laning with paved shoulder configuration. The project stretch of Koyyuru – Chintapalii –
Lambasingi – Paderu road Section is consolidation of existing SH-38, Panchayat Roads and
other roads passing through mainly Koyyuru, Krishnadevipeta, Chintapalii, Lothugadda and
Paderu town forms an important artery for movement of main goods/defense goods from
Rajamundry, Vijaywada and Chennai to Odissa and West Bengal. Major types of Goods
transported through this road are Coffee, Agricultural Product along with seasonal crops.
The project alignment is spanning through Visakhapatnam district with a total length of
approximately 140 Kms. The main objective of the project road is to connect the tribal
villages falling under the project stretch. The majority of project road passes through tribal
areas.

Presently the existing Highway is as per SH and MDR specification & the proposal is to
upgrade the existing Highway to NH specification. In addition to number of structures exist
which require up gradation/Reconstruction/widened to 2-lane/Four laning with paved
shoulder configuration.. Presently the existing road is important connectivity from
Narsipatnam to Krishnadevipeta & Koyyuru town. Also, the lambasingi town is the one of
the famous tourist place which connects through the Lothugedda junction on the project
road.

Also the some sections of project road is observed with improper earthen shoulders and
Road top level observed less below equal to existing ground level. The existing road length
in such sections is requiring to be raised and reconstruct.

1.5 Time Frame

The schedule for completion of the assignment is 6 months.

1.6 Agreement

The letter of Acceptance (LOA) dated 30-06-2016 and the agreement for the services was
signed on 03-08-2016, which is deemed as the effective date for the contract agreement.

1.7 Effective Date of Commencement of Services

We have commenced our services and team are mobilized to site

• Contact Persons Mr. J. E. Selvam, Team Leader

All field work, analysis of primary and secondary data will be carried out from the Site office,
whereas the designs will be carried out at the Project office. Close liaison will be maintained
with the Roads & Building Department, NH Wing, GoAP

1.8 Quality Assurance Plan

The Quality Assurance Plan has been submitted to ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH
WING, GOAP in separate volume for their comments.

1.9 Work Plan and Deliverables

We have mobilized experienced personnel for project appreciation and to carry out
necessary surveys and investigations at site from 04-08-2016 onwards. The team
composition deployed for this project with their name and role is included in Chapter 5 of
this report.

We have prepared the Work Program in line with the scope and service mentioned in the
scope of work and this is provided in Chapter 5 of this report. The work program shows the
activities, deliverables and their duration.

1.10 Possible Constraints

As far as possible, the widening work shall be planned within the existing Right of Way
(ROW). The existing geometry of the roadway shall be maintained to avoid any new land
acquisitions and to retain existing bridges. This would also have minimal environmental

disturbances. We foresee that there are number of constraints that would influence the
design of the project road. Those constraints are:

• Preferring to be within the ROW in case of sharp curves and other improvements.
• To retain sound/good existing Bridge/structures.
• To obviate passing through Forest, etc.
• To initiate a separate study for river training work, river course change & management
and geological, geophysical characteristics of the region.
• Any foreseen hindrance expected for carrying out the design or deviation from Standard
designs for easy implementation.
Therefore, a design philosophy is to be prepared listing out the constraints where IRC
guidelines may be compromised. Design philosophy would be the guiding line to achieve the
objective of this project which is complying with IRC norms within the threshold of
developed criteria wherever possible.

However, even after ascertaining the various pros and cons of each individual
problems/deviation from standards, the final decision from the client would help us to
finalize the design philosophy. We would look forward for such a discussion with the client
ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP at an early date.

Chapter 2. Project Appreciation

2.1 Site visit

The site was visited by our team during 04-08-2016 to 10-08-2016 to collect relevant

2.7 Built-up Area:

The total built-up of 22.78 Km has been identified including major town of Koyyuru
Krishnadevipeta, Chintapalii, G.Modugula, Lothugudda and Paderu rest are presently
midsize villages but are likely to grow in size subsequent to up gradation of the highway. It is
anticipated that both passenger and goods traffic is likely to increase substantially and the
existing alignment is likely to create substantial bottlenecks in negotiating the built-up areas
of Koyyuru, Krishnadevipeta, Chintapalii, and G.Modugula town. The proposed bypass
alignments will be finalized if required are based on topographic surveys and design
considerations.

A detailed list of built up areas and villages along the project alignment is given in the Table

2.8 Carriageway Width

There is subsequent variation in the width of the carriageway along the project corridor. The
project highway is available in width of 3.75m, 5.5m & 7.0m. The pattern of existing
carriageway for Single lane, Intermediate lane & two lanes is shown in the Fig. 2.7 in the
form of cross-sections. The detail of existing width of carriageway along the project length is
shown in Table 2.4. It is noticed that moreover of the project length consists of 7.0m, 5.5m
& 3.75m pavement width.

2.9 Embankment Height

The embankment height of the carriageway ranges between 1.0m to 3.0m along the
complete length of the project highway. It has been seen that the project road passes
through the ghat sections. The project is generally in few locations high embankments and
certain approaches to minor bridges. In the built up stretches along the project corridor
existing ground level is higher than natural ground level.

2.10 Horizontal Alignment

The highway basically follows the alignment of MDR upgraded from ODR over the years. On
many locations the alignment is in S-curves and sharp bends which would need
improvement as per the geometric requirement of NH Two lane/Four lane specifications.
The details of sharp curves which require improvement is shown below in the Table 2.5.

In accordance with provisions of clause 2.1 of IRC SP: 73-2015 the existing alignment would
be examined and horizontal curves which are found in deficient in radius, layout, transition
lengths or super elevation shall be corrected to meet the minimum requirement of the
codal provision. As can be seen from the above table, the curves shall be required to
modify/improvements. In certain cases realignment may also be required.

2.11 Vertical Alignment

The vertical geometry is an issue of significance. Especially in the poor vertical grade
sections substantial improvement in the vertical profile will be required. This issue will be
clear once the details of topographical survey are available. It may be pointed out that the
vertical profile appears to confirm to the Safe Stopping Sight Distance and not the
Intermediate sight distances.

2.12 Junctions

Few roads intersect the project highway. All intersections are major/minor intersection with
State Highways, Major District roads and Village roads crossing the project alignment. The
details are shown below in Table 2.6

2.13 Pavement Condition

The carriageway width of the roads has three specifications of 7 meters, 5.5 meters and
3.75 meters with of earthen shoulders on either side. Visual inspection of the road showed a
generally fair/poor surface condition. Works related to resurfacing have been carried out
recently on certain places. Approximate 20% of the highway has damaged riding surface.
The details on above are given below in Table 2.7. Existing Pavement Condition of the
Project alignment & Figure 2.8 show the Existing Pavement Condition photos of the Project
alignment

2.14 Status of Right of way (ROW)

Major portion of the highway is aligned through the Agricultural Land. Preliminary look of
the alignment has shown existence of ROW pillars seen on few places of the project road. As
could be ascertained from local ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING,
GOAPauthorities, it appears that approx. 7 to 24 mtrs ROW is available. Thus the existing
right of way (ROW) extends to total width of 30 mtrs. Resultantly, there will be substantial
requirement of LA all along the project corridor to meet the design criteria and
development of the highway as per norms laid down vide IRC: SP: 73 and IRC: 73 for urban
and non-urban areas. On either side of the earthen shoulders there is a presence of trees
within the ROW. OFC are also noticed within the ROW limits.

2.15 Soil and Subsoil & Drainage

The soil characteristics seem to be uniform along the project alignment, Red soil/ Murrum
dominates the road. Generally drainage condition in poor condition and some places
earthen drain are provided.

2.16 Utilities along the Project Highway

OFC cable is noticed running on the outer edge of the ROW. HT line crossings have noticed
at 15 places. It is proposed to examine provision of additional utilities e.g. bus bays,
passenger facilities, truck Parking areas, toll plazas and other passenger amenities wherever
required.

2.17 Socio Religious Structure and Buildings

The roadway is flanked on the sides by important social activity centers such as schools,
colleges, and places of worship etc. While widening, the alignment may have to be shifted
to avoid impacting these structures.

2.18 Bridges and Cross Drainage Structures

The details of existing cross drainage structures like culverts and bridges were carried out.
The project road has 90 no’s Hume Pipe Culverts, 26 no’s Slab Culvers, 4 no’s Box Culverts,
23 no’s Minor bridges and 2 no’s Major bridges which are summarized as below in Table 2.8,

Chapter 3. Approach & Methodology

3.1 General

Our approach to the project will be in accordance with the “Description of Services” given in
the Contract Document, understanding of the project objectives and further discussions
with the Client during the progress of the project study.

3.2 Objective of the Study

Based on the objectives and scope of the consultancy services, an appropriate methodology
has been developed to address the requirements, especially with regard to various
intermediate targets and completion period, manning schedule and interaction with client
as indicated in the terms of reference (TOR). A work plan has been prepared on the basis of
the methodology developed. A competent team of suitably qualified key professionals and
other supporting staff as per the requirements of TOR is selected for carrying out the
services.

The scope of services includes both independent and inter-dependent activities. Hence we
propose a Task approach to carry out the entire work comprehensively and accurately to
the complete satisfaction of the client & fulfillment of ToR. The whole work will be divided
into different tasks and the detailed methodology for each task is given in the figure on next
page.

3.3 Approach and Methodology

The main objective of the consultancy service is to establish the technical, economical, and
financial viability of the project and prepare detailed project reports for rehabilitation and
upgrading of the existing road to 2/4 lane configuration The assignment includes highway
design, pavement design for flexible/ rigid pavements, design of bridges and cross drainage
structures and grade separated structures, design of service roads, quantities of various
items, detailed working drawings, detailed cost estimates, economic and financial viability
analysis, environmental and social feasibility, social and environmental action plans as

appropriate and documents required for tendering the project on commercial basis for
international / local competitive bidding.

The Methodology for Services, Surveying and Data Collection will be carried out to cover all
the scope of work as detailed in the TOR. A schematic diagram is prepared to cover the
important activities of the assignment which is self-explanatory and is shown in the figure.

The widening/improvement work to 2/4 laning will be explored to fit within the existing
right of way avoiding land acquisition, except for locations having inadequate width and
where provisions of short bypasses, service roads, alignment corrections, improvement of
intersections are considered necessary and practicable and cost effective. However bypass
proposals will also be considered, wherever in urban areas, improvement to 2/4 lane of the
existing road is not possible. The land acquisition details as per revenue records/maps and
as required in TOR will also be furnished.

We have in-house set up with latest computers/laptops loaded with software for the design
of Alignment, Roadway, Bridges, steel structures, geotechnical analysis.

We shall also approach NABL accredited material testing laboratory to ensure that the
material are tested with proper procedures and consistency in results which will help in
accurate design of pavement, embankment and structures

3.4 Quality Assurance System for Consultancy Assignment

It is of great importance to maintain consistency in design, careful preparation of drawings

and reliable design work of any projects by us. The quality of this work is a vital ingredient in
the successful completion of design work and implementation of the project both for the
new highways and for upgrading and maintaining the existing roads

Our edge in terms of delivering high quality products requires effective quality assurance
mechanisms. For this we have developed and are applying a quality assurance system. It
may be divided into three phases:

1) Pre-implementation phase

2) Implementation

3) Quality assurance of outputs

investigations and documentation activities. The detailed QAP will be discussed and finalized
with the concerned NH officials immediately upon the award of the Contract. The same shall
be submitted within the stipulated time and strictly observed to. The QAP will become a
guide to both us and the client in executing the assignment as well as monitoring the
activities.

3.7.1 Classified Traffic Volume Count Survey

The classified traffic volume count surveys will be carried out for 7 days (continuous, direction-
wise) at the selected survey stations. The vehicle classification system as given in relevant IRC
code will be followed. However, the following generalized classification system is suggested in
view of the requirements of traffic demand estimates and economic analysis:

Motorized Traffic Non-Motorized Traffic

2 Wheeler Bi-Cycle
3 Wheeler Cycle-Rickshaw

Passenger Car Animal Drawn Vehicle (ADV)

Utility Vehicle (Jeep, Van etc) Hand Cart
Mini Bus Other Non-Motorised Vehicle
Bus
Standard Bus
LCV-Passenger
LCV
LCV-Freight
MCV -2 Axle Rigid Chassis
HCV - 3 Axle Rigid Chassis
Truck
MAV - Semi Articulated
MAV - Articulated

All results will be presented in tabular and graphical form. The survey data will be analysed to
bring out the hourly and daily variations. The traffic volume count per day will be averaged to
show a weekly Average Daily Traffic (ADT) by vehicle type. The Annual Average Daily Traffic
(AADT) will be worked out by applying seasonal factors. We shall compile the relevant traffic
volume data from secondary sources also. The salient features of traffic volume characteristics
will be brought out and variations if any, from the traffic census carried out by the State ROADS
& BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAPwill be suitably explained.

3.7.2 Origin-Destination (O-D) and Commodity Movements Surveys

We shall carry out 1-day (24 hour, both directions) O-D and Commodity Movement Surveys at
locations finalized in consultation with Roads & Building Department, NH Wing, GoAP . These
will be essentially required around congested towns to delineate through traffic. The road side
interviews will be on random sample basis and cover all four-wheeled vehicles. The locations of
the O-D survey and Commodity Movement surveys will normally be same as for the classified
traffic count stations.

The location of origin and destination zones will be determined in relation to each individual
station and the possibility of traffic diversion to the Project Road from/to other road routes
including bypasses.

The trip matrices will be worked out for each type of vehicle and information on weight for
trucks would be summed up by commodity type and the results tabulated, giving total weight
and average weight per truck for the various commodity types. The sample size for each vehicle
type will be indicated on the table and also in the graphical representations.

The data derived from surveys will also be analyzed to bring out the lead and load
characteristics and desire line diagrams. The data analysis would also bring out the requirement
for the construction of bypasses. The distribution of lead and load obtained from the surveys
will be compared with those derived from the axle load studies. The commodity movement
data will be taken into consideration while making the traffic demand estimates.

3.7.3 Turning Movement Surveys

The turning movement surveys for estimation of peak hour traffic for the design of major and
minor intersections will be carried out for the Study. The details regarding composition and
directional movement of traffic will be furnished.

The methodology for the surveys will be as per IRC: SP: 41-1994. The details including location
and duration of surveys will be finalized in consultation with ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT,
NH WING, GOAP officials.

The data derived from the survey will be analyzed to identify requirements of suitable remedial
measures, such as construction of underpasses, fly-overs, interchanges, grade- separated
intersections along the project road alignment. Intersections with high traffic volume requiring
special treatments either presently or in future will be identified.

3.7.4 Axle Load Surveys

Axle load surveys in both directions will be carried out at suitable location(s) in the project road
stretch on a random sample basis normally for trucks only (both empty and loaded trucks) for 2
normal days - (24 hours) at special count stations to be finalized in consultation with ROADS &
BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP . However, a few buses may be weighed in order to
get an idea about their loading behavior. While selecting the location(s) of axle load survey
station(s), the locations of existing bridges with load restrictions, if any, should be taken into
account and such sites should be avoided.

The axle load surveys will be done using axle load pads or other sophisticated instruments. The
location(s) of count station(s) and the survey methodology including the data formats and the
instrument type to be used will be finalized before taking up the axle load surveys.

The axle load data should be collected axle configuration-wise. The number of equivalent
standard axles per truck will be calculated on the basis of results obtained. The results of the
survey would bring out the VDF for each truck type (axle configuration, if the calculated VDF is
found to be below the national average, then national average will be used. Furthermore, the
data from axle load surveys are analyzed to bring out the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and
Single Axle Load (SAL) Distributions by truck type (axle configuration).

3.7.5 Speed-Delay Surveys

We shall carry out appropriate field studies such as moving car survey to determine running
speed and journey speed. The data would be analyzed to identify sections with typical traffic
flow problems and congestion. The objective of the survey is to recommend suitable measures
for segregation of local traffic, smooth flow of through traffic and traffic safety. These measures

would include the provision of bypasses, under-passes, fly-overs, interchanges, grade-separated

intersections and service roads.

3.7.6 Traffic Demand Estimates

We shall make traffic demand estimates and establish possible traffic growth rates in respect of
all categories of vehicles, taking into account the past trends, annual population and real per
capita growth rate, elasticity of transport demand in relation to income and estimated annual
production increase. The other aspects including socio-economic development plans and the
land use patterns of the region

having impact on the traffic growth, the projections of vehicle manufacturing industry in the
country, development plans for the other modes of transport, O-D and commodity movement
behavior are also be taken into account while working out the traffic demand estimates.

The values of elasticity of transport demand will be based on the prevailing practices in the
country. We shall give complete background including references for selecting the value of
transport demand elasticity.

It is envisaged that the 2/4-laning of the project road sections would be completed and opened
to traffic after 3 years. The traffic demand estimates will be done for a further period of 30
years from completion of two/four lane. The demand estimates will be done assuming three
scenarios, namely, optimistic, pessimistic and most likely traffic growth. The growth factors will
be worked out for five-yearly intervals.

Traffic projections would be based on sound and proven forecasting techniques. The traffic
projections would also bring out the possible impact of implementation of any competing
facility in the near future. The demand estimates should also take into account the freight and
passenger traffic along the major corridors that may interconnect with the project. Impact of
toll charges on the traffic estimates should be estimated.

The methodology for traffic demand estimates described in the preceding paragraphs is for
normal traffic only. In addition to the estimates for normal traffic, we shall work out the
estimates for generated, induced and diverted traffic. The traffic forecasts will also be made for

both diverted and generated traffic. Overall traffic forecast thus made will form the basis for
the design of each pavement type and other facilities/ ancillary works.

3.8 Engineering Surveys & Investigations

 Reconnaissance and Alignment

 Topographic Surveys

 Road and Pavement Investigations

 Investigations for Bridges and Structure

 Material Investigations

3.8.1 Reconnaissance and Alignment

We shall make an in-depth study of the available land width (ROW) topographic maps, satellite
imageries and air photographs of the project area, geological maps, catchment area maps,
contour plans, flood flow data and seismological data. And other available relevant information
collected by them concerning the existing alignment. We shall make efforts for minimizing land
acquisition.

The detailed ground reconnaissance may be taken up immediately after the study of maps and
other data.

The data derived from the reconnaissance surveys are utilized for planning and programming
the detailed surveys and investigations. All field studies including the traffic surveys should be
taken up on the basis of information derived from the reconnaissance surveys.

The data and information obtained from the reconnaissance surveys will be documented. The
data obtained from the reconnaissance surveys should form the core of the database which
would be supplemented and augmented using the data obtained from detailed field studies
and investigations.

huts, buildings, fencing and trees (with girth greater than 0.3metre) oil and gas lines etc.
falling within the extent of survey.

The width of survey corridor will generally be as given under:

 The width of the survey corridor should take into account the layout of the existing
alignment including the extent of embankment and cut slopes and the general ground
profile. While carrying out the field surveys, the widening scheme (i.e. right, left or
symmetrical to the center line of the existing carriageway) should be taken into
consideration so that the topographic surveys cover sufficient width beyond the center
line of the proposed divided carriageway.

 In case the reconnaissance survey reveals the need for bypassing the congested
locations, the traverse lines would be run along the possible alignments in order to
identify and select the most suitable alignment for the bypass. The detailed topographic

surveys should be carried out along the bypass alignment approved by ROADS &
BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP. At locations where grade separated
intersections could be the obvious choice, the survey area will be suitably increased.
Field notes of the survey should be maintained which would also provide information
about traffic, soil, drainage etc.

 The width of the surveyed corridor will be widened appropriately where developments
and / or encroachments have resulted in a requirement for adjustment in the alignment,
or where it is felt that the existing alignment can be improved upon through minor
adjustments.

The objectives of the road and pavement condition surveys are to identify defects and sections
with similar characteristics. All defects are systematically referenced, recorded and quantified
for the purpose of determining the mode of rehabilitation.

The pavement condition surveys are carried out using visual means. Supplemented by actual
measurements and in accordance with the widely accepted methodology (AASHTO, IRC, OECD,
TRL and World Bank Publications) adapted to meet the study requirements. The measurement
of rut depth would be made using standard straight edges.

The shoulder and embankment conditions will be evaluated by visual means and the existence
of distress modes (cuts, erosion marks, failure, drops) and extent (none moderate, frequent and
very frequent) of such distress manifestations would be recorded.

For sections with severe distresses, additional investigations as appropriate will be carried out
to determine the cause of such distresses.

Pavement Roughness

The roughness surveys will be carried out using Bump Integrator or similar instrument. The
methodology for the surveys will be as per the widely used standard practices. The calibration
of the instrument will be done as per the procedure given in the World Bank’s Technical
Publications and duly got authenticated by established laboratory/institution acceptable to the
client.

The surveys will be carried out along the outer wheel paths. The surveys will cover a minimum
of two runs along the wheel paths for each direction.

The results of the survey shall be expressed in terms of BI and IRI and shall be presented in
tabular and graphical forms. The processed data shall be analyzed using the cumulative
difference approach to identify road segments homogenous with respect to surface roughness.

Pavement Structural Strength

We shall carry out structural strength surveys for existing pavements using Benkelman Beam
Deflection technique in accordance with the CGRA procedure given in IRC: 81-1997 (“Guidelines
for Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements Using Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique”).

It is suggested that the deflection surveys may be carried out as per the scheme given below:

 Mainline testing; and,

 Control section testing.

The deflection tests for the mainline shall be carried out at every 500 m along the road sections
covered under the study. The control section testing shall involve carrying out deflection testing
for each 100 m long homogenous road segment along the road sections. The selection of
homogenous segment will be based on the data derived from pavement condition surveys. The
total length of such homogenous segments will not be less than 100 m per kilometer. The
deflection measurements for the control section testing should be at an interval of not more
than 10 m.

Test pits are taken at every 500 m and also along each homogeneous road segment to obtain
pavement composition details (pavement course, material type and thickness) so as to be able
to study if a correlation exists between deflection and composition. If so, the relationships are
to be used while working out the overlay thickness for the existing pavement.

Benkelman Beam Deflection surveys may not be carried out for severely distressed sections of
the road warranting reconstruction. We shall, immediately upon the award of the contract, will
have to submit to ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP the scheme describing
the testing schedule including the interval. The testing scheme will be supported by data from
detailed reconnaissance surveys.

Subgrade Characteristics and Strength

Based on the data derived from condition (surface condition, roughness) and structural
strength surveys, the project road section should be divided into segments homogenous with

respect to pavement condition and strength. The delineation of segments homogenous with
respect to roughness and strength should be done using the cumulative difference approach
(AASHTO, 1993).

The data on soil classification and mechanical characteristics for soils along the existing
alignments may already be available with the ROAD AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT . The testing
scheme is, therefore, proposed as given under:

 For the widening (2/4 Laning) of existing road within the ROW, We shall test at least
three sub-grade soil samples for each homogenous road segment or three samples for
each soil type encountered, whichever is more.

 For the roads along new alignments, the test pits for sub grade soil shall be @ 5km or
for each soil type, whichever is more. A minimum of three samples should be tested
corresponding to each homogenous segment.

The testing for subgrade soil shall include:

i. In-situ density and moisture content at each test pit

ii. Field CBR using DCP at each test pit

iii. Characterization (grain size and Atterberg limits) at each test pit and,

iv. Laboratory moisture-density characteristics (modified AASHTO compaction);

v. Laboratory CBR (un-soaked and 4-day soak compacted at three energy levels) and swell.

For problematic soils, the testing will be more rigorous. The characteristics with regard to
permeability and consolidation will also be determined for these soils. The frequency of
sampling and testing of these soils will be finalized in consultation with the ROADS & BUILDING
DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP officers after the problematic soil types are identified along
the road sections. The laboratory for testing of material should be got approved from ROADS &
BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP before start of work.

bridges, history of hydraulic functioning of existing bridge, if any, under flood situation, general
direction of river course through structure, afflux, extent and magnitude of flood, effect of
backwater, if any, aggradation/degradation of bed, evidence of scour etc. will be used to
augment the available hydrological data. The presence of flood control/irrigation structures, if
affecting the hydraulic characteristics like causing obliquity, concentration of flow, scour, silting
of bed, change in flow levels, bed levels etc. will be studied and considered in design of bridges.
The details of any future planned work that may affect the river hydraulics will be studied and
considered.

We shall will make a desk study of available data on topography (topographic maps,
stereoscopic aerial photography), storm duration, rainfall statistics, top soil characteristics,
vegetation cover etc. so as to assess the catchment areas and hydraulic parameters for all
existing and proposed drainage provisions. The findings of the desk study would be further
supplemented and augmented by a reconnaissance along the area. All important hydrological
features will be noted during this field reconnaissance. We shall collect information on high

regard.

Geo-technical Investigations and Sub-Soil Exploration

We shall carry out geo-technical investigations and sub-surface explorations for the proposed
Bridges along high embankments and any other location as necessary for proper design of the
works and conduct all relevant laboratory and field tests on soil and rock samples.

The deviation(s), if any, by us from the scheme presented above should be got approved from
ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP.

However, where a study of geo-technical reports and information available from adjacent
crossings over the same waterway indicates that subsurface variability is such that boring at the
suggested spacing will be insufficient to adequately define the conditions for design purposes,
the we shall review and finalize the bore hole locations.

Geotechnical Investigations and Sub soil Exploration will be carried out to determine the nature
and properties of existing strata in bed, banks and approaches with trial pits and bore hole
sections showing the levels, nature and properties of various strata to a sufficient depth below
the level suitable for foundations, safe intensity of pressure on the foundation strata,
proneness of site to artesian conditions, seismic disturbance and other engineering properties
of soil etc. Geotechnical investigation and Sub-soil Exploration will be done as per IRC 78-2014.

The sub-soil exploration and testing should be carried out through the Geotechnical
Consultants empanelled by MORT&H. The soil testing reports shall be in the format prescribed
in relevant IRC Codes.

establish the widening (2/4-laning) requirements with respect to the different horizon periods
taking into account special problems such as road segments with isolated steep gradients.

In the case of closely spaced cross roads the we will examine different options such as,
providing grade separated structure for some of them with a view to reduce number of at-
grade crossings, services roads connecting the cross-roads and closing access from some of the
intersections and prepare and furnish appropriate proposals for this purpose keeping in view
the cost of improvement, impact on traffic movement and accessibility to cross roads. The
detailed drawings and cost estimate should include the provisions for realignments of the
existing cross roads to allow such arrangements. We will also design and prepare other details

Chapter 7. Design Standards and Proposed Cross-Sections

7.1 Indicative Design Standards for Undivided Carriageway:

7.1.1 Approach:

The aim is to provide maximum safety to the road users, in defining the highway geometry,
carriageway, shoulder widths, embankments and other pertinent components for an
uninterrupted and smooth flow of traffic. The approach adopted in achieving the safety is as
follows:

 Provide appropriate cross traffic facilities without impeding traffic flow;

 Use ROW only and recommend land acquisition where absolutely essential.

 Minimize impact on roadside settlements and environment;

 Avoid adverse impacts of crowded areas along the stretch of Project road;

 Provide cost-efficient, but readily constructible facility with least hindrances, namely,
land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation.

7.1.2 Reference Standards

IRC Standards will be used in general. However, where IRC does not cover any particular feature
or aspect appropriately, AASHTO and other International Standards will be used for providing
additional safety, namely, length of vertical curves in view of likely modernization of goods
trucks in India (height of driver’s eye), super elevation and radii of curve beyond which no super
elevation is needed and extra widening on horizontal curves for smaller radii. AASHTO
Standards for transition curves will be considered as appropriate.

7.2 Design Standards

The following paragraph presents a summary of applicable design standards and engineering
assessment in terms of:

 Highway engineering Specifications and Standards

Consultancy Services for Project Management including preparation of Detailed Project Report of selected
stretches/corridors of National Highways/ State Roads (approved “In Principle” for declaration as National Highways) in the

Final Inception Report
- JV -

 Geometric design

 Intersections

 Road embankment and cutting

 Pavement design.

 Drainage and hydrological studies

 Landscaping and plantation.

 Design of structures

7.2.1 Highway Engineering Specifications and Standards

The main Standard applicable for the design of two-Laning (with paved shoulders) of the
Project Highway shall conform to the Manual of Specifications And Standards for Two- Laning of
highways through Public Private Partnership published by the Indian Road Congress (IRC: SP:
73-2015) Other Design standards and specifications that would apply shall be drawn from IRC
codes and guidelines and other relevant national and international standards.

7.2.2 Geometric Design

7.2.2.1 Terrain Classification and Design Speed

The terrain in the project stretch is plain with the general cross slope of the country is less than
10%. Based on this the recommended Project Highway would be designed for a design speed,
referred as Ruling design speed of 80 kmph in normal situations. A Minimum design speed of 40
to 65 kmph would be adopted where site conditions are restrictive and adequate land width is
not available.

Normal (m) Range (m) Normal (m)
Open

areas

Built Up
30 30 - 60 20
areas

In order to avoid and limit land acquisition, the land widths will be kept to a minimum within
the above range.

7.2.2.3 Roadway Width

The width of roadway depends on the category of road and the nature of terrain through which
it passes. Though the project stretch of Koyyuru to Paderu passes through plain, rolling and hilly
terrain, every effort will be made to maintain uniformity within the roadway width as far as
practicable.

The roadway width of cross-drainage structures in plain and rolling terrain measured from
outside to outside of parapet walls should be equal to the normal roadway width in that
section. In mountainous and hilly terrain, the roadway widths are exclusive of parapets and side
drains.

On horizontal curves, the roadway width should be increased corresponding to the extra
widening of the carriageway required at the provided curvature.

7.2.2.4 Shoulder Width

A total shoulder width of 3.5m will be proposed. The 3.5m shoulder will compose of 1.5m
paved shoulder of the same composition as that of the main carriageway and 2.0m
earthen/hard shoulder composed of granular sub-base material or selected earth fill. The paved

shoulder in addition to providing lateral support to the main carriageway can also acts as a
separate lane for 2-wheeler / cycle traffic on the highway.

7.2.2.5 Pavement / Shoulder camber or cross-fall

The cross-fall in the main pavement and paved shoulder is proposed to be kept as 2.5% and
3.0% in hard shoulder. However, on hill roads this may not be possible in every situation,
particularly in reaches with a meandering alignment where straight sections are few and far
between. In such cases, discretion may be exercised and instead of normal camber, the
carriageway may be given a uni-directional cross-fall towards the hill side, with regard to factors
such as the direction of super-elevation at the flanking horizontal curves, ease of drainage,
problem of erosion of the down-hill face, etc. On super-elevated sections, the hard shoulder
should have a rollover of 7% maximum at the outer edge with respect to paved shoulder and a
cross-fall varying from 3% to the maximum super-elevated value on the curve at the inner edge.

7.2.2.6 Horizontal Alignment

The tangent sections, circular curve, transition curve and super elevation are the major
elements of horizontal alignment. A balanced control on the above elements is required to
provide safe and continuous flow of vehicles under the general traffic conditions.

The minimum radii of horizontal curves applicable to the Project Highway are:

Nature of Terrain Desirable Minimum Absolute Minimum

Plain & Rolling 400 m 250 m

Mountainous & Steep 150 m 75 m
The radii of horizontal curves shall not be less than desirable value except where site conditions
are restrictive and adequate length is not available. In such restrictive conditions, the radius of
curvature shall not be less than the absolute minimum radius.

7.2.2.7 Bypasses & Re-alignments

Bypasses or detours will be provided to segregate the local traffic from the through traffic. Re-
alignments are to be done at places having sub-standard curves in plain terrain.

7.2.2.8 Vertical Alignment

There are two major elements in vertical geometry of an alignment i.e. longitudinal gradient
and vertical curve. The following gradients for Plain / Rolling terrain conditions as of Project
Highway are given below.

Nature of Terrain Ruling Gradient Limiting Gradient

Plain and Rolling 2.5% 3.3%

Mountainous 5.0% 6.0%

Steep 6.0% 7.0%

7.2.2.9 Sight Distance

Visibility is an important requirement for the safety of travel on roads. The various sight
distances for design speed applicable for Project Highway is given in the table below.

Stopping Sight Intermediate Sight Overtaking Sight

Speed (km/hr)
Distance (m) Distance (m) Distance (m)
100 180 360 640
80 120 240 470

7.2.3 Road Embankment and Cutting

Embankment height generally varies from 1.2 to 3m. High embankment is generally provided in
approach to bridges. At other sections of project road embankment varies from 1.2m to 2.0m.

All high embankments will be designed from stability considerations and adequate protection
works will be provided as per the guidelines given in various Standards.

7.2.4 Pavement Design

Although, the main highway itself is flexible paved, possibility of provision of rigid pavements
will also be explored in certain areas. “Guidelines for the Design of Plain Jointed Rigid
Pavements for Highways”, will be followed for the design of rigid pavement while IRC: 37-2012,
“Guidelines for the Design of Flexible Pavement” will be followed for the flexible pavement
designs. The IRC-37 allows both (i) New pavement designs for min 15 years for min 20MSA and
without stage construction. Ii) Rigid pavement shall be designed for a minimum design period
of 30 years without stage construction. We shall establish alternative strategies or combination
of initial design, strengthening and maintenance to provide the specified level of pavement
performance.

7.2.5 Drainage and Hydrological Studies

The drainage will be designed in accordance with IRC: SP: 42 - 1994 “Guidelines on Road
Drainage” and IRC: SP: 50 - 1999 “Guidelines on Urban Drainage”. The selection on type of drain
i.e. open drains (lined or unlined) and covered drains will be made accordingly.

7.2.6 Landscaping and Plantation

Plantation adjacent to the highway is not very significant. The final design will take plantation
into consideration. We shall work out appropriate plan for planting of trees (specifying type of
plantation), horticulture, floriculture on the surplus land of the right of way with a view to
beautify the highway and making the environment along the highway pleasing. The existing
trees / plants shall be retained to the extent possible. The Transplantation of trees shall also be
proposed wherever feasible.

7.2.7 Design of Structures

Structures design should be planned in such a way to optimize the design variance, site
activities and materials as well. Modular design for box structures would save by the multiple
uses of the formwork and thereby would speed up the construction process.

7.2.8 Road Safety Measures

Following IRC Codes / Guidelines will be followed:

 IRC SP 44 - 1994: Highway Safety Code.

 IRC SP 43 - 1994: Guidelines on Low Cost Traffic Management Techniques for Urban
Areas.

 IRC 79 - 1981: Recommended Practice for Road Delineators.

 IRC 70 - 1979: Guidelines on Regulation and Control of Mixed Traffic in Urban Areas.
Among others, the following measures will be considered for ensuring safety: -

Chapter 12.Land Acquisition Plan

12.1 Land Acquisition Plan

The Land Acquisition Plan for the proposed widening of highway and corrected alignment of the
existing highway will be prepared after acquiring the data from relevant Authority such as the
District Collector/BLRO/'Amin'. The LA report shall include detail schedules about acquisition of
landholdings as per revenue records and their locations in a strip plan and also the costs as per
district authorities.

We have initiated the efforts to obtain all land records along the highway. The acquisition plan
will be framed after Strip plan and final Highway horizontal and vertical profile are finalized and
approved by ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP.

Chapter 13.Summary and Conclusion

13.1 Summary

We have mobilized and initial site visit was carried out on 04th August 2016 to 10th August 2016.
Complete project alignment was visited and due interaction was carried out with local ROAD
AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT officials. During the site visit, an assessment of the general
terrain, condition of pavement, type of major/minor bridges etc. was carried out. Details of
existing Right of way (ROW) indicated in the report need to be confirmed in due course. Initial
appreciation of flow of traffic from Koyyuru-Chintapalii-Lambasingi-Paderu carried out. The
information obtained has been tabulated in various preceding chapters. Depending upon the
scope and timeframe available a detailed methodology and work- program has been evolved.

13.2 Conclusion / Next Step

It will be our endeavor to deploy adequate resources for timely preparation of the DPR. At
frequent levels interaction with ROADS & BUILDING DEPARTMENT, NH WING, GOAP officials
will be carried out for obtaining concurrence regarding issues of significance.
