Railway Surveys

Railways Link Communities

Railroad surveys are an essential aspect of the building and continuing upkeep of all railways. Surveyors collaborate with train design engineers to map new rail lines and monitor current tracks for changes over time. Surveyors frequently employ UAVs to collect track data in distant and difficult-to-reach places.

Engineering Surveys for Railway Alignment

Four separate surveys must be undertaken in phases from the beginning to the end of a railway project. To get the finest possible alignment, the following survey should be thoroughly completed:

• 
  A traffic survey
• Survey of reconnaissance
• Preliminary survey or first location survey
• Survey for the final site or detailed survey

Before beginning the actual survey work, a study of the available maps of the region should be conducted. This desk study aids in the sketching of numerous acceptable alignments on the official maps to permit simple reconnaissance. Generally, survey charts or aerial maps are utilized for this purpose. 

These maps include contours, topographical characteristics, and physical land usage such as buildings, agriculture, rivers, etc.

Why Is It Important?

Thorough and professional surveying is critical in railway projects. Money spent on survey work is non-recoverable; thus, every effort should be taken to perform surveys accurately. 

The four major forms of surveys are traffic surveys, reconnaissance surveys, and opinion polls. Additionally, there are two types of surveys: preliminary (or initial location) surveys and thorough (or final location) surveys. 

Surveying instruments must be extremely precise. Based on the surveys mentioned above, comprehensive maps are created, and the information gathered is given in the form of sketches and a summary report.
