Rail Engineering
Surveying and engineering in rail environments: survey control, setting out, monitoring and rail-compliant CAD deliverables.
What is Rail Engineering?
Rail Engineering combines specialist surveying, setting out and monitoring within operational rail environments. Works must meet stringent safety, possession and quality requirements while maintaining high accuracy.
Why it matters
Rail projects carry elevated safety risk and tight tolerances. Well-planned surveying reduces possession time, safeguards workers and passengers, and delivers traceable outputs for designers and asset owners.
How we deliver
We plan possession logistics, establish rail-safe survey control, deliver setting out, as-builts and monitoring, and produce rail-compliant CAD with full QA.
Rail applications
Mainline and metro, stations, platforms, bridges and related civils and structures.
What we deliver
- Rail-safe survey control and methods
- Track/structure setting out and dimensional QA
- Monitoring of track and structures (manual/automated)
- Standards-compliant drawings and documentation
