ITEM DESCRIPTION CHECK (√ or X) COMMENT

A ROUTE LOCATION
1 Data Collection

Check for Arerial Photographs, Topographical Maps, Cadastral Plan

Soils and Geological Maps, Hydrological Information such as tide

level and rainfall information.
2 Design Requirement

Check for road functionality (R1, R2, etc), Cross-section dimensions

(Carriageway width, shoulder width, etc), design speed, road reserve
Design ADT, project duration and other criteria set by client.

3 Field Reconnaisance
Design Engineer to check site condition, land use, socia-Economic
Factor, Borrow source, Geometric requirements, construction cost
and propose for alternatives
4 Soil Investigations
Conduct Geotechnical investigation on existing ground of the
proposed route.
5 Submission of Route Location Report/Conceptual Design)
Check for all Figures(locality plan, proposed alternative, etc), work
programmes and cost estimate

B PRELIMINARY DESIGN
1 Detail Ground Survey

Check that the information from surveyor is sufficient for the design
2 Geometric Design
Check for design requirement (Design speed, typical cross section,
sight distance, minimum radius, superelevation, desirable grade, crest
& sag curve). Check for cut and fill.
3 Pavement Design

Check for design ADT, thickness of subbase, road base, Alsphatic

Concrete Wearing Course and Binder Course. Also check for
gradation of Aggregate, physical and mechanical properties; optimum
binder content etc.
4 Drainage Design
Check for catchment area, soil properties and crop; slope, overland
flow for run off estimation. Check tide level ;velocity for scouring
and siltation and freeboard for culverts and drains. Check Fill height
of culvert, piling requirement, re-bar, concrete.

settlement gauge, degree/method of compaction etc.
6 Intersection/Interchange Design

Check for radius of turning, vehicle type, approach speed etc.

7 Traffic Control Devices

Check directional and traffic sign, pavement marking etc.

8 Relocation of Services
Check for detail of relocation, time of relocation, liase with relevan
authority etc.
9 Accesses to Adjacent Properties
Check for geomerty,location and requirements(visibility, stoping site
distance, grades, culverts etc.
