– Preparation of survey reports
RAILWAY SURVEYS
Reasonsforlayinganewrailwayline
 Strategic consideration:
Sometimes it becomes essential to join two points by
a railway line for strategic purposes so that in case of
emergency, the army can be transferred from one
point to the other.
 Linking of trade centres:
Two trade centres may not be linked up by a railway
line. In such cases, a new railway line is proposed
between two such trade centres.
3
RAILWAY SURVEYS
Connecting port with the interior of the
country:
A port is sometimes not connected with
the interior of the country. In such cases,
it becomes essential to have a new
railway line joining the port and the trade
centres of the interior of the country.
4
RAILWAY SURVEYS
Shortening existing route:
A route exists between two points. But if it
is possible to shorten the existing route, a
new railway line is to be laid.
5
RAILWAY SURVEYS
Laying of a branch line:
It becomes necessary sometimes to lay a branch
line to an existing main line to develop certain
other cities on the proposed branch line. The new
branch line will serve as feeder line for the existing
main railway line.
Undeveloped area:
A new railway line is laid to develop an area
which may be rich in mineral resources or other
natural wealth like timber resources. 6
RAILWAY SURVEYS
Gauge Conversion:
Under Uniform gauge policy
Doubling:
if Saturation of traffic on existing track.
Yard Remodellings
Passenger Terminals
7
Factors influencing the proposed
route:
Cost:
Should be minimum
Is composed of:
{capital cost of the project + maintenance cost
+ renewal expenditure + working expenses}
The route should be so selected as to bring the
sum of all these costs to a minimum.
8
Factors influencing the proposed
route:
II. Safety:
 The available passenger and goods traffic
should be transported safely,
 Route should be so laid as to have
minimum chances of train accidents
III. Speed:
 Route should be so selected as to have
reasonable speed of trains.

R E C T
(RECONNAISSANCE ENGINEERING CUM
TRAFFIC SURVEYS)
Reconnaissance Survey :
• Rough and rapid investigations of an area with a view
to determine the technical feasibility and approximate
cost of one or more routes.
• With the help of contoured Survey of India maps and
other available material without a more careful
investigation of the field
15
Reconnaissance Survey :
• With the use of only those instruments that will rapidly
give approximate distances and heights such as
prismatic compass, clinometer and similar
instruments.
• Where suitable aerial Photographs are available, field
investigations by instruments can be considerably
avoided/dispensed with
RECT
16

PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING CUM
TRAFFIC SURVEY
Preliminary Survey
• This consists of a detailed instrumental examination of
the rout / or routes selected as a result of
"Reconnaissance" in order to obtain a close estimate
of the probable cost of the projected line, under this
survey.
• However, staking out of the alignment with a theodolite
is not required

• However in few cases Railway Board may direct to
carry out FLS directly. In such cases guidelines given for
RECT/PECT surveys should also be kept in view during
FLS.
• Alignment finally selected during a survey should be fully
staked on the ground with a theodolite and/or Electronic
Distance Measuring Instruments, the report should be
fuller and detailed plans and sections should be submitted.
65
• Follow -Terms of Reference strictly.
• Select - Most economical alignment proposed in RECT/
PECT survey reports.
• Provide - Alignment on ground with good Theodolite or
Electronic Total station.

Indian Railways Surveying (RECT, PECT and FLS)

  • 1. 1 Types of Surveys for Railway Projects RECT, PECT,FLS (Source: Engg. Code)
  • 2. 2 We will discuss – Types of Surveys – TOR; Guidelines cum checklist for survey works – Preparation of survey reports
  • 3. RAILWAY SURVEYS Reasonsforlayinganewrailwayline  Strategic consideration: Sometimes it becomes essential to join two points by a railway line for strategic purposes so that in case of emergency, the army can be transferred from one point to the other.  Linking of trade centres: Two trade centres may not be linked up by a railway line. In such cases, a new railway line is proposed between two such trade centres. 3
  • 4. RAILWAY SURVEYS Connecting port with the interior of the country: A port is sometimes not connected with the interior of the country. In such cases, it becomes essential to have a new railway line joining the port and the trade centres of the interior of the country. 4
  • 5. RAILWAY SURVEYS Shortening existing route: A route exists between two points. But if it is possible to shorten the existing route, a new railway line is to be laid. 5
  • 6. RAILWAY SURVEYS Laying of a branch line: It becomes necessary sometimes to lay a branch line to an existing main line to develop certain other cities on the proposed branch line. The new branch line will serve as feeder line for the existing main railway line. Undeveloped area: A new railway line is laid to develop an area which may be rich in mineral resources or other natural wealth like timber resources. 6
  • 7. RAILWAY SURVEYS Gauge Conversion: Under Uniform gauge policy Doubling: if Saturation of traffic on existing track. Yard Remodellings Passenger Terminals 7
  • 8. Factors influencing the proposed route: Cost: Should be minimum Is composed of: {capital cost of the project + maintenance cost + renewal expenditure + working expenses} The route should be so selected as to bring the sum of all these costs to a minimum. 8
  • 9. Factors influencing the proposed route: II. Safety:  The available passenger and goods traffic should be transported safely,  Route should be so laid as to have minimum chances of train accidents III. Speed:  Route should be so selected as to have reasonable speed of trains. 9
