Consideration of existing Water Pipe Line:


Clause No. 13 of Schedule B (Page no. 277) states that there is “A major transmission water
pipeline runs parallel to the project road within ROW from Km Km. 5+150 to 9+150 (RHS).
Development of road has been conceptualized without disturbing the stability / relocating
the pipelines. Special safety measures as required to ensure continuous water supply may be
taken during the construction stagQWQWEe. Provision of future maintenance of pipeline is
also to be kept into consideration. Minor shifting of project road centreline, if indispensable
may be
made. “
However, to deal with the existing pipeline, which is in some place goes underground and in
some places, it is exposed over ground need a detailed attention in terms of design and
protection requirement criteria. First, due to the presence of the water pipe line (which is
also coming in RE wall approach section), the alignment needs to shift towards left. In such
places the alignment may go beyond ROW limit at the left side of the road section. Second,
to take care the stability of the pipeline a casing structure in terms of covered box structure,
which itself is going to affect hugely in Quantity. Third, in terms of future maintenance the
casing of the pipe line while going underground need to be so spacious that one can easily
access the pipe line for minor or major maintenance work. The size of the covered structure
will affect in service road FRL. Which will increase due to the underground cased box
structure, affecting also in quantity.

2. Raising of Profile at Pond Location:


In few cases where there is a presence of pond locations, the FRL of designed alignment has
been raised to cater the HFL criteria for the safety of the pavement subgrade. A total of 2.5
m has been raised from the existing road level. By raising the profile at those selective
locations and maintaining the minimum vertical slope criteria for drainage, profile has been
modified. But due to the raising the earthwork quantity has been increased along with
Retaining wall and Toe wall to restrict the slope of the earthwork within the ROW limit.
Those raising can also be optimize by assessing actual HFL at the particular location and the
raising the profile accordingly.

3. Providing Sand filling in Marshy area:


Locations along the project corridor where water logged area has been observed, a sand
layer of 500 mm has been placed as a layer to densify the area. As those areas are prone to
settlement, laying of sand layer has been indicated. However, the total length of such
sections has been considered as 4.5 Km. in BOQ, which also includes areas near pond
location. But that can be optimized by eliminating the pond locations and only retaining the
waterlogged areas along the project stretch.
