Highway Surveys and Location • Involves for key phases: • Office study of Existing Information • Reconnaissance Survey • Preliminary Location Survey • Final Location Survey Office study of Existing Information • Taken from existing engineering reports, maps, aerial photographs, and charts, which are available from • Transportation: Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) or the Municipal/City Engineer’s Office, Department of Transportation (DOT) • Agriculture: Department of Agriculture (DA) of the Municipal/City Agriculture Office • Geology & Mining: DENR - Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) or Municipal/City Planning Office • Hydrology: Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Bureau of Research and Standards, Hydrology Division. Data: Engineering and Topography Data: Geology, Climate Data: Traffic Volume Reconnaissance Survey • Field of Aerial surveys taking into consideration the following: • Terrain and soil conditions • Serviceability of route to industrial and population areas • Crossing of other transportation facilities, such as rivers, railroads and highways • Directness of route Preliminary Location Survey • Economic Evaluation Environmental Evaluation Final location Survey Sample of Horizontal Alignment Sample of Horizontal Alignment • Splines are used to obtain hand-fitted smooth curve that fits in with the requirements of grade, cross-sections, curvature, and drainage • Usually a trial and error process • Computer-based techniques has significantly enhanced the process.

Highway Earthwork and Final Plans
• It is common practice in earthwork
construction to move suitable materials from cut sections to fill sections to reduce to a minimum the amount of material borrowed from borrow pits. Daily Quiz • Solve for the Mass ordinates for 5
