The Objective of this study explains the problems in general and solutions for the same in road projects running through the hilly terrain. This project location is in Western Ghats near to Kerala receives average annual rain fall of 6500mm in a period of 5 months in a year. Two VOPs are planned in this project by putting the NH traffic below ground level through cutting by allowing the crossroad traffic on ground level. This system is not at all advisable in this rain prone area.
The preparation of DPR is totally different for hilly terrain project than the plain terrain project. Plain terrain project needs land for the road features like carriage way, junctions, service road, toll plaza, rest area, bus stops,... more
The preparation of DPR is totally different for hilly terrain project than the plain terrain project. Plain terrain project needs land for the road features like carriage way, junctions, service road, toll plaza, rest area, bus stops, drains etc. Whereas in hilly terrain project needs extra land in addition to the above for slope protection works & approach roads and in view of safety the acquisition of abutting properties like houses besides RoW etc. Further, the engineering needs are also different from plain terrain projects.
