The Snake Projection is a coordinate system which projects geographical coordinates onto an easting and northing grid that is virtually true scale for the area of applicability. The parameters defining the Snake Projection must be tailored for specific projects; the most typical use is with large-scale linear engineering projects such as rail infrastructure, however the projection is equally applicable to any application requiring a low distortion grid along a linear route (e.g. pipelines and roads). The name of the projection is derived from the sinuous nature of the projects it may be designed for. Typical map projection distance distortion characteristics of a Snake projection are minimal over the whole route within approximately 20 kilometres of the centre line. The principal advantage
