Road , Highway,Tunnels And Railway Survey

Road survey and design includes applying the appropriate level of survey to achieve the required accuracy of field measurements, and preparing a geometric road design (including plans, profiles, cross-sections and mass graphs) based on the survey measurements, data and assessments, to tie the location of the road to the land base. Practices include:

  • carrying out a location survey;
  • incorporating professionalassessments from the road site plan, including any strategies or objectives that are necessary;
  • marking locations of cross drain culverts;
  • locating roads outside of riparian management areas;
  • consideration of sediment transport and deposition;
  • locating roads appropriate distances from licensed waterworks in community watersheds; and
  • providing for suitableclearing widths to address topographic and operational needs; and
  • preparing a road plan that serves as or includes the road site plan under an FSP.
