a. Reconnaissance Survey
Reconnaissance survey the entire road net work in the newly added area shall
be conducted to identify the general condition of traffic, roads, road side
establishment, drains, culverts and bridges for further surveys/investigations.
Making use of the observations/data collected during reconnaissance survey
detailed schedule for surveys/investigations required for the project has been
finalised.
All the above information shall be compiled and presented (road wise) in the
standard form of tables for easy understanding.
Visual condition survey of the road sections shall be carried out by travelling along
the project road and noting down the pavement condition such as extent of
cracking, patching, rutting, pot holes, edge breaking etc., by visual observations
in a well structured data format. The data so collected has to be compiled and
presented (kilometre wise) in the form of tables for easy understanding.
Benkelman Beam Deflection survey of the road sections shall be been carried
out in accordance with the procedure given in IRC: 81-1997 “Tentative
Guidelines for Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements Using Benkelman
Beam Deflection Technique”. Test points along the wheel paths are at 50 m
staggered interval. During the survey, pavement temperature has been
measured for correcting the deflection values to the standard temperature.
Seasonal factor has been determined from the type and moisture content of sub
grade soil.
The deflection data has been analysed for each homogeneous section and the
analysed data has been presented in tabular forms. The data so analysed form a
useful input to estimate the extent of overlay required for strengthening. The
structural evaluation especially with regard to the adequacy/inadequacy of the
road sections improved earlier in various schemes has also been assessed so as
not duplicate the same in the improvement proposals.
Test pit investigation survey of the road sections has been carried out so as to have at
least one test pit for each road section. Additional test pit investigation surveys have
been assessed based on heterogeneity of road section and investigations have
been done as required. Testing has been done so as to match the location of one
of the BBD test in that road section.
For each section, test pit of size 1.0 m x 1.0 m has been dug at pavement-
shoulder interface up to sub grade level. In-situ tests to determine field density
such as core cutter test or sand replacement test depending upon the soil type
has also been done. Soil samples have been collected and tested in laboratory
for:
Existing subgrade for designing widening of existing road (if proposed) and for
checking strengthening requirements of existing pavement by the CBR method;
and
Prospective borrow material for use as subgrade in case of new alignment,
reconstruction and widening.
The test data has been analysed and presented in tabular form.
The project will require different type of construction materials, which include
mainly:
Further the prevailing market rates of construction materials have been collected
through enquires at market places. Their quality, source and associated leads
(as per the approved lead distances) have also been gathered.
The findings of material survey have been presented as a part of the report,
which will include tabulated laboratory test results on the sub grade soils at the
various locations. Based on these investigations, the haulage distances for the
various materials have been determined and used in the analysis of rates for the
work items.
The programme for traffic studies and the location of traffic surveys has been
finalised after reviewing in detail the available traffic data. Particular attention has
been paid to identify gaps and further data requirements of the study. The traffic
surveys have been designed for filling up data gaps as well as updating the
information. The locations of the survey stations has been reviewed considering
the suitability of various types of traffic surveys and finalised in consultation with
Client. Traffic surveys have been carried out at selected locations for updating
the traffic information. Following surveys have been conducted:
These surveys have been carried out in accordance with IRC: SP-19-2001 and
IRC: SP-41-1994.
For ascertaining the present traffic flows on various road stretches, classified
traffic volume counts has been undertaken to ascertain the type and number of
vehicles operating.
For ascertaining the present pedestrian flows near the junctions, pedestrian
volume counts has been undertaken to cover all the pedestrian movements
across the road near the major junctions and at locations of high pedestrian
intensity. The peak hourly directional pedestrian movement data would be used
to plan the pedestrian facilities such as, subway, zebra crossings, footpaths etc.
2.6.4 Speed and Delay Survey
Speed and delay survey has been conducted along the road section to assess
the prevailing cruise speeds, journey speeds and delays. Moving car method is
adopted for the study. Three runs has been made during both morning and
evening peak hours. Data on junction delays, mid block delays has been used to
assess the time loss and fuel loss, which form an input to economic analysis.
A detailed inventory and condition survey of all bridges and cross drainage
structures along the road stretches has been carried out by the consultants team
comprising of Bridge Engineers who stopped at each structure location to record
inventory and visual survey to assess the structural condition, including any
damage by making use of well structured inventory data format. Various data
collected during the inventory include:
Type of structure
Dimensions
Total length
Carriageway width & overall width
Vent size
Height of deck from river or stream bed
Type of superstructure
Type of substructure
Type of railing
Type of bearings

All the above information has been presented in the form of tables (structure
wise) for easy understanding.
It was ensured by BMP that on the selected roads there were no adverse social
and environmental impacts resulting from the proposed improvement. It is
ensured that the project implementation does not have any adverse
environmental impact since it does not involve any acquisition of land/demolition
of buildings, removal of encroachment or hawkers. The improvement proposals
developed are based on this guiding principle. Landscaping has been proposed
at suitable locations as an environmental enhancement measure.
All the relevant secondary data from the concerned departments (as
available) has been collected. Data on economic indicators affecting traffic
growth has also been collected. Data collected include reports, maps,
traffic data etc., as available. Axle load data from the past studies have
been collected and compiled for use in pavement design. Past data of
annual sales of petroleum and diesel in Karnataka state has been
collected from IOC, Bangalore. Past accident data comprising of type,
severity, pedestrian involvement etc., have been collected for each of the
road sections from the concerned police stations. The secondary data so
collected, has been presented at appropriate places in this report.
Details of ongoing developmental works along the project roads in the city
such as road improvements, junction improvements, grade separation
schemes, footpath improvement schemes, etc., along the project roads
has been documented so as to integrate the same with the improvement
proposals suggested and also to avoid duplication which will have a direct
bearing on project cost.
