Investigations for SHP

Dr. M.K. Singhal

 INVESTIGATIONS

Investigation Stages

1. Reconnaissance level (preliminary/PFR)

2. Feasibility/Detailed level (pre-investment/DPR)
3. Execution
 DETERMINATION OF HEAD

 By altimeter – very approximate

 By GPS – approximate
 By Engineering level – reasonable
 Theodolite and Total Station – accurate
 Map – very rough
 Water filled tube – crude but accurate
Global Position System
•HANDHELD
• MOUNTED
 METHODOLOGIES FOR HEAD
ESTIMATION
1. USING DETAILED MAPS
Detailed topographic maps are useful for locating potential sites and
for obtaining a rough estimate of head levels.
 Assignment-3
Date of Submission : Sep 2, 2021
Q no 1: Discuss SHP projects in cascade with storage capacities and without
storage capacities
Q no 2: Discuss the difference in various diversion structures provided for
SHP projects (Dam, Balancing reservoir, Barrage and Weir)
Q no 3 : What do you understand with scale of topographical survey sheet
and purpose of contours shown in the survey sheet. What is the usual
scale of Survey of India topo sheets and contour interval taken in
these sheets
Q no 4 : If the length of water conductor system is 4.0 km. what will be
length of this system in survey of India Drawing. If this system is to
be shown in the map of 600 mm, what should be the scale of map
Q no 5: Discuss various methods for determining the head available at SHP
project for power generation
Q no 6: Discuss the purpose of differential GPS
