Topographic Survey and Technical Specifications (Topographical Survey Requirement Procedures and
Specifications) for Contract Package 2.

1.0 General
1.1 The Execution of a surveying operation from its inception to the final submission of results is
a continuous process which much be meticulously carried out if maximum and accurate value
is to be gained from it. The most accurate and carefully gathered data will be wasted if not
processed carefully, collated, and presented in a clear and understandable manner. All
information must be gathered, validated, checked, and rendered in a logical and uniform
manner using clear unambiguous terms so that the data may be recovered and understood
both immediately after the survey and in the future.

The survey hand been carried out in one (1) uniform system of coordinates as in the
Philippine reference System of 1192 (PRS-92) and Elevation using the Benchmark from
Philippine Datum derived from mean sea level. Topographic survey was carried out and
longitudinal profile and cross sections of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) route.

Presently, the survey of detailed project report are required to be carried out as per
guidelines for preparation of prepared project report with the recent technological advance.

Various activities of survey are carried out for various alternatives considered to justify the
final choice of location of the different component of the project.
a. Route Survey
b. Terminals and Loading Station
c. Canal and Branch Canal, etc.
Collection of accurate field information is critical to determine existing site conditions,
prepare suitable design and successfully construct the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT)
route.

Accurate field survey information is required for many aspects of exclusive route road
project. Listed below are some of the common acceptable survey principles that are used
by professionals practicing in the road safety field

Topographical Survey considered in the final choice of the different

loading/unloading Stations, Soil Survey, rights of way survey, construction survey of the
area covered by the CBRT route delineating its boundary limit. Comprehensive survey
program was established in the field that record its profile leveling to a benchmark of
known elevation base on Philippine standard of mean sea level Horizontal control was
also tied to an established. Philippine reference system of 1992 (PRS-92) as the new
standard survey system in the Philippines with known geographic and grid coordinates, A
careful analysis of contour lines made from results of conventional survey using GPC and
total Sta. Inst. And Aerial photogrammetry survey using drone instrument enable us to
arrive at a quality map of international standard. The topographic map indicated most
likely the configuration of the ground and longitudinal profile of the stretch of the CBRT
route.

The topographic map survey result guided the designer and provided facts for the
number of persons it transport and projection of years for beneficial use transporting
people of Cebu metropolis.

Topographic description and map project layout superimpose on NAMRIA topographic

map utilizing instrument the Global Positioning System (GPS) dual frequency and which
processed observe data to determine geographical coordinates the world Geodetic

its geographic and grid coordinates, PRS-2 thru an administrative order become the new
standards survey reference system in the Philippines. Elevation derived from mean sea
level (MSL) by differential leveling reckoned from reference DENR Benchmark and project
Control Points (PCP) based from duly certified by DENR/NAMRIA. Attached certified
copies of Horizontal control points based from CBU-117 & CBU-288 duly certified by
DENR/NAMRIA. Area of project was estimated to be in hectares.

A control survey for Horizontal and Vertical shall be conducted along the CBRT route
package-2 the road alignment and the hillside above the road. All traverse control points
shall be marked on the ground by permanent bolts cast in bedrock for centering and
elevation references.
 Intervisible permanent concrete benchmark and Horizontal Control Points shall be
constructed at about 500 meter interval or less close to the proposed alignment, the
permanent benchmarks shall be established at appropriate locations that can be used for
detailed topographic survey traverse where practicable in future use.

Following scales with contour interval of One (1) meter have been adopted for the
survey maps of the whole route of the project. The whole area is on a scale 1:5000m and
section area is on scale 1:500m.

Further as a result of this topographic survey the route for the road right of way
are marked on the topographic map. The stacking survey shall follow later when the CBRT
route road construction starts.
