Proposed bridge for crossing over
5 (River / Railway tracks / Road /
Viadcut)
6 Name of the crossing
Approximate width of crossing (Bank
7
to bank distance (m)
Whether crossing is in skew /
8
perpendicular
For River corssing:

hydrological and hydraulic parameters

for estimating the width and height of
crossing (Discharge, HFL, etc)
i If any gauging station is available near
by, flood records and discharge history
may be collected from the same.
HFL from records / local enquiry

Details of Rail Road bridge on Up

stream / Down stream of present
crossing and distance from present
ii
corssing (Width of Bridge, span
arrangement and type of
Superstructure)

River training & Protection works

requirement (including Guidbunds
requirement)
iii - Study if any high banks are available
on the sides of river flow and enquire
whether during peak floods, the river
spills over the banks

Geological conditions & Geo-

Technical parameters. Check Whether
the river bed is in steep / gentle slope
iv
at the proposed crossing and
onupstream ( to estimate the velocity
of flow and scour)

Any Navigational requirements &

v
clearances required

Whether the bridge Superstructure is

vi likely to carry any additional facilities
(Road traffic / Oil pipe lines, etc.,)

 Check List for Important Bridges

Whether any other crossings need to

be / can be combined with proposed
vii bridge (road crossings in the vicinity of
river, etc., and horizontal and
clearances required for the same

Approx. c/c of tracks required in

approaches of bridge (Check whether
viii superstructure can be combined for
both tracks and cost of approaches
can be reduced

Sufficient number of Photographs to

ix be taken at the proposed crossing &
in the vicinity
Whether the proposed bridge structure
infringes / joins with any adjacent
x
exiting bridge. If so, details of exiting
bridge need to be collected
Tentatively proposed span
xi configuration, type of Superstructure
and foundation, based on site visit
xii Seismic Zone location
