Improving
The Management
Of The World’s Roads
Hello and welcome to MTconsulting, focussing on providing a range of comprehensive road management consultancy services dedicated to delivering our road infrastructure services in an affordable, sustainable and practical way.
This website provides an introduction to the wide range of services available from MTconsulting. This includes specialised consultancy services in the key areas of the roads sub-sector, as well as training and mentoring support.
Coming soon we will be launching our simple, low cost and fast RoadMark road data collection system. This is a FREE road data collection Android app, designed for road managers and consultants who struggle to collect inventory and basic condition data about their key road assets on a regular and consistent basis. Just click on the links on this website and join the Pre-Launch list to see how easy, quick and simple collecting road data can be.
We also provide a discussion forum, in which you are encouraged to add your observations and comments to an ever-growing number of brief, thought-provoking articles about our industry. Over time, we hope that this will prove to be a useful source of information and feedback on the roads sub-sector around the world.
MTconsulting Is Trusted By Governments & International Development Partners Globally
Innovation and expertise, built over 35 years, are at the heart of what we do. We’re here to help solve your road management problems. These are just some of the organisations and governments we have worked with.
Why Road Management Matters?
We take road assets for granted. But they are the essential lubricant in every modern economic engine, so when they fail, everyone notices their importance.
Without good roads, economic activity seizes up, adversely affecting businesses, delivery of public services and leisure activities. Good road network assets represent an enormous public investment by a country’s government. However, the transport costs from inadequate infrastructure investment and poor governance in the transport sector are many times greater still.
Our Story
Mark Thriscutt has over 35 years of experience, working internationally as an independent road management consultant, providing technical assistance (TA), consulting advice, training and workshop facilitation, public speaking and capacity development in the transport sector and particularly, in the roads sub-sector.
Mark brings a wealth of international experience in the most important areas of road asset management, to help national and local governments agencies to protect their huge investments in road infrastructure, ensuring their communities achieve the biggest benefits from these assets.
Our Approach
Over a period of over 35 years, MTConsulting has worked in over 35 countries around the globe (35+35+!), covering almost every region. This has led to a truly global perspective and appreciation of the importance of different cultures and values in issues of good governance and how roads can be managed. Some of these key issues are discussed in a series of short podcasts written and presented by our Founder, Mark Thriscutt.

Not just the carriageway, but drainage, shoulders, culverts, bridges, street furniture and administrative data can also be captured.
Simple to Use
Does not require specialised knowledge, significantly reducing training needs and any requirement for specialists in the field. It doesn’t even need any network referencing system to be in place first.
Fast and Low Cost
No expensive, specialised equipment is needed (nor even any local phone signal). The Android App is completely free. Typical survey rates are around 20kph.
Can Reflect Flexible Needs
All data can be exported to other applications. The data is geo-referenced, allowing a wide range of maps to be developed and system reports help with remote monitoring and management of surveys.

Store, Report and Analyse Your Data
The data you capture requires the Windows 10 RoadMark Analysis software to analyse, store in a database and export for other applications to use. (Alternatively, we can provide this service for you – please contact us to discuss your needs.) The data remains permanently with you.
