The newly constructed building of Kendriya Vidyalaya in Gopeshwar

The newly constructed building of Kendriya Vidyalaya in Gopeshwar, the district headquarters of Chamoli, has been completed. District Magistrate Sandeep Tiwari conducted an on-site inspection of the newly constructed school building on Friday. During the visit, the District Magistrate reviewed the classrooms, laboratories, canteen, toilets, safety railings for children, playground, drainage system, and other facilities in the school building. He instructed that a technical inspection committee be constituted to examine the provisions for electricity, water, and fire safety, and a report be submitted. Based on the committee's findings, any deficiencies observed should be rectified promptly, and the school building should be handed over without delay.


The District Magistrate also directed that operations at the new building be commenced at the earliest. Additionally, he inquired about the number of registered students and the staff of Kendriya Vidyalaya. Engineers Manoj Kumar and site engineer Santosh Singh from the implementing agency, C&DS UP Jal Nigam, informed that all approved construction work, including the school building, eight staff quarters, one principal's residence, a playground, boundary walls, and other facilities, has been completed on three acres of land at a cost of ₹30.29 crores.

Types of drawings in any construction project:

Types of drawings in any construction project:

1. IFC Drawing:

Detailed drawings considered final, issued, and approved by the design team for construction, reflect precise dimensions, layout, and specifications. It can used by GCs to execute construction according to the contract, and also serve as a legal record of the design.

2. Construction Drawings:

These drawings provide an overview of the entire project, its floor plans, elevations, sections, and site plan. These documents are used in bidding and early construction stages.

3. Shop Drawing:

Detailed drawings produced by contractors or sub-contractors, illustrating specific components, systems, or installations according to design.

4. As-Built Drawings:

Drawings created during or after construction that show/reflect the actual conditions of the project, including any changes or modifications made during construction.

Summary:

i. IFC drawings represent the entire project design.

ii. Shop drawings focus on specific components.

iii. Construction drawings provide an overview.

iv. As-built drawings capture the final built state.

दिल्ली सहारनपुर देहरादून एक्सप्रेसवे

9 निर्माण फर्मों ने 18 मई 2022 को  210 किलोमीटर दिल्ली-सहारनपुर-देहरादून एक्सप्रेसवे के चरण 3 के 18.47 किलोमीटर पैकेज 2 के निर्माण के लिए बोलियां जमा कीं।
 यह 6 लेन ज्यादातर ग्रीनफील्ड एक्सप्रेसवे 4 चरणों में विकसित किया जा रहा है। इसके 40 किलोमीटर के चरण 3 में NH-307 को उत्तर प्रदेश के सहारनपुर बाईपास और उत्तराखंड के गणेशपुर के बीच 6 लेन के एक्सेस-नियंत्रित राजमार्ग में अपग्रेड किया जाएगा।

 इस पैकेज में 2 निरंतर खंड शामिल हैं।
 और इसकी विस्तृत परियोजना रिपोर्ट (डीपीआर) ट्रांसिस कंसल्टिंग प्राइवेट लिमिटेड द्वारा तैयार की गई थी। 
 भारतीय राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण (NHAI) ने जनवरी 2022 में अपने निर्माण अनुबंध के लिए रुपये के साथ निविदाएं आमंत्रित कीं। 495.85 करोड़ अनुमान और 10 साल की रखरखाव अवधि। 

एनएचएआई का संक्षिप्त दायरा: बीएमपी चरण-1 (पैकेज-2) के तहत ईपीसी पर उत्तर प्रदेश और उत्तराखंड में सहारनपुर बाईपास से दिल्ली देहरादून ईसी के गणेशपुर खंड तक के हिस्सों में पूर्ण अभिगम नियंत्रण प्रावधानों के साथ छह लेन (पैकेज -2)। 

Flexible Pavement, Construction of Road or Highway

Construction of Road/ Highway
There are two types of Road Construction.
 1.) Flexible Roads/Pavement
 2.) Rigid Roads/Pavement
 In Flexible Road Construction
 Total length of thickness=570mm
 a) GSB Layers=300 mm
 b) Wet mix macadam (WMM) Layer=120 to 150 mm
 c)  Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) = 80 mm
 d) Bituminous Course (BC)/Wearing Course = 40 mm
 Total =300+150+80+40
           =570 mm

Flexible Pavement 
A pavement which consists of a mixture of asphaltic or bituminous material and aggregate placed on a good quality and compacted granular material is called flexible pavement. Example of flexible pavement water bound macadam roads . 
The essential points of flexible pavement 
(i) The flexible pavements have self revive properties.whatever deformation arise in flexible pavement due to massive wheel loads, it is regeneration to some extent after some time. 
(ii) The temperature variations due to changes in atmospheric conditions do not produce stresses in flexible pavement. 
(iii) The structural capacity of the flexible pavement is influenced by strength of the sub-grade. 
(iv) The cost of construction of flexible pavements is less than compared to rigid pavement.

           =570 mm
California bearing Ratio Method 
The California bearing ratio of a soil which ranges from 0 to 100 % , gives a value about the quality of a material contrast to that of a magnificent base material for which the C.B.R. is assumed to be 100 percent. 
There are many versions of C.B.R. method of flexible pavement design. 
 
This is a penetration test developed by the California Division of Highways to evaluate the stability of soil sub-grade and other flexible pavement. 
It contains a standard piston have a diameter of 50 mm which is used to penetrate the soil at the standard value of 1.25 mm/min. 
Test Procedure
(a) Laboratory CBR apparatus contain a mold of 150 mm diameter with a base plate and a collar, a loading framework and dial gauges to evaluate the penetration. 
(b)The specimen of soil is soaked in water for 4 days, and swelling and water absorption values is noted. 
(c) Load is applied on the samples by a standard plunger with diameter of 50 mm at the rate of 1.25 mm/minutes.
(d) A graph is plotted between the load or pressure and penetration. 
(e) Load values are noted corresponding to the 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm penetration.
 (f) Calculate the CBR value corresponding to 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm. 
CBR% = (Load carried by specimen at 2.5 or 5.0 mm penetration/ Load carried b standard aggregates at a corresponding penetration level ) x 100
 Standard Load Values 
Penetration (mm)  Load (Kg) Pressure (Kg/Cm^2) 
2.5   1370 70 
5.0 2055 105
 (g) Average CBR value of three test specimens is reported as the CBR value of the sample. Table.1 Typical CBR values of soils and their rating 
Soil Range of CBR values   Rating
Clay.    2-5     very poor Subgradade
Silt           5-8 Poor Subgrade
 Sand    8-20 Fair to good Subgrade
GRAVEL 20-30  Excellent Sub grade
