Magrym is the Midland firm that surveys the corridor, tests the subgrade, and engineers the road, so the pavement and alignment fit the real conditions and one firm stays accountable start to finish. Our transportation engineering services stay under one roof, from the survey to the sealed plan set.

From Corridor to Approved Plans
A clear path, run by the same engineer, built to fit the ground and clear review.
Survey and Scope
We survey the corridor, confirm the standard and the traffic, and pull the soils data, so the design starts from the real ground. You get a fixed-fee proposal up front.
Alignment and Grading
We set the alignment and the profile to fit the terrain and drain the surface, and confirm the earthwork balances before we detail the design.
Pavement and Drainage
We design the pavement section on the tested subgrade and the drainage and crossings that carry the water, then complete the construction plans. Roadway drainage is confirmed here before the plans move to submittal.
Submit and Approve
We seal and submit the plans, respond to the review, and deliver an approved roadway set the contractor can build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Roadway and street design is the civil engineering that turns a route into a buildable road. It sets the horizontal and vertical alignment, the cross section, the drainage, and the pavement so the road fits the ground, carries its traffic, and drains off the surface. It applies to public streets, county and lease roads, and access roads to sites and facilities.
Yes. We design lease roads and access roads to well sites and facilities across the Permian Basin. These roads carry heavy loads over rough terrain, so we design the alignment, the section, and the crossings for the traffic they will actually see, and we coordinate with the survey and the pad design.
A low water crossing carries a road across a draw, wash, or creek at or near the streambed, rather than on a high bridge. It uses a hardened surface and culverts sized for the normal flow, and it is designed to overtop safely in a large storm. In West Texas they are a common, cost-effective way to cross the many dry channels that run only when it rains, and they have to be sized correctly so they do not wash out.
The pavement section is designed from the strength of the subgrade and the traffic the road will carry. A weak subgrade or heavy loads need a thicker section. Because we test the soil in our own lab, the pavement design is built on the real subgrade strength, not an assumption, which is how you avoid a road that fails early under load. That is pavement engineering the way it should be done, on tested soil, not a guess.
Yes. We survey the corridor and test the subgrade with our own crews and lab, so the alignment fits the real terrain and the pavement is designed on the real soil strength. Keeping the survey, the soils, and the design under one roof removes the gaps that show up when a roadway is designed on someone else’s incomplete data.
Yes. Roadway design is part of our civil engineering, which we provide alongside land surveying and construction services. The same firm can survey the corridor, design the road, stake it for construction, and test the base and pavement, which keeps the project coordinated from the alignment to the finished surface.
