Detailed Engineering Survey, Design and Cost Estimation of Changu Phedi to Khadka Dil Road

Abstract

Road transport is the primary means of transportation in Nepal. It promotes socio-economic development of a nation and other various development works won�t be possible without it. Relating the importance of road transport, Government of Nepal launches various road project for movement of people and goods and their connectivity and expenses a lot of economy in road development sector of the country. Our road project aims to design and construct district road in Changunarayan which starts from Changu Phedi to Khadka Dil, which is approximately around 2137.113 m and its overall cost estimation using SW Road V2 software. The work was carried out through topographic survey of the section using open traverse method by total Station. Then using by SW Roads V2 software contour map of the place was created. Pavement is designed by road note 31 catalogues after conducting CBR test of sub grade soil of seven different sample. For the design of district road, we follow Nepal Road Standard 2070 and for quantity and cost estimation we use DOR guideline and district rate. The aim of final project work is to achieve the level of knowledge and practical understanding how to construct and design road and its overall cost estimation. This report is an outcome of hard work and perseverance. Any opinions, suggestions or criticism to the project would be fruitful.
