CERTIFICATE

Certified that the water way and depth of foundation have been checked as per latest guidelines of RDSO
and found safe for up line D/S side. Available free board is more than the required free board and the vent
provided is more than the required. Hence the bridge is safe for passing Q 50 discharge.

And also certified that the catchment area, longest stream length, level of origin of stream,bed slope,bed
level etc are verified from field survey & found correct.
