Preliminary Engineering-cum-Traffic Survey

In practice, and quite often, both the traffic survey and the preliminary engineering survey are carried out simultaneously in order to expedite the project. In such cases techno-economic survey reports based on preliminary-cum-traffic surveys are compiled. Such techno-economic survey reports contain the following details.

  • Introduction
  • Traffic projections
  • Analysis of alternatives
  • Characteristics of project area
  • Standards of construction (for new lines, multiple tracking schemes, gauge conversions)
  • Route selection and project description
  • Project engineering (for new lines, multiple tracking schemes, and gauge conversions)
  • Cost, phasing, and investment schedules
  • Financial appraisal
  • Recommendations
