Important results from the project

Yes. The project has developed a new methodology for field investigations for new railways. All steps in the process have been carried out and the results can be used as a basis for decision-making under real-world conditions.

Expected long term effects

A new process for field surveys for new railways that has great potential to shorten the total construction time.

Approach and implementation

The project was implemented through the following work packages (AP): AP1. Integration of data in geodatabases with visualization tools; AP2. Engineering geological and geotechnical analysis and forecast; AP3. Archaeological terrain analysis; AP4. Drone-borne surveys; AP5. Ground-based surveys; AP6. Analysis, evaluation and reporting. Project coordination has taken place via monthly project meetings, partly held on site and partly via video. Reference group meetings 1-2 times/year.
