SnakeGrid is a bespoke, low-distortion coordinate system designed specifically for long linear infrastructure projects such as railways, highways, and pipelines. Unlike standard national grid projections, SnakeGrid follows the route of a project, minimising distortion caused by scale factors and elevation change.

The result is a single, seamless coordinate system that maintains a near one-to-one relationship between design and the ground over hundreds of kilometres.

You can learn more about SnakeGrid on our ‘What is SnakeGrid?‘ page and in this in-depth knowledgebase article.

The software has been designed to be used anywhere in the world, on any large engineering project – such as railways, highways, and pipelines. It has been adopted on most significant rail routes in the UK, and most engineering and survey companies working in this sector use it at some stage.
