Rail Surveying

Specialist surveying for heavy rail, light rail and inland rail infrastructure.

VFT Engineering Surveyors delivers accurate, high-precision surveying services for heavy rail, light rail and inland rail projects.

Our experience spans corridor mapping, rail alignment, turnouts and geometry surveys, along with deformation monitoring and as-built documentation.

We have worked across a wide range of rail programs including Sydney Trains DSS, Inland Rail, and Transport for NSW projects such as the Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2, More Trains More Services, TAP 3 and many more. Our team understands the strict access, safety and compliance requirements unique to the rail environment.

Using rail compliant total stations, calibrated track trolley systems and experienced rail staff, we provide the accuracy and efficiency rail projects demand. Our services also include rail tunnel scanning, utility Work-As-Executed (WaEX) capture and 3D LiDAR and Laser Scanning.
