Expert rail design and support services
Ecliptic Track & Civils Ltd offers comprehensive pre-construction surveys, including pre-condition surveys and reports carried out on or near highways, rivers, or railways, to support safe and efficient project planning in the railway and civil engineering sectors.
With more than 25-years of experience and approvals from Highways England, Network Rail, and TfL, we are a trusted partner for pre-construction assessments across the UK. Our experienced professionals utilise state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to deliver high-quality and reliable survey data and reports. We offer a range of pre-construction surveys tailored to railways, highways, rivers, and canals, get in touch with us today.
Our surveys include:
Track Assets Surveys - our track asset surveys are designed to assess the condition of railway tracks and related infrastructure, ensuring that each asset meets industry safety and performance standards.
Topographical Surveys - topographical surveys provide accurate measurements of land surface features, mapping out natural and man-made elements such as elevations, vegetation, structures, and boundaries.
Aerial Surveying - aerial surveying uses drone technology and high-resolution imaging to capture detailed, large-scale views of land and project sites from above.


We can also help with:
Geotech Surveys - geotechnical surveys involve comprehensive analysis of subsurface soil, rock, and groundwater conditions, ensuring a site’s suitability for construction.
Bathymetric Surveys - bathymetric surveys map the depth and features of bodies of water, including rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. These surveys allow project teams to plan around water-related challenges, ensuring both safety and regulatory compliance for water-adjacent construction.
GPR surveys - ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys use electromagnetic waves to scan below the ground surface, detecting buried objects, structures, and features such as pipes, cables, voids, and old foundations. This non-invasive method is invaluable in pre-construction, allowing for informed planning without disturbing existing subsurface features.
Detailed Examinations - detailed examinations involve thorough, hands-on inspections of specific assets or areas, allowing for a deep understanding of their current condition and any potential issues.
Ground Investigations - ground investigations evaluate soil and subsurface conditions to inform construction design, material choices, and structural methods.
