Exam question
Are we confident that we know where all our earthworks are and the associated geometry information is correct?

Principles of methodology – individual cross section

Principles of methodology – extract the slope info
Now repeat this process every 20m along the rail network(That’ll be 800,000 cross sections)

Applying the methodology – Never Inspected
In September 2015 we had 36,000 sites that were never inspected.
By April 2016 we had less than 6,000
80% of the 30,000 records were removed without the need to set foot on track.
This involved analysing 150,000 cross sections and over 15m spot heights
Manual inspections of these sites would have cost in the region of £1.2m

Final Outputs
The never inspected analysis examined 150,000 cross sections and 15m spot heights.
We are currently rolling the methodology out nationally to verify presence of all earthworks regardless of inspection status. This involves: •Interrogating 47,000 raster tiles•More than 800,000 cross sections•Over 81 million spot heights
Once finished we will have a complete picture of all NRs earthworks assets, including detailed geometry, measured from a consistent perspective for the first time ever.

Conclusions
No one GIS system meets all requirements of such complex analysis•Collaborative use ArcGIS, ArcPro, ArcPy & FME
Always develop a robust but flexible methodology
Complex analysis requires comprehensive data management
