Study Notes

Engineering Scale Plan (ESP) Checklist

  • Yard Layout: Complete yard layout for all works, including minor ones, must be shown. Avoid alterations in partial plans.

  • Scale: Plan must be in 1:1000 scale.

  • North Point: North point indicated at the top of the sheet.

  • Kilometerage/Chainage: Kilometerage and chainage (0.00 m) of the station building must be clearly marked.

  • Train Movement: Direction of train movement (UP & DN) clearly shown at the top center and ends of the yard.

  • Adjacent Block/Junction Stations: Names and distances of adjacent block and junction stations noted. Kilometerage should increment from left to right, including mid-section sidings.

  • Gradients: All yard gradients must be shown sequentially. Gradients and chainages up to 2.5 km from the first stop signal at both ends.

  • New Station Yard Gradients: Gradients within 50m of new station yard's outermost point must be 1 in 1200. Up to 1 in 400 is permitted without exception. 1 in 400 maximum permitted.

  • CRS/Rly.Board Dispensation/Condonation: For gradients steeper than 1 in 400 (up to 1 in 260), CRS dispensation, and for steeper than 1 in 260, Rly. Board condonation, is required. Obtain/indicate dispensation/condonation clearly in the ESP.

  • Grade Changes: No grade changes within 30 meters of any points or crossings.

  • Alterations (Marked): Areas of proposed alterations marked in red; areas with no alterations are identical to existing signal plan.

  • Line Designation: All lines must be designated for identification (Line No. 1 from station building side).

  • Clear Standing Room (CSL): Clear standing room (CSL) for all lines (running/siding) must be noted, minimum 720m for new lines, 686m for existing lines.

  • Platforms: Platforms must be provided on lines for passenger trains, specifying platform level (RL, LL, HL, etc.).

  • Level Crossings: Classification, kilometerage/chainage from station center, manned/unmanned status, and numbers of all level crossings. Level crossing gate classifications to match current TVU (e.g. Spl >50000, A>=30000, etc.).
