CHAPTER 2 - SURVEY AND INVESTIGATION

Notes: 1. For departmental Survey progress of labour employed shall be verified with the rates given in this chapter. 2. Length of the survey will be measured along the lines on which particular type of survey is to be done. For example, for chain and compass survey, it would be the length along which the chaining and compassing is to be done. For levelling, it would be the total length of the lines along which levels are to be taken.

3. (a) The rates are based on the following average daily progress that can be normally achieved under average conditions by one survey party:Item Chain and compass survey Levelling (above 15 m interval) Head works 2 km 2 km Canals 3 km 2.5 km

(b) The labour strength of one survey party for chain and compass survey considered in (a) above is 12 mazdoors (3 for ranging, 1 for preparing pegs, 1 peg man, 2 chainman, 1 compass man, 2 axe men for removing obstacles, 1 waterman and 1 watchman for watch and ward of camp). For levelling (above 15m interval) the labour strength considered is 8 mazdoors (2 chain and tape man, 1 staff man, 1 instrument man, 1 umbrella man, 1 waterman and 2 axe men for removing obstacles). (c) In very difficult terrain and special circumstances where the progress may be less special sanction for the rate should be obtained from the Superintending Engineer and the provision for the same be made in the estimate. 4. (a) The items against which multiplying numbers suffixed by "R" have been given in the rates column, the payable rates on NMR shall be arrived at as per following formulaPayable (in Rs) rate (in Rs) =Coefficient X Current labour rate(R)

For example if Rs. 100.00 is the current labour rate for unskilled mazdoor, the payable rate for item 205 (a) will be 6 x Rs. 100.00 = Rs. 600.00 per km. (b) In (a) above, the current labour rate shall be the daily labour rate of unskilled mazdoor applicable in the area at the time of execution of work. (c)The categories of labour other than unskilled mazdoor may also be engaged wherever required but the maximum payable rate shall not exceed the amount arrived at as per (a) above. The rates so arrived at shall be rounded off to the next ten paise.

(b) The multiplying numbers given under this chapter are exclusively for survey and investigation work. 5. (a) The rate for item 202 (6) does not include the cost of blasting materials. (b) When depth of the trial pit or trial trench exceeds 1.5 times the top width, 10% extra rate shall be payable for 202 (1) to (7) as per item 202 (10). 6. (a) The theodolite shall invariably be used for survey and setting of curves for irrigation channels carrying discharge above 1 cumec and layout of important structures etc. (b) The chaining of final alignment shall be done with due precision preferably after setting of curves. (c) The surveyed alignments and cross-sections shall also be marked on village maps. (c) The cross-sections for catchments area survey may be taken at 150 m interval. The ridgeline and cross-sections may also be marked on village maps for computation of catchement area. (d) The survey party for double levelling shall be headed by the S.D.O. (e) While checking progress of NMR/contract work ,the completion of plotting, wherever required shall also be ensured. 7. The items 211 and 212 shall be payable, when construction of temporary approach road is considered necessary by the Superintending Engineer/Chief Engineer. Prior written sanction of the Superintending Engineer/Chief Engineer is necessary which will include the width (2.5 m or 3.8 m) and type (non-hilly or hilly terrain) of road in different lengths as considered necessary. (a) For execution of item 215, one Sub Engineer Unit may engage a maximum of one Amin. (Qualified) or Survey Attendant (ITI certificate holder), One field Asstt. Abhiyana (Matric) or Time-Keeper (matric) and 3 mazdoors. Item 215 shall be executed on prior written sanction of the Superintending Engineer/Chief Engineer, specifying the number of SubEngineer units in each Sub Division and the period for which they are to be engaged which shall be issued by first week of proceeding month quarter wise (Jan. to March, April to June, July to Sept. and Oct to Dec.) after assessment of work. 8.
