SURVEY AND INVESTIGATIONS
Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of hydro power projects prepared by all concerned utilities
are submitted to CEA for techno-economic approval. These are also examined by the Central
Water Commission (CWC) for hydrology design, safety and cost estimates of civil structure
aspects.
DPRs need to get clearance from the Central Soil and Material Research Station (CSMRS) from
construction material aspects and the Geological Survey of India (GSI) from geological
aspects.
Survey and Investigation of hydropower projects constitute a four stage programme viz. (i)
Pre-feasibility State, (ii) Feasibility Stage, (iii) Detailed Investigation(DPR) Stage and (iv)
Construction Stage.
VARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF SURVEY &
INVESTIGATION (S&I)
a)River surveys
b)Reservoir surveys
c)Head works surveys (dams, barrage, weir, etc)
d) Plant sites and colonies
e)Canal, branch canals, and water conductor system
f)Major canal structures
g)Power house, switch yard, surge shaft, tail race tunnel(s), adits, penstocks etc
Surveys for command area including Ground Confirmation Survey
j)Soil surveys
k)Soil conservation
l)Construction material surveys.
m)Any other i.e. Archeological, Right of way, communication etc.
VARIOUS SURVEYS
Topographical Survey:
The Survey of India (SOI) has published topographical maps covering the whole country in 1:2,50,000
and 1:50,000 scale. Besides SOI has also published topographical maps of many parts of the
countryin1:25,000 scale and they are already on the job of producing maps in1:25,000 scale for the
whole country.
Feasibility Stage
After selecting the site during Pre-feasibility stage, intensive fieldtraverses are under taken. Detailed
survey like contour plans and sectionsin 1: 1 000 to 1 :5000 scale are prepared for various important
structuressuch as dam, tunnels, powerhouse, etc. One or two alternate axis areprobed by detailed
geophysical survey and a few drill holes to ascertaindepth and quality of bed rock besides carrying
out broad geologicalmapping & collection of regional geological information.
