Work Plan & Methodology

Name of work:

Carrying out final location survey, Geotech investigation, Preparation of


drawing & other preliminary activity in connection with new line between
Ajmer(Nasirabad)- Sawaimadhopur(Chauth ka Barwara) via Tonk.

1.0 Introduction:
North Western Railway has decided the need for construction of a new Broad Gauge railway line
that extends from west to east, connecting two nodal points of Nasirabad and Sawaimadhopur
through the district of Ajmer, Tonk and Sawai Madhopur in the state of Rajasthann.
Whenever the construction of a new railway line is under consideration, preliminary
investigations are done by the railway administration to determine how the proposed line will fit
in with the general scheme of future railway development. The preliminary investigations are
normally based on a careful study of the (a) Existing topo sheets and other maps of the area, (b)
Published figures of trade and population of the area to be served, (c) Statistical data of existing
railway lines in similar terrain in other areas
Once a decision has been taken during preliminary investigations about the general feasibility
and desirability of a railway line, surveys are undertaken before the construction of the new line

2.0 Project Understanding:


Surveying provides the foundation for all engineering work data collection and organization
that is essential to accomplishing accurate engineering design. If the data is not collected and
presented in a way that engineering decisions can be made efficiently, it is highly unlikely that
the clients expectations will be met satisfactorily. The pre-construction survey is followed by
Reconnaissance and the preliminary survey to formulate essential part of the planning process
and to the objectives to be achieved. The present work is the hierarchy of survey and
investigation of alignment, subsoil for structures and associated design drawing works for a new
line between Ajmer(Nasirabad)- Sawaimadhopur(Chauth ka Barwara) via Tonk traversing an
approximated 165 km distance.
The following types of surveys are normally conducted:
(a) Traffic survey
(b) Reconnaissance survey
(c) Preliminary survey

(d) Final location survey


While Traffic survey, reconnaissance survey and preliminary survey covers the study of traffic
projection, analysis of alternatives, characteristics of project area, standards of construction,
selection of routes, cost phasing and investment schedule and financial appraisal and thus
decision is taken for a particular railway line, Final location survey is conducted to prepare
working details and make accurate cost estimates.

The alignment in general will be as per RECT survey report. However alignment may be
detoured/changed at some locations as per site requirement.

Topographic survey is the most important survey as it establishes the exact layout of existing
ground condition and important adjacent features to access, other physical features and the
obstacles in the way of improvements. This survey also establishes reference points with the
help of which the design alignment & profile can be set on ground. The accuracy of the plans
and plan quantities depends upon the precision with which the survey is conducted. The
measurement of coordinates and elevations must be correct and the topographic information
must be complete. The final location survey shall also include fixation of reference pillars, detail
leveling and cross section along with longitudinal section, design of optimal alignment
considering the engineering parameters like degree of curve, ruling gradient, transition curve
and alignment at the location of River and grade separated structures.
Once the alignment is worked out by producing plan and profile, the location for soil
investigation at structure foundation shall be carried out. This can be done in phases on the
total stretch based on the completion of plan and profile.
The geotechnical investigation will be carried out for determining the engineering
characteristics of the sub-soil underlying the foundations of the proposed bridges, road over
bridges, viaducts or LC etc. and for embankment/ cutting so as to determine the suitability of
the soil or rock surrounding the foundation assessed based on mechanical and physical properties
like grain-size distribution, porosity of rock, ground water level, sinking and driving effort,
sensitivity, any existence of deleterious material in soil or ground water, etc along with soil
parameters and rock characteristics. Plate load test wherever required need to be conducted.
Then based on the bearing capacity from soil investigation and necessary hydraulic data as
collected the general arrangement drawings for Major/important bridges and detail working
drawing for minor bridges need to be prepared.

The detail of the work has been well described in the tender document, under Special
Conditions of Contract on NS Items of Schedule B of BOQ. However, as the work volume mainly
deals with the engineering survey and geotechnical investigation and other engineering decision
is based on the same, it is felt to give a detail description of methods of these two major
activities, namely Topographical survey ( Schedule B of BOQ) and the Geotechnical investigation
( Schedule A of BOQ).

4.0 Identification of Final alignment at site


To start with the given job as already been defined by the hierarchy of subtasks, as stated
above, its important to identify the alignment on which detail engineering survey which is
termed as final location survey - in railway engineering ( ref para 2.0 Project Understanding),
shall be carried out.
Identification of alignment shall be carried out based on the RECT (Reconnaissance Engineering
cum Traffic Survey) report which covers all the policy matters involved in proposing an
alignment starting from basic requirement and purposes, obligatory points, general topography
of the country and all economic consideration.
While the basic requirement considers the strategic reasons, political reasons, development of
back word area or to connect the trade centres etc, the reconnaissance survey considers the
general topography and the possible alignment alternatives of the new line. Traffic survey, in
conjunction with reconnaissance, determines most promising route for the railway in the area
including possible traffic the railway line will carry and standard of railway line to be followed.
It is understood that during the above survey, survey team considered two alternatives and
evaluated them based on permanent way, embankment, bridge etc to arrive at an estimated
cost and investment schedule. Therefore, the Railway administration decides the subject railway
line to be constructed.
The selected alignment passes through the important towns / villages of Ajmer, Adarsh Nagar,
Hatundi, Lachhipura, Rajoshi, Nasirabad, Luwharwada, Jaswant pura, Sarana, Goyala, Sarawad,
Surajpura, Kekari, Mevda Kalan, Naya gaon, Baghera, Dabur dumba,Toda Rai singh, Bansera,
Barwas, Dardahind, Tonk, Bamor, Khera, Banetha, Sedri , Chauth Ka Barwada, Devpura, Sawai
Madhopur.
Now to undertake the final location survey work to get more details of the new line being
contemplated, its important to identify and review the selected route based on RECT report at

NewB.G.Line

site, to minimize any hindrance during the final location survey to prepare the working detail of
construction.
Detail review of RECT report and corresponding alignment shall be conducted to understand the
obligatory points through which the alignment passes through.
Subsequent to review, a detail desk study shall be conducted based on collected topo sheet,
imagery maps and the state of the art Google earth map.
The proposed alignment of RECT report shall be transformed to geo-referenced co-ordinate on
the maps to understand whether there is any certain or necessary changes required to obtain the
best feasible alignment.
An alignment is a combination of straight line and curves between the stations. Because the
proposed corridor is a new BG line, the geometry shall be optimized to understand the point of
intersection of tangents of the proposed alignment. The points are then verified at regular
interval on ground by their global positioning system.
The process of ground verification may come up with detour / changes in alignment other than
one obtained from desk study. Therefore, all the alternative alignment shall be tracked down.
The same shall be updated on the map for further ground verification, which shall produce the
optimum project alignment.
The above process of finding the alignment shall involve community intersection with local
government bodies and other stakeholders.
The above exercise of identifying the alignment shall be recorded on the topo sheet maps and
submitted on a regular interval for the necessary approval of the client to proceed for the detail
engineering survey and other related work.
Keeping in view the length of the proposed line which is approximately 165km, the entire
project corridor has been divided into three sections.
Section I Nasirabad to Kekri (approx 58Km)
Section II Kekri to Tonk (approx 60Km)
Section III Tonk Chauth ka Barwara (approx 47Km)
The Section from Tonk to Chaauth Ka Barwara has been given emphasis, in consultation with
Department, to be completed at first priority followed by other two sections.

5.0 Detail topographical survey work


Carrying out of final location surveys shall be one of the most important and crucial field
tasks under the project. The detailed field surveys shall be carried out using Theodoloite
or advanced Total Station. The data from the topographical surveys shall be available in
x,y,z format for use in high precision software to develop digital terrain model (DTM).
Survey Engineer shall be fully responsible for accuracy and sufficiency of the
topographical survey as per TOR.
While carrying out the field surveys, the actual scheme shall be taken in to consideration
so that the topographical surveys cover sufficient width beyond the centre line of the
proposed site.

5.1 Fixing of Bench Marks (BMs)


BMs shall be located according to the specification. BMs shall be properly painted with
yellow paint. Reduced Level (RL), TBM Reference Pillar Number etc. information shall be
marked on it with red paint. A proper list of BMs shall be prepared including x,y,z
coordinates of each BM.
TBM reference pillars shall be of size 15cm x 15cmx45 cm cast in RCC (M15) with a nail
fixed in the center of the top surface and embedded in concrete upto a depth of 30 cm
with CC M10 Grade (5 cm all around). The balance 15 cm above ground shall be painted
yellow.
An arrow indicating the location of BM shall be painted with the permanent yellow paint.

5.2 Setting up Instrument on Station


The Senior Survey Engineer shall inspect all instruments to verify that no damage has
occurred in transit. The instrument shall be then set up as follows:

Set up total station over station and measure height of instrument

Start string number (add 1 to previous station or start at 01 for each new day)

The vertical Collimation shall be checked on the First station for each day in the
following manner:

In Face Left sight to a distant well-defined object and record the Vertical circle
reading on the booking sheet.

In face, Right resight the same object and again record the Vertical circle

Add the two readings and subtract 360o.

This difference is Twice the Vertical Collimation Error.

This error should be less than 20 to maintain the required vertical accuracy

Check that the prism constant is correct for the prisms being used for the
Traverse Detail Survey

Place a mark about 120 metres from the station and measure the distance with
the 30-metre tape.

Take a reading to the Prism at this point and ensure the horizontal distance is
within 5 mm of the taped distance.

5.3 Survey Control Points:


The possible alternatives which will form the basis of topographical survey and match
during which the survey will be conducted is stated below.

For Planimetric Control :

The detailed survey is based on a rectangular coordinate system in plan which permits
preparation of highway design and will be used for setting out.
Traverse points are set out and the co ordinates are assigned by GPS (Global Positioning
System) method.
For Height Control:

Topographical sheets show a large amount of Bench Marks of survey of India (based on
MSL) along the existing road. Closed circuit leveling will be conducted from the nearest
authentic Bench mark to the primary station in the site. In absence of any GTS
benchmark confirmation, the value of the datum Bench mark to which the leveling is
related was taken as the elevation value obtained by GPS system at the first GPS pillar
and the same is connected to the TBMs and other reference pillars along the corridor.

If using a Prism pole, the chainman shall make sure that he uses an extra pole to brace
the prism pole whilst taking the readings. The extra pole should be held almost on line
with the Total station to allow the Surveyor to be able to see the bottom of the Prism
pole to set his bearing. Two sets of horizontal angles will be measured in face left and
face right.
All the horizontal angles of offset points are to be measured in face left only.
Survey shall be closed on to a known station on the main traverse everyday

so that

error, if any shall be verified and rectified on the same day. Next days survey shall
proceed only after the readings of the actual x, y, z of the Bench Mark/ Traverse Station
and recorded x, y, z values are checked and verified by the Senior Survey Engineer. If
variation is beyond the permissible limits the survey of that day shall be repeated.
Establishing Horizontal Control:-

Method of establishing a horizontal control are stated as followsThe primary traverse for an intermediate scale map is usually run with a theodolite and a
tape. The traverse system should be suitably selected. The traverse lines are generally
taken along the roads, ridges or valley lines. for the area of limited extent, the traverse
should be run near the perimeter the tract. To minimize the cumulative effect of errors,
it is desirable to arrange a closed traverse of length not exceeding 10 to 15 km & to
divide the tract into roughly equal areas. However, if it is not possible to have a closed
traverse, checks for distance should be applied using the methods discussed for an open
traverse. Checks for azimuth should be applied by astronomical observations. For
extensive area the convergency of meridian should be taken into account while applying
the azimuth check.
If a secondary traverse is required to be established inside the primary traverse, it is
desirable to run the secondary traverse simultaneously with the primary traverse.
However the secondary traverse is usually run separately to establish the instrument
stations from which the details are located. It is advisable to run the secondary traverse,
adjust it first and then locater the details.
The secondary traverse stations are selected with particular regard to the convenience in
locating details. The length of the traverse lines should not be excessive to avoid an
unduly large accumulation of errors.

Secondary traverse are usually run with a theodolite and a tape. Sometimes especially
when accuracy requirements are not rigid, the plane table can be used occasionally a
compass is also used for running the traverse. The lengths of the sides are determined by
means of a tape sometimes; tachometric methods are also used for determining the
lengths.
A closed connecting traverse (fig.) Starts and ends at separate points, whose relative
positions have been determined by a survey of equal or higher order accuracy. An open
traverse

ends at a station whose relative position is not previously known, and

unlike a closed traverse, provides no check against mistakes and large errors. Open
traverses are often used for preliminary survey for a road or railroad.The order of
ACCURACY for any traverse is determined by the equipment and methods used in the
traverse measurements, by the accuracy attained, and by the accuracy of the starting
and terminating stations. Hence, the order of accuracy must be specified before
the measurements are started.

Establishing Vertical Control:-

The vertical control for topographic survey consists of establishing benchmark(B.M) at


suitable places all over the area. The bench marks serve as point of reference for the
leveling operations when locating details. The bench marks are also useful during
subsequent construction work.

NewB.G.Line

Direct differential leveling is commonly used for establishing the bench marks. The
methods of precise leveling are also sometimes used. However for small areas or in rough
country, trigonometric leveling is also used for establishing the bench marks.
A primary level route is first established. A secondary level route is then tied to the
primary route.the secondary level route normally follows the traverse lines,and the
traverse stations can be used as bench marks/ The maximum closing error which is
permitted for primary control is normally between 12 k to 24 k in millimeters,where k
is the length of the circuit in kilometers.

5.4 Taking Detail Survey Readings


The limit of detailed survey will be around 250 metre radius from Location point shown
or taked

for plinth. All natural and man made features such as road, drain, river,

houses, big trees, electrical/telephone/ H.T. lines, railway line, pipelines, tube well,
fencing etc are to be surveyed and shown on the map correctly. For contouring, Total
Station / Automatic Level / Dumpy Level is to be used. In plane surface,spot levels are to
be taken at an interval of 15 metre (in case any \ nullah, pond, low depression etc
coming within the area to be surveyed / spot levels are to be taken in such a way to
represent the above features correctly in the topographical map). All surveyed data are
to be calculated in connection with Survey Section's network and to be plotted in
16"=1mile & 1:600 scale. In case of forest area, maps are to be prepared in 1:500 scale.
For undulating area, contour lines must be shown correctly on the map at a contour
interval of 0.5m. Plotting works are to be done on sectional square paper and tracing
paper also

Coding
Coding for feature shall comprise of four characters. First two characters describing
the feature and last two characters mentioning the string number. The string number
i.e. last two characters shall be alphanumeric starting from 01 to 09, A1 A9, B0
B9.Z0 Z9, AA-AZ, BA-BZ,.., ZA-ZZ. Whenever there is a break in a string, its
number shall be changed.
Break shall be introduced in the left & right edges of shoulder due to culverts,
bridges etc.
While recording information for a particular string number, it should be loaded in the
sequence of joining them i.e. for BG01, BG02, recording of data shall be done either
clockwise / anticlockwise as shown in the sketch below:.

All the surveyed points having the string no. BG01 shall be joined together in the
sequence of recording to draw the first building and all points having code BG02 shall
be joined together to draw the second building i.e. numeric part will indicate the
points to be joined to form the detail and descriptive part indicates the feature. The
survey data shall be thoroughly checked before it is processed through Software.
All the features that are not to be joined (e.g. telephone poles, trees, electricity
poles, spot levels etc.), shall be having their codes in the form p i.e. the point

strings code shall always start with P. No feature shall have its survey code starting
with M, L or G.
Before proceeding to site, surveyor shall consult with Engineer and Expert, regarding
fixing of string code and do the needful as required for the Software.
Normally all heights observed are contourable. If for some unavoidable reasons any
height cannot be observed correctly then this is to be coded differently so that
design engineer can understand that these points are not to be considered for
contouring.

Viii. The Collection of Field Data


The topographic surveys have been carried out using sophisticated and precision
instruments like Total Station, Auto level and Global Positioning System. Elevations
(spot heights) were taken at 5 meter intervals across the entirety of the survey area.
In addition to this extra readings were taken across the earthworks and on any break
or change of slope in the road. This is done so that the earthwork details are
accurately recorded. The built structures were recorded in plan using feature coding.
The water structures were also recorded using digital photography. Boundaries were
recorded using Feature coding. Following points were checked regularly for surveying
purpose:

ix. Data Processing


The co-ordinates and height must be transformed into a local

Projection.

Transformation of this GPS Co Ordinate is carried by Leica Total Station, for better
Accuracy instead of plain chain & triangulation method The data that were collected
by Total Station survey were downloaded & where survey data and feature coding
were checked accurately by senior survey engineer. A contour model was then
interpolated by the software. The survey data are then exported into AutoCAD 2006
for final draughting and presentation. The survey maps have been prepared in scales,
using the engineering design software of Digital Terrain Modelling.

6.0 Detail of surveying & preparation of Drawing:


As a general rule the work necessary under Preliminary or a final location survey will be :
o Staking out of the centre line;
o Levelling along with the centre line, with transverse levels where necessary and cross
sections of important rivers;
o Detailed survey including Survey of a Strip of country 100 meters on each side of the
centre line;
o Survey of rivers requiring a provision of a water way
o Survey of Station sites.

Alignment
In fixing the alignment of railway line, the following points require attention.
o

Position of Curves.-It is preferable to have cuttings and tunnels on straight track but they
may be provided on curves if the cost of having them on the straight is excessive.

Degree of Curvature.-The sharpest degree of curve to be adopted should normally suit


the projected speed corresponding to the category of line proposed. Sharper curves with
speed restrictions may, however, be proposed where the cost of keeping down the
curvature within the normal limit would be excessive.

Transition Curves.- The shape of transition shall be a cubic parabola with a linear. The
length of transitions should correspond to the speed projected of the projected line

BG the length should be worked out on the basis of 185 mm cant. The cant gradient shall
be so chosen that the rate of change of cant/cant deficiency at the maximum
permissible speed does not exceed 55 mm/sec. under any circumstances for BG lines. For

North Western Railway

BPC Consultant India (P) Ltd.


20

NewB.G.Line

the purpose of designing the future layout of the curves, a cant gradient of in 1.200 shall
be aimed at for BG lines.
o The desirable minimum length of straight between reverse curve should be 50 m for BG.
o Gradients - Sags in cuttings should be avoided to the maximum possible extent. If possible
sharp changes of gradient should be avoided on curves.
o Vertical Curves - Vertical curves shall be laid out only on those points of change of grade
where the algebric difference between the grade is equal to or more than 4 MM/Metre.

Figure: Indicative Survey Drawing

Survey for the Provision of Additional Lines. In carrying out the survey for the provision of
additional lines (alongside the existing track) the following points require attention

North Western Railway

BPC Consultant India (P) Ltd.


21

Ajmer(Nasirabad)Sawaimadhopur(ChauthkaBarwara)viaTonk
NewB.G.Line

The projected line should be laid parallel to the existing line as far as possible on the right
hand side or on the left hand side, depending on

(i) Location of telephone and telegraph wires.


(ii) Location of existing station buildings and other goods facilities;
(iii) Construction of new bridges with least interference to traffic on the existing line as far as
possible;
(iv) In sections where there are pronounced directional movements of empty and loaded traffic,
the possibilities of running heavier train loads with multi-engine operations and its effect on the
existing bridge structures should be taken into account.

While determining the alignment for the additional lines, the following points have to be
considered :

(i) Existing bridges should be extended wherever possible with tracks to the same track centres
over the bridge portion as on approaches thereby avoiding reverse curves.
(ii) Adequate vertical clearance for bridges should be provided in terms of the recommendation
of Khosla Committee and that contained in "IRS Code of Practice for the Design of Sub- structure
of Bridges" should be followed, irrespective of whether specified free- board is available or not

NewB.G.Line

Figure: Indicative Plan and Profile

The degree of curvature to be adopted on the new line should suit the projected speed
corresponding to the category of line. At locations where the new alignment is being located
on the outside of existing curves which are sharper than the limiting degree of curvature
compatible with the projected speed of the line, the new line has to be located further away
to avoid infringements, which will involve additional cost unless the existing curves are also
realigned before the construction of new line.

For Major Bridges, cross section should be taken of the river bed at suitable points and the
position marked on the survey plan. The level of the highest known flood or ordinary flood
and of ordinary low water should be noted on each

cross section. The average slope of the river bed is to be determined from a point about 1
Kms above the railway crossing to a point 1 Kms below the same. In case there are sharp
changes in the bed slopes the local bed slope will have to be determined over a shorter
length.
