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.

luminous strip and luminous paint are
concerned, for speed breakers sign
boards, whistle boards and stop boards

effective rather than luminous paint as
it is just a like a pre-cast concrete which
