2.1.11.1 TADOBA NATIONAL PARK

Notably Maharashtra's oldest and largest National Park, the "Tadoba National Park",
also known as the "Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve" is one of India's 47 project tiger
reserves existing in India. It lies in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra state and is
approximately 150 km from Nagpur city. The total area of the tiger reserve is 1,727
Sq.km, which includes the Tadoba National Park, created in the year 1955. The
Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary was formed in the year 1986 and was amalgamated with
the park in 1995 to establish the present Tadoba Andheri Tiger Reserve. The word
'Tadoba' is derived from the name of God "Tadoba" or "Taru," which is praised by
local tribal people of this region and "Andhari" is derived from the name of Andhari
river that flows in this area. According to the 2010 National Census on Tigers, there
are about 43 tigers in the reserve, which is one of the highest in India. Here are some
highlights of the park.
P a g e 15 | 71
The park is open for visitors from 15th October to 30th June every season and remains
full-day closed on every Tuesday.
The vegetation of Tadoba forest is of Southern tropical dry deciduous type and is spread
on around 626 sq.km.
Teak is the prominent tree species in the forest and there are a few lakes, which makes
sure the park has rich water resources.
Major part of this forest lies in the hilly area; thus, many hillocks and terrains provide
shelter to the wild animals here.
It has a dense forest area, smooth meadows, deep valleys, and a great atmosphere to
stabilize more numbers of tigers.
The main attraction of the Tadoba National Park is Jungle or Tiger Safari in an open top
gypsy.
There is good chance to spot the shy Sloth Bear and Wild Dogs.
One can find some of the Central India’s best native woodland bird species in this forest.
Accommodation facilities are available and are mainly concentrated among two of its
popular entrance gates i.e., Kolara Gate and Mohurli Gate.
The Tadoba National Park is divided into three separate forest ranges, i.e. Tadoba
north range, Kolsa south range, and Morhurli range, which is sandwiched in between
the first two. There are two lakes and one river in the park, which gets filled every
monsoon, the ‘Tadoba Lake,’ ‘Kolsa Lake,’ and ‘Tadoba River.’ These lakes and rivers
provide vital ingredients needed to sustain the park’s life.
The Tadoba Tiger Reserve is rich in flora and fauna. Some of the famous and wildly
seen flora of this park include, Teak, Ain, Bija, Dhauda, Hald, Salai, Semal, Tendu,
Beheda, Hirda, Karaya gum, Mahua Madhuca, Arjun, Bamboo, Bheria, Black Plum,
and many others. Apart from this the list of animals noted in this part include, Tigers,
P a g e 16 | 71
Indian leopards, Sloth bears, Gaur, Nilgai, Dhole, Striped Hyena, Small Indian Civet,
Jungle Cats, Sambar, Spotted Deer, Barking Deer, Chital, Marsh Crocodile, Indian
Python, Indian Cobra, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Crested Serpent Eagle, Peacock,
Jewel Beetles, Wolf Spiders, etc.

7 DESIGN STANDARDS AND PROPOSED CROSS SECTIONS
7.1 General
Highway designing is the process wherein the layout of the road in specific terrain is designed
to meet the needs of the road users. Designing is carried out keeping in view the following
aspects:
1. Road function
2. Type and volume of traffic,
3. Potential traffic hazards and safety,
4. Capital cost,
5. Maintenance costs,
6. Vehicle operating costs,
7. Environment impacts,
8. Aesthetics, and
9. Road users’ comfort.
The principal geometric features for fulfilment of these objectives are road classification, the
horizontal alignment, vertical profile, road cross-section, road furniture’s etc.
7.2 Acceptable Standards

The design of the project road will be planned according to the specifications and standards
provided in the latest version of respective codes in the following order of priority as specified
in the following manual:
Manual for Specifications and Standards for Two Lanning of National Highways through
Public Private Partnership.
Hill Road Manual.
Order of priority of various codes are as follows:
1. Technical Circulars issued by MOSRTH
2. Specifications for Road & Bridge Works
P a g e 33 | 71
3. Indian Roads Congress (IRC) Codes and Standards
4. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
Where the above standards are not adequate, international standards and specifications will
be followed. The various codes that will be referred during the various stages of the project
are listed in Appendix 2.
7.3 Design Standards - Roads

The design standards for various components of a national highway are grouped into the
various categories mentioned hereinafter. The standards adopted are based on IRC,
MoRT&H and other internationally accepted design codes/ practices.
7.3.1 Cross-Sectional Elements

The design of cross-section of the 2-lane highway will be carried out in accordance to the
“Manual of Specifications and Standard Two Lanning of National Highways through Public
Private Partnership” published by the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways.
Proposed Typical cross sections for the Project Road are as follows:
P a g e 34 | 71
7.3.2 Horizontal Geometry
In road alignment, changes in direction are often necessary due to many restrictions.
Restrictions may be imposed by topography, environment, roadway width, ecological qualities
of areas, monuments, places of worship, sites of structures and other considerations. For
convenient, safe and pleasant travel on road, changes in directions have to be accomplished
by introducing horizontal curves and transition curves in the alignment.
Design speed, super elevation and coefficient of lateral friction affect the design of circular
curves. Length of transition curve is determined on the basis of rate of change of centrifugal
acceleration or the rate of change of super elevation.
7.3.3 Camber/Cross Fall

Camber/cross fall shall be provided for main carriageway including paved shoulders in
accordance with stipulations of IRC:73-1980. The camber/cross fall values recommended on
straight sections of roads for bituminous surfacing in IRC:73-1980 clause 6.7.1 is 2.0 to 2.5
percent. For two lane single carriageways, opposite camber shall be provided for each lane
with central crown. The cross fall for paved shoulder shall be same as that of the main
carriageway.
The cross fall for earthen shoulder in straight sections shall be 0.5% steeper than that of the
carriageway subject to a minimum of 3.0%. On curves, the shoulder on the high side of
superelevated portion shall be provided with reverse slope from the superelevated
carriageway portion. As per clause 4.2.5 of the manual, the rate of change between
pavement cross slope and outside shoulder shall not exceed 5%.
7.3.4 Super elevation

Super elevation shall be provided on curves as per IRC: 73-1980 “Geometric Design
Standards for Rural (Non-Urban) Highways” clause 9.3. The super elevation corresponding to
the design speed and radius of horizontal curve will be adopted.
7.3.5 Transition Curves

When a vehicle travels from the straight to a curve of finite radius, it is suddenly subjected to
an outward centrifugal force. This causes a shock and sway to the passenger and the driver.
In practice, the driver on or before entering a curve will turn the steering gradually for his own
comfort and security. This gradual turning of the steering is facilitated by “transition” between
straight and a curve. The design of transition curves shall be carried out as per the guidelines
provided in IRC: 73-1980 clause 9.5.
P a g e 35 | 71
Spiral curve is used for transitions. These are necessary for smooth entry of vehicles from a
straight section into a circular curve. The transition curves also improve aesthetic appearance
of the road, besides permitting gradual application of the super elevation to counteract
centrifugal force and extra widening at curves. Minimum length of transition curves specified
in IRC: 73-1980 for various design speeds and various radius of horizontal curves is
presented in Table - 7.1.

7.3.6 Vertical Profile
The vertical profile is provided for a smooth longitudinal profile consistent with category of the
road and lay of the terrain. Too frequent grade changes shall be avoided to reduce kinks and
visual discontinuities in the profile. The vertical profile of the existing road shall be improved
as per the recommendations in IRC:SP:23-1983 “Vertical Curves for Highways”.
7.3.7 Drainage System

The design of drainage system such as surface and sub-surface drainage for pavement,

A detailed Road Inventory Survey will be carried out by the Survey Team for the entire length
of the project road. In this, detailed observations and measurement for all physical and
natural elements of the Highway will be noted. The major categories listed in the road
inventory include the cross road, terrain classification, cross drainage structures including
bridges, intersections, Railway crossings, presence of irrigation tanks and other utility services
located all along the road. The information collected will be used by the design and
engineering staff for assessing the type and location of improvements needed for
strengthening and widening of the road. Also, the survey will verify and validate the details
indicated in the as-built drawings with the physical presence. Road inventory survey have
been completed by the time of writing this report.
11.4 Pavement Condition Survey

The present condition survey will be carried out by visual observations supplemented with
simple measurements using tape, straight edge etc. The data collected will include the
following:
a. Cracking
b. Raveling
c. Pot Holes
d. Patch Works
e. Rutting
The road length will be divided into 50m sections and data will be recorded for each section.
11.5 Pavement Deflection Measurement

The present condition of the project road will be assessed based on the pavement deflection
measured using Benkelman Beam Deflection Survey. This method is based on the concept
P a g e 50 | 71
that performance of a flexible pavement is related to the elastic deflection under wheel loads.
To determine the strengthening requirement the following data will be collected:
• The characteristics deflection of the pavement under a standard wheel load (8160
kg.) fitted with dual tyre inflated to a pressure of 5.60 kg/cm2
• Information regarding the type and moisture content of the sub grade soil
• Air and pavement temperature.
The tests shall be conducted in a staggered way along the rear outer wheel path. Rebound
deflections will be measured using CGRA method. The measured deflection readings will be
corrected for seasonal variations depending on the type of sub grade soil and field moisture
content. Temperature corrections will be made to get the characteristic deflection of the
existing pavement.
11.6 Pavement Roughness

The Roughness Survey will be carried out using the fifth wheel Bump Integrator. The
roughness values are recorded in mm per kilometre. Three runs will be made along each
wheel path in each direction.
11.7 Bridge Condition Survey

Visual examinations of the existing bridges and culverts will be carried out using conventional
standard tools recommended for the assessment of the condition of the structure as per
IRC:SP:35-1990. Signs of various distresses in bridges and its components such as cracks,
exposure of reinforcement, rust stains, corrosion, condition of expansion joints, bearings etc
will be noted.
11.8 Geotechnical Surveys

Geotechnical surveys will be carried out to establish subsoil parameters as necessary for the
design of foundation. Geotechnical investigation will be carried out at all important structure
location as per the requirement of TOR.
11.9 Material Survey

The objective of material investigations is to find out the reliable source for road construction
materials such as, soils/earth/gravel/moorum near and along the alignment of the project road.
Also source of aggregates and sand for the construction of pavement and Bridges and CD
works will be determined. The name, address and contact numbers of different quarry owners
P a g e 51 | 71
with adequate yields of materials for this project along with prevailing market rates will be
collected. Approximated lead for transport of materials will also be determined during material
survey.
• The materials like sand, gravel, moorum, stone etc., should be available at
minimum possible lead.
• The quarries selected should be of an acceptable quality and reasonable rates.

The suppliers supplying the material should be consistent with reference to time
and quality of the material.
Keeping the above points in view the material survey will be conducted considering the
feasibility of the material availability, ease of transportation, quality and cost of the material
11.10 Traffic Survey

The traffic surveys and analysis are a very critical aspect in the preparation of feasibility report
as the need and type of improvements is always dependent on the traffic flow characteristics.
Underlying aim of the entire assignment to provide an accurate assessment of the existing
traffic flow characteristics and the future traffic levels based on the anticipated traffic growth
and quantum of diverted traffic, if any. The details of traffic analysis would include existing
scenario in terms of traffic flow, travel characteristics, speed profile, delay/congestion etc.
Estimation of future traffic will be done based on various economic parameters, which would
further determine the improvement options.
The initial task of identifying the homogeneous traffic links shall be undertaken on the
identified road sections. The scope of traffic studies in this project will be established based
on the results of the review of available traffic data. Homogeneous traffic links will be
established through identification of the major intersections and urban centres. On the basis
of these and the characteristics of the road sections, the locations for conducting traffic
surveys under this project will be established. The fixation of locations will be made for traffic
volume surveys, both at mid sections and intersections. However, the locations will be
finalized with due consultation with PWD officials
11.10.1 Classified Traffic Volume Count

Classified traffic counts will be carried out for 24 hours for 7 days on a normal working day
and a non-working day for the project road. The data will be recorded direction-wise at
intervals of 15 minutes. The format for data collection is given in Appendix 4. Enumerators
will be recruited and trained before employing them on a shift basis for carrying out the
P a g e 52 | 71
counts. One supervisor will be employed at each count locations. Traffic Engineer will
carryout random check counts to ensure the quality of data collection. The data collected will
be summarized and analysed to arrive at the ADT, hourly variation and directional variation.
The various class of vehicles counted will be as per relevant IRC code and the same is
specified in Table - 11.1.
Table - 11.1 :Classification of Vehicles

Motorised Traffic Non-Motorised Traffic
Two-Wheeler Bi-Cycle
Three-Wheeler Cycle-Rickshaw
Tractor Animal Drawn Vehicle
Ambulances, fire tenders and funeral vans Hand Cart
Cars Non-Motorised Vehicle
Light Commercial Vehicles
Bus/Truck/Road Roller
Heavy Truck (3 to 6 axles)
Oversized Vehicles (more than 7 axles)
11.10.2 Origin, Destination & Commodity Movement Survey

The OD and Commodity Movement Surveys will be conducted for 1 day (24 hours, both
directions) at locations finalised in consultation with PWD officials. The survey will be carried
out using roadside interview technique on a random sample basis and will cover the maximum
number of four wheelers.
The location of origin and destination zones will be determined in relation to each individual
station and the possibility of traffic diversion to the Project Road from/to other road routes
including bypasses. The trip matrices will be worked out for each vehicle type information
giving due weightage for trucks. Trucks will be summed up by commodity type and the results
will be tabulated to give total weight and average weight per truck for the various commodity
P a g e 53 | 71
types. The sample size for each vehicle type will be indicated in a table format and the same
shall be represented graphically.
The data derived from surveys will also be analysed to bring out the lead and load
characteristics and desire line diagrams. The distribution of lead and load obtained from the
surveys will be compared with those derived from the axle load studies. The commodity
movement data will be duly taken into consideration while making the traffic demand
estimates.
11.10.3 Intersection Traffic Volume Count

Turning movements of vehicles will be recorded at major intersections for 24hours on a single
day, so that the morning and evening peak hour traffic are well taken care-of. The survey will
be conducted on a normal working day. These surveys would provide the information
required on turning movement characteristics at these locations required for detailed junction
design. The form to be used for the study of intersection turning movement is given in
Appendix 4.
11.10.4 Speed and Delay Survey

A moving car survey will be carried out on the project road to assess the running speed and
the journey speed of the road, as it is the aim to maintain a desirable journey speed on urban
road. The survey team will move along the sections up and down, noting down the required
information such as frictional delays noticed due to road congestion etc. and fixed delays at
intersections. The data collected will then be analysed to estimate the running speed and the
journey speed. The form to be used is given in Appendix 4.
11.10.5 Secondary Data Collection

The vehicle registration data from the local RTO offices will be collected to assess the growth
in the vehicle population and road accidents data will be collected from respective police
stations along the roads for identification of black spots and safety measures to be taken. The
historic traffic data at the regular count stations available with local PWD/other agencies will
be collected for the project road.
11.11 Axle Load Survey

The intensity of traffic loading is an important parameter for the design of pavement. Axle
Load Survey will be carried out to determine the load pattern and the trend of overloading.
Weights of individual axles of different class of commercial vehicles will be recorded and used
P a g e 54 | 71
to determine VDF. This survey will be carried out at two locations in both directions for one
day (16 hours).
P a g e 55 | 71
12 Analysis & Preliminary Design
Based on the data obtained from various surveys and investigations, analysis is to be done to
carry out preliminary designs. Some of the preliminary designs will consist of the following:
• Alignment and profile design of 2 lane highway
• Preliminary pavement design
• Junction improvement for uninterrupted Traffic movement for highway users
• Preliminary drainage design
• Preliminary design of structures
• Scheme and preliminary design of widening of bridges
• Signs/ markings/ Other safety aspects
12.1 Geometric Design

Attempt will be made to follow the geometry of the existing project corridor with necessary
improvements incompliance with 2 lane manual. However, geometric improvement shall be
considered from safety consideration. Geometric design shall cover the following:
1. Horizontal alignment
2. Vertical Profile
3. Cross-sections
4. Junctions and interchanges
12.2 Traffic Analysis

Traffic analysis will be carried using the data collected from various traffic surveys for further
designs.
12.2.1 Traffic Volume Characteristics

The traffic volume data will be compiled and processed in order to establish the link volumes
in the base year. The daily and hourly fluctuations in the traffic flow will be examined, the
peak hour factor will be determined and the volume capacity ratios at disaggregated links will
be calculated (once the capacity of the different links of project road is estimated considering
the pavement width and speed flow relationships). At this stage the road sections, which are
in distress from traffic point of view, will be distinctly identified. Subsequently, the Uniformity
P a g e 56 | 71
in Capacity Utilisation of the Road Sections will be studied and an estimation of the time-
based users versus non-time based users and the local traffic versus the through traffic is
proposed. All these findings will collectively contribute to the understanding of the existing
problems on the project corridor at a micro level and pave the way for suggesting
development measures related to geometric improvements and development of other road
infrastructures like ROB, Interchanges etc. However, in order to establish the base year link
traffic volume in terms of ADT, the seasonal correction factor needs to be applied to the traffic
volume data in order to arrive at the AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic) of base line traffic
figures.
12.2.2 Forecasting Socio-Economic Base

We believe the economic growth in the region will have a major impact on the proposed
facility. The impact is expected to be because of growth in local demand, development of
industrial centres, and tourist centres. For this purpose, the studies carried out/reports
prepared by various Governmental/Non-Governmental agencies will be reviewed in order to
get a realistic assessment of impact of town growth on travel demands in the context of
present study.
It further proposes to review the impact of plans, programmes and schemes with focus being
primarily on appreciation of implications of envisaged development scenario on proposed
project facility and on operation of activities proposed in the region along the corridor. The
review will have prime focus on their impact on travel demand levels on corridor. In addition,
we also propose to appreciate the phasing, expected level and time of operation of these
projects and consequent traffic generation levels.
12.2.3 Volume Capacity Analysis

Under this component, volume capacity ratios for different links of the entire network at
various time intervals in order to estimate the falls in Level of Service (LOS) and the degree of
such reduction in travel quality will be determined.
12.3 Pavement Design

The project demands design for pavement for the following conditions:
1. Strengthening of the existing carriageway.
2. Widening of existing pavement.
3. New construction of realignment portion.
P a g e 57 | 71
To design, the thickness of overlay required for strengthening the existing pavement,
structural evaluation of the existing pavement will be carried out. The structural evaluation of
the pavement will be conducted using Benkelman beam deflection technique. For the design
of new pavement and pavement for widening portion, strength of subgrade is determined
along with the traffic loading characteristics.
12.4 Drainage Design

The most important function of drainage design is to make necessary provision to protect the
road from surface water and ground water. If water is allowed to percolate into the surface of
the road, the pavement materials will lose bondage and will be more susceptible to damage.
Water can enter the road as a result of rain penetrating from the surface or as a result of the
infiltration of ground water. The road surface will be constructed with sufficient camber or
cross fall to drain the rain water quickly to the side drains and the formation of the road will be
raised above the level of the local water table to prevent infiltration of ground water. The
water from the side drains will be effectively drained by designing the side drains and further
discharged to the natural Nallah by providing proper cross drainage structures.
12.5 Design of Structures

General Arrangement Drawings (GAD) will be prepared for the structures identified for
improvement. GAD will not be based on actual preliminary structural designs of the structures
but will be prepared based on the extensive data base available with the consultants and
engineering judgment. GAD will be prepared at the time of feasibility report based on the
preliminary road designs for the purpose of levels and alignments.
Emphasis will be given on standardisation of structural components for ensuring economy of

design and construction. Special attention will be given to aesthetics of the structures while
preparing GAD. The design will be as per the provisions laid out in various IRC and IS Codes.
12.6 Cost Estimate

The cost estimates shall be prepared based on quantities worked out for different items on the
basis of preliminary design and general arrangement drawings. The analysis of rates for
calculating the unit rates shall be carried out based on Standard Data Book of MORT&H. The
assistance of Standard Schedule of rates (SSR) of PWD and other local authorities shall also
be taken into consideration wherever required. The basic rates shall be the market rates in
the year of the project. The construction cost shall be arrived at using the computed
quantities and the unit rates for each item of work, kilometre wise.
P a g e 58 | 71
13 ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL IMPACT
13.1 Environmental Analysis
The Consultants are of the opinion that the environmental evaluation of any project cannot be
reduced to the completion of a Leopold Matrix. One reason is that fundamental weakness of
matrices to accommodate secondary effects or the relative importance of different effects
which may be short or long term, local or regional, reversible or permanent in character.
The Consultants would evaluate the performance of the proposed highway against a series of
objectives or standards. The early part of the assessment program would seek to determine
an agreed set of performance standards for various environmental attributes. It is likely,
however, that it will not be until the characteristics of the environmental consequence of the
highway have been determined that evaluation techniques can be applied. It is expected that
trade-off analysis will be necessary.
• The output will be assessment of the environmental Impact.
• Mitigation measures and management plan and
• Preparation of suitable and cost-effective ameliorative measures
• As noted earlier, mitigation measures are only necessary when unavoidable and
unacceptable residual environmental effects keep following the close coordination
or environmental and engineering factors in the highway design process which is a
hallmark of our approach. Various solutions to the residual environmental effects
may be available. The solutions may also differ in their expected degree of
success and financial implications.
• It is recognized that the Environmental Impact Statement seeks to communicate its

findings to several audiences, not just the decision makers. Consequently, the
preparation of a non-technical summary for wide circulation and exhibitions will be
aspects requiring discussion with various agencies including the client public
bodies, social organisation and other departments concerned with environments.
The output will be the final environmental impact report.
13.2 Socio-Economic Study

The socio-economic study for the project will broadly comprise of the following aspects.
P a g e 59 | 71
13.2.1 Socio-Economic Profile
The widening of road/construction of new road for changes in existing alignment or for
bypasses require acquisition of land and removal of encroachments etc., which may in turn
involve losing agricultural land, getting displaced and losing access to present income earning
activities. The data on demography, economic activity, social infrastructure, transportation
system, accident statistics etc., would be ascertained and supplemented by primary surveys.
A descriptive and quantified socio-economic profile for the road influence area will be
prepared.
13.2.2 Socio-Economic Survey of PAP

A socio-economic survey of directly affected households as well as those affected indirectly
will be conducted. For this purpose, Project Affected Persons (PAPs) will be visited by
experienced survey enumerators to obtain the following information:
• Socio-demographic characteristics
• Movable & immovable assets mortgaged
• Occupational structure and income from all source
• Present debts, if any
• Present settlement and resettlement preferences
• Map of area of project influence
Analysis of data gathered during the baseline survey will lead to identifying the magnitude of
impacts both in social and economic terms for the different types of PAPs. It will also indicate
the type of entitlements that need to be given to PAPs – resettlement, monetary compensation
or livelihood restoration.
