1.1.3 Methodology of Physical Surveys (Topographic, Physical Feature &

Landuse)

GPS and Total Station based advanced survey technique will be used for conducting physical feature,
topographic, physical infrastructure survey. GPS and Total Station survey techniques to be used for
conducting all type of physical survey are presented as below:

1.1.3.1 GPS Survey Technique

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is worldwide all-weather radio-navigation and positioning
system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their 5 nos. ground control & monitor stations.
GPS receivers use these US Navigation Satellites for Timing and Ranging (NAVSTAR) to calculate

DSC 1-2
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

positions accurate to mater of meters. GPS receives radio waves, modulated for positioning,
transmitted by a maximum number of 24 satellites, which enables to work out the distance between
satellite and observation points. By receiving radio waves from four satellites simultaneously it is
possible to find out the three-dimensional co-ordinates and time (UTC) of the observation point with
an accuracy level which cannot be conceived in traditional ground survey. The facility of GPS has
been utilized in different kinds of ground surveys including geodetic, topographic and hydrographic
survey in the recent times. GPS based survey with its computer based data storage and processing
facility on and off the field offers immense flexibility in map production under a GIS environment. To
ensure precision and accuracy in survey work and to facilitate georefence/digital map production by
GIS software and finally to complete the whole work in a rather shortened time schedule, GPS
technology was the best and logical approach to be followed.

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System
(RTK-GPS) are different versions of GPS technology, each with its own range of applicability and
accuracy level. DGPS option gives about one meter accuracy data and RTK option deliver
centimetre position accuracy data. GPS based surveying has a number of advantages over
conventional surveying methods. These are: Highly accurate, Very fast, Line of sight not required,
Unified 3-dimentional global co-ordinate system (x,y,z) output and Digital/Computerized data storage,
processing facility.

1.1.3.2 Total Station Survey Technique

Electronic Total Station (TS) is combination of electronic theodolite, distance meter and leveling
Machine with on-board computer having graphic icon menu with LCD display and built-in MS-Dos
operating system. It can measure and store the positioning data of a target point in digital form. It
consists of a microprocessor with special software for operation, data capture, storage & processing,
transmission and receiving to/from a computer. The data can be stored in internal memory or in
external memory card. It transmits ledger beam towards the target where a reflector (i.e. prism) is
placed and receives the reflected beam by which calculate the distance, bearing and 3-D coordinate
of that target point with respect to the reference points whose coordinates are known. Measurements
to be done by a Total Station survey technique are as below:

 Distance measurement.
 3-dimensional co-ordinate measurement (x, y, z).
 Traverse-style co-ordinate measurement.
 Resection.
 Offset measurement.
 Missing line measurement.
 Remote elevation measurement.

Mathematics of total station measurements to calculate the parameters of target point is presented
below:

Where, Instrument Position = N0, E0 & Z0, Target Position= N1, E1 & Z1, Slope Distance= S, Zenith
Angle= qz, Azimuth Angle= qh Instrument Height= Mh Target Height= Ph

1.1.3.3 Establishment of Bench Marks (BM)

For GPS and Total Station Survey, establishment of adequate and uniformly distributed Bench Mark
is very crucial. Since all the subsequent survey operations are dependent on and related to the bench
mark, any error simply multiplies and compounds to a menacing total deviation. As such accuracy of
Bench Mark coordinate values both along horizontal and vertical axes is of utmost importance.

Survey being a continuous and time-intensive operation, maintenance of the bench marks has many
beneficial aspects. Since these bench marks will be used in physical feature, engineering
infrastructure, land use and topographic survey of the project area for preparation of the detailed area
plan as well as for the survey works that will be carried out in implementation of the planned works in
future, preservation of the bench marks will ensure consistency and conformity of the past, present
and future works. During selection of the bench mark locations, these considerations need to be
considered.

Besides, as foliage of tall trees prevents satellite signals from reaching the receiving GPS sets, which
interferes with data quality, availability of free open sky around will also be considered during
selection of BM locations. These BM pillars will be used frequently during secondary/temporary BM
establishment survey as well as subsequent other surveys. As such accessibility is another high
consideration during the location selection process.

At least 20 nos. of Marks (BM)/Control Points (CP) having three dimensional co-ordinates (Northing,
Easting and Reduce Level in mPWD/mMSL) will be established covering the entire project area to
carry out the total survey activities. Establishment of BMs comprises the following item of works:

 Construction and Installation of BM pillars.

 Establishment of Co-ordinate of BM Pillars (x, y, z i.e Northing, Easting & RL in mMSL).

DSC 1-4
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Construction and Installation of BM Pillars

The BM pillars will be constructed and installed before the survey work start. The construction design
and specification of such BM pillars shall be finalized as per suggestion of Client. The BMs will be
established with uniformly distributed grid covering the total project area. However in consideration of
the criteria to be followed, listed below, some adjustments in positioning of the pillars will be
necessary.

 Accessibility at all times.

 Availability of open sky for good satellite signals.
 Secure place for long term preservation.
 Local resistance to installation of pillars at private lands.

The location and the number of BM pillars will be selected by a comprehensive Joint (client-
consultant) reconnaissance survey of the project area. In case of any difficulties of installation of BM
pillars, the control point of that particular location will be established and marked on an existing
permanent structure such as bridge, culvert, monument etc. After establishing the co-ordinates of the
BM, the corresponding surveyed values (x, y z) will be marked on the face of each BM pillars as
shown below (Figure-2).

A. Establishment of Co-ordinates (x,y,z) of BM Pillars

Establishment of co-ordinates {x, y, z i.e latitude/northing, longitude/easting & Reduce Level (RL) in
Mean Sea Level (MSL)}of BM Pillars needs extensive GPS survey, BM carry and data processing
work. The total work comprises the following items:

 Selection of reference BM (x, y, z)

 Baseline survey by RTK-GPS Static Method.
 Network Adjustment
 Development of Geoid Model.

DSC 1-5
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Selection of Reference BM

Selection of existing reference BM inside or around the project area is essential for establishment of
new BM network for the project area. Reference BM provides georeference (x, y) and elevation (z)
with respect to a datum i.e. the co-ordinates of the BM pillars. For establishing co-ordinates of the new
BMs the available SoB BMs inside or periphery of the project area suggested by the client will be used
as reference BM. The BM information will be collected from SoB by the consultant before survey
starts. SoB BMs are geo referenced National Bench Marks/Control Points established by JICA (Japan
International Cooperative Agency) in association with Survey of Bangladesh (SOB). These BMs are
very precisely surveyed and established both in horizontal and vertical datum. In the period of 1992 to
1995, a total of 141 numbers of Bench Marks/Control Points in an approximate grid of 30km were
installed and established by JICA. Those 141 Bench Mark covers most of the areas of Bangladesh
except the coastal region. Later on numbers of BMs were also established covering the country. Some
of these are also available inside and periphery of the project area. Information of these BMs will be
collected from SoB and used as reference BM for establishing new BM network for the project area.

The map showing the location and the detail list of the SoB-JICA BMs covering the entire Bangladesh
is enclosed as Figure-3

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Baseline Survey by RTK-GPS Static Method

The Baseline survey is the simultaneous data collection in static mode at two or more fixed points
using two or more duel frequency GPS receivers. The measurement network for RTK-GPS baseline
survey will be planned by connecting the BM/Control Points to be established and the selected SoB
reference BM points (known Latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height) available inside and around the
project area. A line connecting two measurement points is known as baseline. It is important to
emphasis that the configuration of network was based on practical considerations rather than
requirements of an ideal network.

The GPS measurements consists a simultaneous static measurement with dual frequency GPS
receivers at the ends of a baseline concerned. Measurement or logging time for a session is usually
one hour. During the measurements the GPS receivers at the two points record the information or
data (Latitude, Longitude, Ellipsoidal Height) on the configuration of available satellite at the time,
which at the end of day’s work will be processed using Trimble Geomatic Office software. If results
from the field measurements found unacceptable, measurements will be repeated.

Figure-4: RTK Static Survey set-up for Baseline Survey

Network Adjustment

The verified results of each baseline will be stored for the subsequent network adjustment. After
completing the baseline survey, network adjustment will be done with respect to the known values
(Latitude, Longitude, and Ellipsoidal Height) of selected SoB reference BMs available inside and
around the project area. The adjustment module of Trimble Geomatic Office software will be used for
network adjustment. After network adjustment the precise co-ordinates (Latitude/Northing,
Longitude/Easting, and Ellipsoidal Height) of each BM will be obtained.

With the output co-ordinates of the BMs in latitude/nothing, longitude/easting and ellipsoidal height
from the network adjustment result, a network of geoid points will be established for the project area.

DSC 1-7
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Development of Geoid Model for the Project Area

A Geoid is a representation of the earth surface over which the earth’s gravity is constant. If the value
of earth gravity on the geoid is the value of the gravity on the average sea level, then the geoid
represent the mean sea level of the corresponding area.

With the output co-ordinates of the BMs in latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height from the network
adjustment result, a network of geoid points was established for the project area. However, to be a
precise geoid model the ellipsoidal heights were converted to the corresponding geoidal heights.
Furthermore, in order to develop the Geoid Model of the project area in terms of a functional datum
i.e. mPWD/mMSL, it was required to determine the heights or levels of the BMs in mPWD/mMSL
datum.

As in Figure-5 in the context of Bangladesh, the SoB datum or height is equivalent to orthometric
height and could be calculated from the corresponding geoidal height and ellipsoidal height. The
corresponding mathematical relation is shown below:

N=H+h

Where, N = Geoidal height, H = Orthometric height, h = Ellipsoidal height

Figure-5: Earth Surfaces (Topographic, Ellipsoidal & Geoid)

Some scientist measured the earth’s gravity in a grid of several kilometres all over the world and then
made a mathematical model, which is known as “World Geoid Model”.

To establish a relationship between the ellipsoidal height (h) & geoidal height (N) of an area, the
relationship between the world geoid model and local land topographic (undulation) characteristics of
that area was required. The following procedure was applied for that purpose:

Using the network adjustment data of baseline survey as input the “World Geoid Model” the geoid
separation or geoidal height (N) for each of the surveyed points (BM point) was obtained. Then the
orthometric height (H) was calculated by using the above equation. The combination of “World Geoid
Model” and the surveyed data made a new model known as “Local Geoid model”.

DSC 1-8
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Secondly it was needed to make a relationship between the orthometric height (H) and the local
datum (mPWD/mMSL). To do so, with the output co-ordinates of the BMs in Latitude, Longitude and
Ellipsoidal Height from baseline survey results, the vertical heights will be established with respect to
MSL datum To do so, few numbers of BMs those covers the boundary conditions of Local Geoid
Model were needed to be surveyed with respect to national datum (mPWD/mMSL) from one or more
SoB reference BM available inside or around the project area using BM carry survey by auto level
machine as shown in Figure 6. Then an input data file for the “local geoid model” which consists of
Latitude, Longitude, Ellipsoidal height, and mPWD/mMSL height will be prepared. Incorporating this
input file to the Local Geoid Model a relationship data file will be established between the orthometric
height (H) and local datum (mPWD/mMSL). This data file is known as “local model input data file”.

Finally, if the Latitude, Longitude, and Ellipsoidal height of a particular point (whose local datum i.e.
mPWD/mMSL datum is unknown) was used as input to this “Local Geoid Model” in association with
the local model input data file, then the mPWD/mMSL height of that unknown point will be calculated
by the model.

1.1.3.4 Physical Features Survey

Physical Features shall be surveyed using Total Station (TS) survey technique. Location and
dimension of all existing structures and installations along with types in respect of use, construction
and storied will be surveyed. Names of structures, type of construction, uses and storey etc. will also
be recorded during physical feature survey. Survey will also cover location of all existing exposed
light/electric, telephone posts and twers, gas, water, sewerage line, roads etc. Physical feature survey
will be conducted using RTK-GPS supported Total Station (TS) survey technique. Data will be
recorded in the TS memory with separate ID or code number for each feature (as Line, Point and
Polygon). Later on the TS data will be transfer directly to the GIS database where the feature will be
kept in separate layer wise as per specified code or ID. Physical feature survey information will be
presented on RS/CS Mouza maps.

For supporting the Total Station Survey, huge numbers of Secondary Control Point (SCP) will be
established using RTK fast static survey technique. These SCPs will be used by the total station
groups as reference points (Station and Back Points) for physical feature, topographic and landuse
survey.
