•Principles of positive drainage and grading for drainage.
AR8322 – SITE SURVEYING & PLANNING

•Location and design of sewage treatment plants. Methods to control soil erosion.
•Location of utility lines to simplify maintenance.
•Planning for rain water harvesting. Incorporation of services such as drinking water
pipelines, fire hydrants, communication and networking facilities at site.
•Vegetation, landforms and water as modifiers of microclimate.
•Understanding the above through real projects/ case studies.

UNIT V EXERCISE IN SITE SURVEYING AND PLANNING
R e g u l a ti o n s - 2 0 1 7

•Application of all the knowledge gained in previous units through a real/ hypothetical
project involving a real site.
•The process would involve choosing site for a building typology or vice versa, field
exercise in measuring and drawing the site, detailed site analysis, schematic site layout

and development.
•The project will be explored through analysis/ models/ sketches/ drawings.

OUTCOMES

1. Sensitivity towards aspects of site at macro and micro contexts.


2. Ability to exploit potential of site to design the built environment.
3. Ability to measure, draw, analyse and plan a particular site for a specific purpose.

1. Topography refers to the slope and level of
R e g u l a ti o n s - 2 0 1 7

Topography the land, whether the land is flat and plain,


or in sloping. 
2. Topography is a measurement of elevation
and slope is the percentage change in that
elevation over a certain distance. 
AR8322 – SITE SURVEYING & PLANNING

3. Topography is measured by to connecting


points of same elevation
