CHAPTER –I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The field report has been prepared in accordance with the agreement made on 2078/02/14 between
Government of Nepal, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transportation, Department of
Roads, Bridge Branch, Chakupat, Lalitpur and Sakhuwa Engineering Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. For
Feasibility study, Detailed Engineering Survey, Soil Investigation, Hydrological Study and Detailed
Design of Bridges, Contract No.: BB-1123-DSD-076/077-14.
The report describes the design concepts and short descriptions relating to the proposed structure and its
major components e.g. superstructure, pier, foundations, river training/bank protection structures,
approach road etc. It includes tentative location of proposed foundations and arrangement of bridge
components along with comparison between the possible alternatives types.
To assess feasibility of the proposed bridge and find best bridge site;
To carry out the detailed engineering survey including sub-soil exploration to acquire bridge
design parameters and predict construction difficulties;
To carry out the detailed engineering design and prepare engineering drawings of proposed
bridge works and prepare detailed cost estimate(s).
In this regard the purpose of the report is to describe and report the overall condition of the River and
existing Structures. Bridges so that safe facility for the public could be provided. It also suggests on
maintaining and improving the existing condition of the bridge by correcting structural and functional
deficiencies associated with the bridge. The report will address the issues, problems identified and
inspected in the field visit.

Secondary data in the form of relevant past reports, maps were collected and reviewed which includes
SRN Map, topographical Map, District Map, Regional Map, geological of the region, seismic maps and
Google Map of the project area. All other relevant information regarding the bridge site area were
collected and studied. Technical feasible bridge locations were marked on Topographical maps of
1:50000/25000 for field visit and selection of bridge site. Consultation with Bridge Branch was made
prior to the field visit to identify the project area.
Consultant team comprises Project coordinator, Senior Civil Engineer, Senior surveyor and other relevant
support staff has made field visit during 2078-03-20 to 2078-03-25, all the Identified locations been

Conclusion
3.1 General
The desk study of the proposed bridges was conducted and field visit was conducted by design team
members. Selection of bridge site and bridge alignment was carried out in consultation with local people
and stake holders at project area. During field visit preliminary hydrological survey, preliminary
geotechnical survey and preliminary topographical survey was carried out for planning of bridge.
Walkover survey to access the site condition was carried out and the preliminary information on soil
type, river catchments etc ware collected.
Based on the desk study and data information collected during field visit; hydrology, general geology
was conducted to established the field report. It is expected to get early approval of Field work to
schedule the soil exploration as well as to complete the assignment on time.
This report is submitted to the Bridge Project, Department of Roads for perusal and issue a go ahead
letter to the Consultant to take up detail engineering survey, soil investigation and detailed design of the
bridges, at the earliest so that the contract is completed within stipulated time.
