Spotlight: Rail Surveys

For the second edition in our Spotlight series, it’s all aboard for a whistle stop tour of our work in the rail industry.

Rail work can incorporate many different types of surveys from surveying the rail infrastructure itself to the surrounding environments, including land and rivers.
​
With experience across buildings, land and engineering, we are able to provide comprehensive rail surveys including:

• Bridge surveys
  
• Scour assessment and protection surveys
• 3D sonar scanning
• Track drainage surveys
• Embankment / cutting surveys
• Culvert surveys
• Topographic surveys of land surrounding rail infrastructure
• Station platform and building surveys

Using the latest technology, both in the field and here at GCS HQ, we can provide accurate and detailed data for our clients. Our survey outputs include:

• Detailed 2D and 3D drawings in Autocad dwg/dxf formats
• Point cloud data
• River modelling specific files including, ISIS, Hec-Ras, EEBY, MIKE11, XYZ and EACSD

Being a RISQS (Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme) approved company, we are a trusted supplier within the rail industry and are authorised to work on Network Rail infrastructure.

Here’s what one of our clients had to say...

“Grantham Coates Surveys have been providing our surveys for many years now - always innovating, always helpful, always approachable and always deliver to time and budget.
Not only are they RISQS approved but also most of their staff are PTS trained and have many years’ experience of working in a railway environment.
They have an approach and ethos to their work like no other and because of this they are reliable which, in a railway setting where time constraints are often tight, make them the ideal choice.
We look forward to many more years of working together.”
