Full title and description

SP RK 3.03-114-2014 — "Railways" (СП РК 3.03-114-2014 «Железные дороги») is a Republic of Kazakhstan Svod Pravil (construction/design code) that establishes technical requirements and design rules for railway lines and associated infrastructure within Kazakhstan.

Abstract

This Svod Pravil defines planning and design principles, technical criteria and basic requirements for the design, reconstruction and maintenance of railway lines and their principal structures in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It covers geometric design, track structure, earthworks and drainage, intersections and crossings, station layout basics and rules for safe operation interfaces with other infrastructure. The document was prepared for use by designers, engineers and authorities involved in railway infrastructure projects in Kazakhstan.

Scope

SP RK 3.03-114-2014 applies to the planning, design, reconstruction and basic maintenance provisions for mainline railway track and associated linear infrastructure in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Its scope includes track geometry and clearances, track superstructure principles, earthworks and drainage requirements, design considerations for level crossings and grade separations, basic station layout requirements (referencing more detailed station standards), and safety interfaces with signalling, electrification and roads where relevant. The document sets mandatory and recommended technical criteria to be applied by designers, contractors and regulatory bodies in Kazakhstan.

Key topics and requirements

• Design principles for railway alignment and track geometry (curvature, gradients, transitions).
• Track structure and superstructure selection criteria (rail, sleepers, fastenings, ballast and formation).
• Earthworks, embankments and cuttings, including slope protection and settlement considerations.
• Drainage, subsoil and frost protection measures for track stability.
• Design requirements for level crossings, intersections with roads and safety clearances.
• Basic station and platform layout principles (capacities, access, interfaces with operations).
• Requirements for interfaces with electrification, signalling and communications (to the extent necessary for civil/structural design).
• Operational safety, maintenance accessibility and provisions for reconstruction/modernization.

Typical use and users

Primary users are railway infrastructure designers and engineering consultancies, project developers, construction contractors, infrastructure owners/operators, national and regional authorities responsible for transport and construction approvals, and academic or training organizations engaged in railway engineering in Kazakhstan and nearby jurisdictions that reference Kazakh standards.
