6. SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The following procedure will be followed for carrying out the survey works.

6.1 Instruments
All instruments will be checked at site once a month and be calibrated in Six Month if required. Each
individual instrument will be accompanied with a Check Record Sheet.
The Contractor will establish a Control and Calibration Station where the instruments will be checked and
calibrated. Any instrument damaged or out of range for calibration will be taken out of production and repaired by
authorized personnel.
• The Chief Surveyor is responsible for the check and calibration procedures.

6.2 Control Points and Bench Marks

• Start up
Before commencement of any construction work, the Triangulation Points provided by the Client will be
checked and the co-ordinates will be 'finalized with the Client. The Surveyor will establish Master Control
Points (1000x1000x1000mm) on every station (minimum 04 Nos.), Control Points and Bench Marks
(400x400x400mm) along the alignment, based on the final Control Coordinates. The Surveyor will establish
reference pillar (150x150x150mm) on one side of Guide Wall in suitable distance.
 • Measurements: Control Points
L-5, L-6, M-10, M-9, M-8 & M-7 Control points. will be established with start from L-5, L-6 and closure to M-
9, M-8 & M-7.
• Documentation
The Chief Surveyor will prepare and update the co-ordinates of Control Points and Bench Marks showing
coordinates. responsibilities and dates of establishment. The checking of the reference points will be done
every month or when required. The Client will be informed in writing of significant discrepancy in values. In
the event that a change is required to the previously accepted co-ordinates, the Surveyor will establish the
new values and record the details will be sent for the Client's approval. Control Points and Bench Marks will
be uniquely numbered both at site and in documentation.

• Input Data
Survey data will be read out from approved and valid drawings specifications or other documents approved
by the Client. The Surveyor will keep his drawings updated and well organized. Dimensions and
measurements given on drawings will be checked by the Surveyor and if there is some indistinctness. it will
be clarified before he uses the drawings for survey works. The Chief Surveyor is responsible for the
correctness of survey reference data stored into the Total Station memory. The reference data will be
downloaded to the Instrument by computer.

6.3 Instrument Software

• Main Labels: Station Establishment Angle measuring Set Out Ref Line Obstructed Point Road Line Road
Line3D Measure Coordinates
COGO (Calculation program) UDS User Defined Sequences for registration These programs solve most of the
Surveyors calculations and survey works.

6.4 Survey Documentation

Record sheet will be prepared by the Surveyor for all his survey work. Record sheets will carry the
following information as applicable:
• Work description
• Date of survey work
• Name of surveyor responsible
• Referenced drawing numbers
• Referenced survey stations
• A Statement of intent to submit survey data of as built structures as per MMRDA Surveyor requirement.

6.5 Fieldwork

Fieldwork will be carried out complying with the specified tolerances. Corner pegs, axis, and offset lines
will be identified in the field to enable construction monitoring. Specified tolerances shall be as per the Quality
Assurance Management Plan. This plan shall identify control, check and verify the accuracy. The Chief Surveyor
and Surveyor with the co-operation of the Construction staff will ensure that all stations, MP & HP Pillars, pegs,
profiles, rails, marks, etc., are protected. The markings will be regularly inspected for damage and displacement.
The markings shall be re-set out if found displaced. The Chief Surveyor will ensure that all surveying and setting
out records are identifiable and rectified if required and kept at the site office. All records will clearly identify the
works that has been carried out.

6.6 Setting Out

The Surveyor should fully understand the functions of his instrument and the software accompanied with
the instrument. Offset points to a clothoid will be set out perpendicular to the tangent bearing at respective
chainage. If a side line is not specified by clothoid parameters, the perpendicular offset will be used to set out this
line. Help Points (HP) based on the Control Point system, will be transferred to the underground passage, by
using optical plumb instruments, acc. 1 mm/30m.These help points will be used to transfer and set out alignments
and other co-ordinate points to underground. A final location survey shall be carried out defining location,
chainage, grid system and geometry of main elements and features of Up and Down alignment.

6.7 Checking
Before start of construction, set out markings will be checked by using station points (CP l HP) different
from the ones used for the initial setting out. Alternatively, the control can be performed as a relation-check, which
means checking distances, levels and dimensions from the set out markings to adjoining existing constructions.
The Surveyor wills constantly overview his set out markings and ensures the construction staff is carrying out the
work as per the set out markings. The Surveyor will have the specified tolerances, so that the survey work is
carried out complying with the specified tolerances.

6.8 Output
The Surveyor will ensure that output information in the form of profiles, pegs, nails, pins and lines is
adequately marked, referenced and projected, and advise the Construction staff, responsible for the work, to
identify the marker and its information.

6.9 Finished Construction

Finished Construction work will be surveyed as specified by Control Plan and as per the requirements for
submitting the As-built drawings.

6.10 Method of Traverse Procedure:

The method of Traverse Procedure is closed or Loop Traverse. A closed Traverse starts from one
Traverse station and closed either on the same station or another station whose location is already known. The
traverse starts from the station A (L-6) and closes on the same station. It forms a dosed traverse. This type of
closed traverse is known as a loop traverse. The traverse starts from the station A (L-6) whose location is already
known or established, and closes at the station X (M-7) whose location is also known or established this type of
closed traverse is called a link traverse or connecting traverse. Total station Traverse: -In a Total station traverse,
the angles, Distance, Beating, Coordinates or distance are measured with Total station. This is the most accurate
method of traversing, and is generally used for providing a horizontal control. The man power required for
conducting a Total station Traverse will include an Instrument man, one leader and two followers one for Back
sight and one for Fore sight with sufficient man power. The equipment required for conducting a Total station
traverse will include a Total station (With all standard Accessories) Two Tribrach For Back sight and Fore sight,
Two Prism, Three steel Tape (5m), Three tripods, Markers, Paint, Nail, Punch and Hammer.

7. SAFETY
• Risk Assessment report attached as attachment 3 shall be used.
• Survey team shall wear helmets, Safety shoe etc. while working on site.
