 1. Summary
1.1 School Location, Site Condition and Local Implication

Figure: Location/site Plan (osm.org)

Figure: Location/Site plan (maps.google.com)

4|Page
Terrain and Topography:

The school lies in hilly region of Sindhupalchwok district. Although soil test was not
conducted, medium soil is estimated from adjacent cut areas.

The school lies on mountainous terrain. Blocks are constructed in flat area.

As per the preliminary assessment and field observation by the team Blocks 2 and 11 need
to be retrofitted, block 10 needs to be repaired and block 3 needs to be demolished. 3-C-7
and 1-T- 5 are going to be constructed under the DRSP Project.

Accessibility:

The accessibility to school is quite difficult, with unsurfaced road to the gate. Vehicle
accesses in all seasons

The school is about 1 KM from Simle which is the nearest market of that locality.

Built up area and Emergency Exit:

There is sufficient open space inside the compound for assembly.

Public Property and Social Issues:

The school is running in its school own and. There are no facilities by trust.

Historical Value:

No existing structure was identified with historical values.

Cultural Implication:

No any traditional settlements has been observed in the locality.

Infrastructure Implication:

Electricity: Available
Internet: none
Because of accessible location, most infrastructure materials can be available.

CONCLUSION: Satisfactory to proceed for further intervention.

1.2.1 School Site Plan

Figure: Site plan from topography survey

1.2.2 Ongoing/Planned Construction

Being Demolished:
Block 3.

Block to be constructed

3-C-7 and 1-T-5 going to be constructed under the DRSP Project.

Other Planned Intervention:

None.
1.2.3 Landslide Potential
None.

1.2.4 Flood Potential

Neither there is no river nearby, nor there chance of inundation. But good pitching of
open space is required for the easy access during monsoon season.

1.2.5 Other Site Hazards

None.

1.3 Building Condition and Proposed Test
Based on the site assessment, following condition are observed. The most likely intervention and
appropriate tests to be carried out are also included. The more detailed explanation are presented in
the later sections for individual structure.

Buildin Structure No of Damage / Defects Most likely Proposed Test

g Type Stories Intervention* (at this stage)
2 RCC 1 No bands, cracks Recommended for X
retrofitting/ add
splint and bands
with repairing
Replace concrete
with BMC
3 Load Bearing 1 No bands, poor Recommended for X
condition demolition of block
10 RCC 2 Minor cracks, no Recommended for X
Bands repairing of block
11 Load Bearing 1 No bands Recommended for X
retrofitting of
block /Add bands
and splint
* The more justifiable intervention will be identified in intermediate assessment report (next part of
the report) with more detailed structural assessment, cost implication and other affecting factors.

1.4 Priority Issues

Based on the site assessment and information available, following things shall be resolved at the
soonest for the smooth progress of the project:

 Approval of the proposed test

 Verify the land ownership of the school and decide if to carryon intervention or not.
