Foreword

Inspections are an integral part of the various safety measures

undertaken by the Railways to make train-mode transport safe,

comfortable, efficient and punctual. Inspections in general means

visits to various work centres to carefully examine the working of

the system; find out the defects and to see that rules and

instructions are implemented according to their spirit. It is both

educative and corrective in nature.

The Civil Engineering assets comprise important part in Railway

system and its upkeep is very important from safety and comfort point

of view. This handbook containing compendium of instructions

related to inspection of civil engineering assets would be of great

help to all the inspecting officials. An attempt has been made in

formulating certain frame work which will be of help in facilitating

focussed and in-depth inspections of civil engineering asset.

The information presented in this book is in no way intended to

supersede or negate any existing rules, regulations, or instructions

contained in various codes and manual. Further, it is not intended to

conflict with any currently effective operating and maintenance

instructions and/or specifications. It also cannot be taken as

exhaustive. It should, however, always be kept in mind that

inspections are not merely fault finding. It is one of the most

effective tools that can be intelligently used to run the system

smoothly and safely.

It is hoped that all Engg officials will make use of present book

during their inspections in improving quality of inspections and

thereby bringing overall improvement in productivity and

performance enhancement of Civil Engg. assets in particular and Rly

system in general.

boards get faded with time when

ordinary paint is used. Hence as for as

possible luminous paints / luminous

strips should be used. As far as

luminous strip and luminous paint are

concerned, for speed breakers sign

boards, whistle boards and stop boards

etc. the luminous strip are more

effective rather than luminous paint as

it is just a like a pre-cast concrete which
