Railway Survey

Railway Survey

A Railway is a mode of land transport that runs on steel tracks, designed for the movement of trains carrying passengers or goods. Railways require careful route planning, alignment design, elevation control, and structural works like bridges, tunnels, and culverts.

Key Features of Railway Infrastructure:

  • Track alignment and leveling
  • Stations, platforms, and sidings
  • Signaling and safety systems
  • Bridges, culverts, and embankments
  • Rail bed and ballast preparation

Survey & Design Tasks in Railway Projects:

  • Route survey and topographic mapping
  • Centerline marking and alignment curve design
  • Earthwork calculation (cut & fill)
  • Cross-section and longitudinal profile generation
  • Geo-referencing and right-of-way planning
