Railway Line Survey and Design
1. Preliminary Survey
-
Reconnaissance Survey
-
Collects general information about terrain, existing routes, and possible alignments.
-
Uses topographic maps, satellite images, drone survey, and site visits.
-
-
Traffic & Feasibility Study
-
Determines expected traffic (passenger/freight).
-
Prepares cost–benefit and feasibility reports.
-
2. Field Surveys
-
Topographical Survey
-
Establishes existing ground levels, natural features, and man-made structures.
-
Uses Total Station, DGPS, Drone LiDAR, UAV photogrammetry.
-
-
Geotechnical Investigation
-
Boreholes, soil tests, rock strength, and groundwater level analysis.
-
Provides data for embankment, cutting, and foundation design.
-
-
Hydrological Survey
-
Identifies rivers, drainage, flood levels, and water crossings.
-
-
Control Survey
-
Establishes primary and secondary control points with DGPS.
-
3. Alignment Design
-
Selection of Alignment
-
Must ensure minimum curvature, safe gradients, economic earthwork, and operational efficiency.
-
-
Horizontal Alignment
-
Curves, tangents, transition curves designed as per IRC/Indian Railway codes.
-
-
Vertical Alignment
-
Gradients, ruling gradient, summit/valley curves designed.
-
-
Cross Section Design
-
Formation width, side slope, drainage provisions.
-
4. Design of Railway Formation
-
Embankment & Cutting
-
Based on soil/rock strata, stability analysis.
-
-
Track Bed Preparation
-
Subgrade design, blanket layer, drainage.
-
-
Structures
-
Bridges, culverts, tunnels, retaining walls, and station yards.
-
5. Track Design
-
Permanent Way Design
-
Rail section (52 kg, 60 kg), sleepers (PSC, steel), and fastenings.
-
-
Ballast & Sub-ballast
-
Thickness, quality, gradation.
-
-
Turnouts, Crossings & Yards
-
Design for operational flexibility.
-
6. Stations & Facilities
-
Location of passenger stations, freight terminals, crossing stations.
-
Platform height, siding design, signaling and telecommunication.
7. Final Deliverables
-
Alignment drawings (plan, L-section, cross-sections).
-
Soil and hydrology reports.
-
Bridge and culvert drawings.
-
Detailed Project Report (DPR) with estimates.
-
3D/Simulation models for approval.
