Report on Preliminary Survey of Existing Rundu WTW Site to Sikondo Mupini

Pipeline Route - Rundu WTP Project

Surveyed and drafted by: Surveyor Jason

Survey Date: 20 - 23 April 2024

1. Objectives
 To know the location and distribution of the pipe line on the ground.
 To take note of any obstruction that may delay or interfere with the construction of the
pipeline.
 To make a preliminary survey of the pipe line route.

2. Materials and Instruments Used

 Hi Target GPS (Base and Rover) : To locate the position of the pipeline
 Data controller : To store Surveyed data
 Tripod : To hold the Base firm to its position
 Auto cad 3D civil : Used for drafting purposes

3. Methodology
This was the preliminary survey of the proposed clear water Main Gravity pipe from Existing
Rundu WTW Site to Sikondo Mupini Pipeline route. All chainages along the pipeline were
located in a sequence of one after another and all features of interest or features within the
premises of the Pipeline were physically surveyed and noted. All drawing were done in Auto
cad 3D Civil.

4. Observations
a) There is a section of construction drawing missing i.e.W12.18–W12.30 between
W12.17 and W12.31

b) Observations for section of the pipeline through Vambo location to Sikondo

Mupini recorded as below

Figure 1:
 The distance between the existing boundary wall and the proposed water pipeline is
0.009mm

Figure 2:
 Between point W12.60 – W12.61 the pipeline cut through an encroached boundary
wall and Stoop labelled as existing house on the figure above.
 At W12.61 the existing house surpassed the pipeline with 0.56cm onto the street

5. Conclusion
For all the chainages provided with the design of the pipeline, preliminary demarcation was
done and all features interfering with the premises of the pipeline were surveyed and noted.
The challenges and obstructions within the pipeline alignment due to the permanent structures
and natural trees shall be reviewed and resolved with the Engineer.
