DETAILED ENGINEERING SURVEY, DESIGN AND COST ESTIMATION OF BHATEDHIKUR TO KHADKA-GAUN ROAD

Abstract

Transportation is important at any place as it helps to uplift the society and economy of the place. Of many modes of transport available, road transport is most widely used in Nepal. The reason for this is general topography of Nepal and economy of the people. Realizing its importance, Government of Nepal has set high priority towards road development. Huge economy has been dedicated to road construction and maintenance. This project aims to design and construct roadway through Bhatedhikur to Khadka-Gaun with the estimation of the project. The work was carried out through topographic survey of the section using open traverse method. Then using DTM software; contour map of the place was created and further design work was carried out in SW Roads-2010. Road design parameters was set by using the guidelines given by NRS2070. Pavement design was carried out using Overseas Roadnote-31 and through the result obtained from CBR test. The main objective of the project work is to achieve the level of knowledge and practical understanding for the construction, design of road and its estimation. This report is an outcome of our hard work and perseverance. Any opinions, suggestions or criticism for the project would be fruitful
