TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY
Scope of Work

1.0 General

The survey shall be carried out in conformity with IRC: SP-19, using rapid survey techniques
such as GPS and Total Station and shall produce three-dimensional data. The data required is
i) for the centreline of the road, full ROW subject to a minimum of 30m to either side of the
centreline. At junctions with existing Project Road, an area of minimum 200m radius on all
four sides has to be surveyed.

Traverse (co-ordinate close): Fractional misclosure of 1/5,000 or better-
(i) Levelling: Limit of accuracy to be 20 mm*(K)
1/2
-(where K is the circuit distance
levelled in kilometres).

This detailed survey will collect data so that a Digital Terrain Model may be created for use in
the highway design program. In order to create a digital terrain model for design purpose,
survey data will be collected as strings or points, as appropriate. However the interval at
which data is collected along the string will be dependent on the terrain, ie for long flat areas
with little variation of slope, a maximum interval of 20 m is required. In areas of undulation or
bad road surface the interval would be reduced to, 10 or less depending on the degree of
irregularity, terrain and curvature of existing road alignment. To establish firm vertical control
for location, design, construction, permanent bench marks should be established at intervals
of 1 km and temporary bench marks has intervals of 250m and at or near all drainage or
underpass structures.

2.0 Topographic Survey Details

The survey shall include all structures, break lines, etc. The survey shall include the following
points. (F): Full survey. (P): Pavement Survey.

Centre line, carriageway edges, shoulder edges, Drain details and toe of the slope of
existing roads (F+P)
ROW on either side of the road (F)
Points 5m beyond ROW (F)

Following land features shall be captured and not limited to the following.

Trees (position, species and girth measured 1.2 m from ground level) (F): Tree Species.
Building fronts or outlines where they encroach within the corridor 25 m on either end (to
be classified by construction type). (F) Building/commercial establishment names shall be
indicated in the drawing.
Type of building such as temporary/permanent, no. of stories, and basement details
along with building name.
Water bodies, streams, canals and ditches etc.
Utilities, such as electricity, telephone, water supply, boreholes, etc. If underground
utilities can be identified by inspection and manhole covers, they will be recorded.
Drains and Nallahs and pipelines shall be shown with bed levels and HFLs
Culverts and bridges note bridge survey to be limited to carriageway width, footpath,
overall width and abutment outline.
All pertinent road details centreline of carriageway, hard shoulder edge, soft shoulder
edge, embankment / cutting edges top and bottom, side drains, footpath, signs, km
posts, etc.
Land Use and ROW Demarcation by compound wall/wire fence/field bund etc. shall be
presented.
At all curves, the cross sections to be taken at closer intervals
At sharp curves (existing curve radius <500m), additional spot levels to be taken on the
inside of the curve for a minimum additional width of 70m from existing road edge to
allow for realignment. Likewise where there are existing reverse curves, additional spot
levels should be taken on the inside of both the curves (keeping in view the possible
straightening of the alignment)
For all major junctions and minor junctions, levels up to 200m along the cross road from
the main carriageway intersection should be taken and up to 15m from the existing
shoulder edge on both sides of the major junctions and minor junctions, side road
destination shall be given in the drawing.
At all major intersections additional features coming within the impact area should be
recorded.
For all culverts, invert levels on upstream and downstream sides have to be recorded
together with another string joining the centreline of both parapets. For all bridges, the
stream centreline together with levels of top and bottom of banks for a length of 50m
upstream and downstream should be recorded.
Wherever the existing road width (blacktop surface) is more than 3.5m wide, an
additional spot level is to be taken between the centreline and edges of the blacktop
road.
Hard shoulder edges (surfaces with WBM or WMM or just metaling) are to be recorded
separately and assigned a unique string label as per standard code. These strings can be
discontinuous, i.e they have to be picked up only where they exist.
Soft shoulder edges and embankment toes need to be continuous invariably for a
particular road section.
Railway level crossings (F+P).
Any crossing by road or rail (F+P).
Electric transformers, mast, tower, etc.
All telephone lines, OFC lines, Private OFC lines, Water Pipes above and below the ground
belonging to Towns, Villages, Zilla Panchayats and other bodies, Electricity lines. Pump
house, bore well, well etc.
All boundary pillars state, district, taluk, villages etc marked in the drawing.
The legends for surveying and preparation of plans shall conform to that of Survey of
India

The width of the survey corridor will be increased to collect data such as existing road
junctions and stream beds, where the adjoining road/ stream bed will be surveyed for a
distance of 100m to a width of 50m from centreline on either side. Building outlines will be
surveyed where they encroach into the ROW as defined in the data sheet.

The items to be picked up during the survey will include, and not be limited to, the following:

Levels along the alignment shall be taken at every 20m intervals and at all intermediate
breaks along the centre line of the alignment. Spot levels shall be recorded at critical points.

Cross sections shall be taken at intervals of 20m, reduced to 10m on sharp curves / Rolling
Terrain. Cross sections shall also be taken at the centre line of all streams.

River/Channel cross-sections shall be taken at every 10m interval up to a distance of 50m on
u/s and d/s from the edge of the road.
The checked survey data will be presented in Mx Road/Civil 3D/Auto CADD acceptable format
along with a check plot. The easting, northing and elevation data will be presented in meters
to the UTM43 projection.

Base Plan with all details (Building/Commercial establishment names, Village/settlement
names, Road names, Cross Road destination, Type/Details of structure, Km stone number,
River/Stream/Nala names, Irrigation canal names, etc.) to be checked and all the details shall
incorporated in the drawing.

Accuracy

Leveling accuracy to 12K mm, where K = kms of level run.

3.0 Deliverables

Details of GPS, Permanent and Temporary Bench marks connected to GTS with
necessary key map/photos and Identification description in excel format.

Full details of the primary survey control networks and the basis for establishment of
control coordinates.
Final Survey report including level data, traverse co-ordinates and base plan along
with longitudinal and cross section.

level and point description.

4.0 Materials and other General Instructions
