Preliminary Engineering Survey

• Conduct Engineering Survey of the site to fix the take off points and alignment of the proposed railway line into the plant from the nearest and most suitable track point
  
• Study of different alternatives taking into consideration the topography of the area and availability of land
  
• Taking longitudinal levels to assess the grades over the proposed alignment and to work out the approximate quantities of the earthwork required
  
• Site survey to take into account provision of bridges, culverts and crossings on the lead line alignment from take off point to plant boundary
  
• Indicate the extent of land required for providing the railway siding
  
• Preparation of General Arrangement Conceptual Drawing in accordance with Indian Railways Code of practice
  
• Discussion with Railways about the feasibility of the proposal
  
• Submission of Feasibility Report and Obtaining in-principle approval of the concerned Railways

Detailed Engineering & Final Location Survey

• Fixing of the new alignment by total station instrument survey as detailed in Indian Railway Engineering Code. The field work consists of a detailed examination of the alignment by compass and theodalite traverse
  
• Taking detailed longitudinal and transverse levels along the alignment, wherever modifications to be carried
  
• Detailed engineering, design and drawings of proposed take off point, siding portion and other structures
  
• Preparation of general arrangement drawings in accordance with Indian Railways Code of practice
  
• Fixing alignment and laying of curves on ground
  
• Identify the land corridor required
  
• Assessment of extent of signaling required which will include all additions / alterations to existing arrangement in the Railway yard. Design the signaling scheme, along with OHE arrangement, if any

• Index Map & Index section and plan
  
• Detailed plans, sections & Working drawings e. GAD plans for bridges
  
• Plan for junction arrangements & Detailed drawings of structures if any
  
• Signaling plans, as well as OHE designs / plans, if any
• Preparation of Detailed Project Report including Detailed Estimate
