The Railway Survey or Station Survey is an investigation to gather data on the proposed route of a railway line. It involves collecting information on the terrain, geography, and existing infrastructure along the proposed route. This data is used to determine the feasibility of the project, identify potential challenges, and inform the design and planning of the railway line.
The survey typically includes geological, geotechnical, and environmental assessments to identify potential risks and opportunities. The data collected during the survey is used to create detailed maps, profiles, and models of the proposed route, which are then used to inform the design and construction of the railway line.
