1. Introduction
This report details the survey work conducted for the proposed construction of a G+2 residential complex at
Haldia Township, Gandhinagar. The objective of the survey was to assess the site’s suitability for
development, determine its physical characteristics, and gather critical data to inform the design and
construction processes. The following sections outline the methodologies, equipment, and results of each
type of survey conducted.
2. Surveys Conducted
2.1. Reconnaissance Survey
Objective: Initial assessment to understand the site conditions and constraints.
Activities Performed:
o Walkthrough of the entire site.
o Identification of access points, natural features, and visible obstructions.
o Collection of initial GPS coordinates.
Observations:
o Terrain is predominantly flat with minor undulations.
o No significant vegetation, existing structures, or utilities within the project boundaries.
o Potential waterlogging areas identified in the northwest corner.
2.2. Topographical Survey
Objective: To create a detailed map showing the site’s contours and features.
Equipment Used:
o Total Station, Auto Level, and GPS.
o Drone for aerial imagery.
Process:
o Established control points based on survey benchmarks (BM).
o Measured spot elevations at 10-meter intervals across the site.
o Identified existing features such as drains, nearby roads, and adjacent properties.
Results:
o The highest elevation: 52.7 meters.
o The lowest elevation: 50.9 meters.
o Topographical map prepared with 0.5-meter contour intervals.
2.3. Soil Investigation Survey
Objective: To analyze soil characteristics and ensure the design of a safe and durable foundation.
Activities Performed:
o Conducted boreholes at 5 locations across the site to a depth of 10 meters.
o Performed standard penetration tests (SPT) and collected undisturbed soil samples.
Laboratory Tests:
o Grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and moisture content.
o Bearing capacity and shear strength.
Key Findings:
o Soil type: Predominantly sandy loam with adequate drainage.
o Bearing capacity: 200 k N/m² (sufficient for G+2 structure).
o Groundwater table: Detected at 3.2 meters below the surface.
2.4. Boundary and Cadastral Survey
Objective: To demarcate the exact project boundaries and verify land records.
Activities Performed:
o Collected cadastral maps from local authorities.
o Verified existing boundary markers with Total Station.
o Adjusted site layout to avoid encroachments.
Outcome:
o Site boundary accurately marked with concrete pillars.
o Verified area: 10,000 square meters.
2.5. Hydrological Survey
Objective: To assess drainage patterns and mitigate flood risks.
Activities Performed:
o Surveyed existing natural drainage channels.
o Analyzed historical rainfall data for Gandhinagar.
o Simulated surface runoff using hydrological modelling.
Key Findings:
o Seasonal waterlogging risk in low-lying areas (mitigation recommended).
o Proposal for rainwater harvesting and stormwater drains included.
2.6. Road and Utility Survey
Objective: To evaluate existing road connectivity and utility availability.
Activities Performed:
o Measured distances to the nearest access roads and utilities.
o Verified alignment and capacity of nearby water supply and electricity lines.
Key Findings:
o Access road: 7-meter-wide asphalt road adjacent to the site.
o Utilities: Nearest water and electrical connections are within 200 meters.
3. Challenges Encountered
Access Restrictions: Heavy vehicles faced difficulty accessing the northwest corner due to uneven
terrain.
Water Table Proximity: The high groundwater level required adjustments in foundation depth and
waterproofing plans.
Weather Interruptions: Intermittent rainfall during survey activities caused delays.
4. Recommendations Based on Survey Findings
1. Site Grading:
o Level the site to mitigate minor undulations.
o Elevate low-lying areas by 0.5 meters to prevent waterlogging.
2. Foundation Design:
o Adopt shallow foundations with adequate waterproofing measures.
o Include a drainage layer to address high groundwater levels.
3. Stormwater Management:
o Construct stormwater drains along the site perimeter.
o Implement a rainwater harvesting system to collect and store runoff.
4. Utility Connections:
o Extend water supply and electricity connections from the nearest junction.
o Ensure capacity upgrades to accommodate residential demand.
5. Conclusion
The survey has provided a comprehensive understanding of the site’s characteristics and constraints. The
findings and recommendations outlined above will guide the planning and construction of a safe, efficient,
and sustainable G+2 residential complex at Haldia Township, Gandhinagar.
