METHODOLOGY FOR SURVEY WORKS

MANPOWER REQUIREMENT;

 Senior Engineer

 Asst.Surveyor

 Survey Helpers

EQUIPMENT / MACHINERY REQUIREMENT:

 Total Station

 Auto Level

ALIGNMENT FIXING:

 The control points of GPS (Global Positioning System) pillars fixing

at every 5 km interval by NHAI (National Highway Authority of
India) will be used for execution of survey works. The same GPS
pillars are also having the value of coordinate and levels.

 Keeping the same GPS pillar as a reference, traversing of coordinate

has been fixed between GPS pillar to GPS pillar (i.e. every 5 km
interval). Closing error of traverse shall be adjusted by bow-ditch
method in between two GPS pillars.
  Horizontal angle shall be observed by taking minimum of two sets
of rounds from different locations. All the observations are logged
and the spared between observed rounds of horizontal angle did not
exceed 5 seconds (Two sets of angles agreed within 5 seconds).

 In between GPS pillars at every 250meter interval, along the road

alignment, the sub control pillar (Bench Mark Pillar (BMP) is fixed at
the end of ROW (Right of Way). The location of benchmark pillar is
marked at site by paint identifying location. Benchmark pillars. Size
of concrete pillars is 150mm X 150mm X 450mm. During the time
of traversing the bearing was recorded on the punch point of rod.
Projected over the benchmark pillar. The coordinate value of each
benchmark pillar shall be arrived after traverse adjustment by bow-
ditch method.

 The project alignment coordinate given by client – NHAI for a length

of work km: 336+000 to 376+000 km is fixed over the existing
road by 1- second accuracy of total station. The alignment point is
marked at every 20mtrs interval on the straight portion and 10mtrs
interval on the curve portion by round head nail. The same point is
marked with yellow point and location (Chainage) written on the
road for quick reference. For fixing this alignment, for 40 km length,
the traversed coordinate of bench mark pillar, fixed at every 250mtr
interval along the project alignment, are used and client has
checked the alignment. Detailed copy of coordinate value of
benchmark pillar (BMP) along with chainage and location is given to
clients and site engineers for their reference.

BENCH MARK FIXING:

 For every 250mtrs interval the concrete bench mark Pillar is fixed
along the project alignment (from KM.336.000 to 376.000) at the
end of R.O.W. Location and chainage is marked at site with paint.
The Pillar is used for fixing the Bench Mark.

 G.P.S Pillar (every 5km.interval) the level traversing has been done
retaining the R.L (Reduced Level) of G.P.S.Pillar (G.P.S Level given
by N.H.A.I).During the time of traversing the level, the levels are
transferred over every 250m.interval bench Mark control pillars
 also. During Bench Mark level transferring maximum observing
distance was 100m.keeping the foresight and back sight distance
equal. The spread between observed ranges of vertical angles did
not exceed 10 seconds. The closing error on a level circuit did not
exceed 12√K in mm. (where K is distance in km.).The closing error
has been distributed to all the Bench mark in earth work in between
G.P.S to G.P.S.The Bench Mark Pillar (B.M.P) level is checked by
client.

 Detailed Bench Mark is mentioning level, location and chainage duly

signed by client or consultant. Will be issued to the site engineers
for their reference.

TOE LINE FIXING:

 The toe line will fixed for the every layer by means of calculating
the thickness of pavement layer multiplied by percentage of given
formation slope. The toe distance will be measured from given
alignment nail. The cross section drawings also can be followed for
toe line marking.

Verge portion by supervision staff and as per designed distances given by Engineer.

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS:

Required manpower and display boards will be placed to regulated the flow of traffic with
out causing and congestion or stagnation.

MATERIALS:

The soil will be agricultural soil of loamy texture free from kankar, moorum, shingle, stone
brick bats, building rubbish and any other foreign matter. The earth shall be free from clods
of lumps of sizes bigger than 75 mm in any direction.

DUMP MANURE:

Dump manure will be of well-decayed organic or vegetable matter obtained in the dry state
from the sources approved by the Engineer, The manure will be free from earth, stone, brick
bats or other extraneous stuff.

SAPLING OF SHRUBS:

 The gradation of he material will be checked and ensured as per requirement.

 Transporting will be done with trucks to site which shall be laid by
graders Sprinkled with water and compacted by Vibratory & Static
rollers.

 Water shall be added to the spread material after checking NMC to obtain OMC
from a truck mounted water tanker having sprinkler system and suitable for
applying water uniformly at controlled quantities to variable widths. Due
allowance shall be made for evaporation losses.

 After addition of water, material shall be processed and mixed with the help of
