Railway Survey

The Railway Line Survey is an extensive study of an entire area that might be used for a road or airfield. Its purpose is to eliminate those routes or sites which are impractical or unfeasible and to identify the more promising routes or sites. Existing maps and aerial photographs may be of great help.

To construct anything haphazardly is not engineering. Prior to survey the available maps of proposed area are studied. This helps in fixing suitable alignment facilitate various surveys work.
