ESSENTIAL DESIGN DATA ARE NECESSARY FOR FIXING DESIGN DISCHARGE, AS PER THE RECOMMENDED RULES.

Essential design data are required to be collected necessarily from the site of proposed culverts or minor bridge and no satisfactory designing can be done unless the minimum essential design data are collected and recorded by the Engineer. These data can be collected with very little efforts. Failure to collect these can only result in designs being based on guess work and such designs are likely to be either unnecessarily costly or to result in the failure of the structure when built. In the case of very small culverts, one trial pit may be taken down roughly two times the maximum depth of the (existing or anticipated scour line) It should be shown on the cross section of the proposed site of work and the trial pit section should be plotted to show the type of soils passed through. A trial pit should be dug down to such rock or firm soil. It was an occasion today on 11-10-2023 when visited the on foot approach to Mata khabari devi ji temple and found on the way that at Karaha site Gram Panchayat Gandhir has provided hume pipes on the site of proposed culvert since very long but no filling work has been done by the GP Gandhir Tehsil Jhandutta district Bilaspur Himachal pradesh and work is incomplete for which retrogression of levels through a relief culvert may solve the purpose of up water at the inlet of the proposed subsidiary culvert and protection work is required to outfall in the main stream. The wasteful expenditure may be fruitful if said work is completed by the GP Gandhir tehsil Jhandutta district bilaspur Himachal pradesh and distance from Gandhir School may come down from two km to half km for the light vehicles for which said culvert has been proposed by the GP Gandhir however work still incomplete is a matter of sore grave concern as people taking no benefit of the said expenditure of the culvert made by the GP Gandhir Tehsil Jhandutta district bilaspur Himachal pradesh.
