Land surveying involves the measurement and mapping of land areas associated with civil engineering and railway projects. It includes determining the boundaries of properties, assessing the topography of the land, and identifying any natural or man-made features that may impact construction or maintenance. Land surveying helps in acquiring accurate data for land acquisition, alignment design, and overall project planning.

Track surveying
Track surveying focuses on the measurement and analysis of railway tracks. It includes determining the position, alignment, and profile of the tracks to ensure they meet the required standards. Track surveying helps in assessing the track condition, identifying any irregularities or defects, and planning for maintenance and rehabilitation activities. It also involves measuring and analyzing other track parameters such as gauge, super-elevation, curvature, and vertical alignment.
