STATES BORDER TO DAMDHOD - NH6, IN GUJARAT STATE ONLY

1. INTRODUCTION
The Package is a part of NH-6 from States Border of Maharashtra & Gujarat to Dhamdhod on SH 187.According to km. stones fixed on NH-6 the length of this package is 76 kms. This is an old existing two line carriage way without median having with different widths of ROW. The present two line will be executed for the proposed four line with service roads on both sides by introducing ROBs, VUPs, UPs and Bye Passes to facilitate the traffic for safe movement. The proposed road passes over Surat - Bhusawal Railway line and River Mindhola and connecting SH#s 171, 5,187,165,88. There are three Bye passes introduced to avoid major towns VYARA, BAJIPURA, & BARDOLI and its total length is about 23 kms. A stretch of 1 km. with 5m width between km. 6 & km. 7 on SH-187 existing road is the match portion of ch. 75+000 to 76+000.

The extent of strip area falls in 46G Degree sheet and it is covered with the spherical values of 21o.00 22o.00 Latitude & 73o.00 74o.00 Longitude. The Topo Sheets on deferent scales & its Geodetic Trigonometry Data are obtained from Survey Of India. Topo Sheets of 46G/4,8,12 &16 on 1:25,000 scale are used to get the ground information such as direction of existing road, crossing details, location of major towns etc.

The alignment of existing road runs from States Border and joins the SH187. The road is directly ascending horizontally from West to East between Bardoli to Navapur. The road crosses the Western Rly. Track and descending towards Arabian Sea. Hence the Datum from MSL has been fixed for Profile grade by connecting DGPS datum to Topo datum obtained from Survey of India Map and later connected to GTS datum. The average difference between DGPS & GTS datum is +0.026 which is negligible for application as scale factor.

2. INITIAL SURVEY (Satellite &Topographical)

The survey is carried out for fixing of NET work. The following methodology is based on angle & distance measurements on horizontal plane and Satellite Geometry. GTS- All ready fixed by Survey Of India with reference to MSL. DGPS DATA - Initially a pair of ground control points are established at every 5 km and these points are connected to the DGPS network to obtain X, Y, Z co-ordinates.

DGPS PROCESS: - Dual frequency Global Positioning System has been developed
to rectify and correct the errors in an ordinary GPS. Since the DGPS hardware at the station already knows its own position, it can easily calculate its receivers inaccuracy. The station then broadcasts a radio signal to all DGPS equipped in the area, providing signal correction information for that area. In general, access to this correction information makes DGPS receivers much more accurate than ordinary receivers. The most essential function of a DGPS receiver to pick up the transmissions of at least four satellites and combined the information in those transmissions with information in an electronic almanac, all in order to figure out the receivers position on Earth. Once receivers make these calculations, it can tell us the Latitude (Northing), Longitude (Easting) and Altitude (Zonal Elevation) of its current Location with reference to True North. This operation is based on a simple mathematical principle called trilateration The pair of DGPS points along the proposed project at every 5 Kms apart are observed from a constellation of Earth-0rbiting satellites and fixed the Base, North Bearing and Graph of the terrain as datum to this project.

TRAVERSE:- (a) By measuring a set of Horizontal angles in deferent quadrants

between two straights. (b) By measuring reciprocal horizontal distance between two points, through establishing the Traverse station at 200 m. interval an Open Traverse line is carried out from a fixed DGPS stations and closed on fixed DGPS stations. Its coordinates (X,Y) are calculated and the mis closure in Easting, Northing distributed to maintain its required accuracy. Depending upon its terrain, atmospheric conditions, vibration due to traffic the traverse accuracy is maintained nearer to1:20,000 to match the network used on feasibility survey. All Traverse points are connected with Double Tertiary Level line to provide relative heights.

FORMULA Delta Easting = Sin North Bearing x Horizontal Distance Delta Northing = Cos North Bearing x Horizontal distance

BASE POINTS: - Apart from the above DGPS points a net work of Base Points
with reference to DGPS are established at every 2 or 3 kms in safe and protected places. These points will be used to maintain the same accuracy and used to re fix the datum whenever it gets disturbed.

DOUBLE TERTIARY LEVEL LINE: Electronic Digital Level, Auto level

instruments are used to find the relative deference in height between two points. The three cross wire readings on Back staff and forward staff are recorded and changing its line of collimation (height of instrument) an other set of readings are observed to cross check the first obtained value and its mean is accepted to derive the delta H. This exercise is carried out between fixed DGPS datum to find out the misclosure in height. Its accuracy is maintained 1:0.025m (under root Kx0.025, where K is length in kms.). The DT heights are transferred to the top of TBM pillars fixed on ROW at 200 m. interval. COMPARISSON & CROSS CHECK: The entire Survey net work ON NH-6 fixed by DGPS is connected to the datum of Geodetic Trigonometry Series of SURVEY OF INDIA for cross check and the algebraic difference is used as conversion factor to change the datum. There is minute difference between DGPS datum (Z) & GTS datum (Z). Hence DGPS datum is recommended to accept for profile design.

Detailed Survey
With reference of Base and Bearing( North) of traverse points a strip of Topographical Survey is carried out to depict the existing details and features such as Center, Bituminous top, shoulder, toe of existing carriage way and the limits of ROW etc.. Also the details of existing utilities, service roads and structures are taken with Total Station in the form of code & coordinates. With built in program all the details are stored directly to the concerned job files created in Total Station. The data is down loaded into a system and transferred to required format to reproduce 3-D drawings with the facility to edit and modify the observed data if require.

An additional survey with extended details is carried out on ROBs, Cross Roads, Toll Plazas and Structures.

Reference line/Proposed Center Line

With reference of Detailed Survey data supplied from site, a reference line is fixed as per the IRC Codes for design of Horizontal alignment by accommodating existing structures, by introducing new structures on bye passes etc. The designed parameters of alignment with Geometric data is up loaded to Total Station and the line of alignment (PCL) laid out at required length on the ground by marking its location.

ORIGINAL GROUND LEVEL

The laid out reference line as 0 on L-section the cross section with specified and prescribed off set distances on original ground; the levels are observed at 10m. interval on straight , 5m. Interval in curve portion and closer off sets at undulating terrain. The RLs of OGLs are observed and calculated from a known station and closed on known station. The mis closure in delta H is adjusted between two stations to fix the cross sectional height.
