GANDIPALEM RESERVOIR
INTRODUCTION:-
The P.Chenchu Ramaiah Reservoir (Gandipalem Project) is a medium irrigation project and a
big irrigation source in Udayagiri Assembly constituency in Sri Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore
District. The P.C.R.Reservoir (Gandipalem Project) was constructed during period of 1975 to
9184 about 25 years back across Pillaperu river, which a tributary to Manneru river near
Gandipalem village in Udayagiri Mandal. The Project is situated about 118 km from Nellore
towards North-west of Nellore with a global coordinate of 790-18’ longitude East and
latitude 140-59’ North.
An earthen bund was formed with a composite length of 388M, between two
hillocks forming a big reservoir with an impounding capacity of 1.88 TMC (53.24 M.Cum).
The Project mainly envisage providing irrigation facilities to an ayacut of 16,000 acres through
2 canals namely Right main canal and left main canal for 17 villages of Udayagiri and
Varikuntapadu Mandals of Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore District which is said to be a drought
prone area.
The earthen bund and the rock toe is damaged at various locations and also the apron
& side walls are damaged in the D/s of the spillway. The approach roads to the dam were
damaged. Both head sluices are damaged due to this heavy seepage losses are occurring. Hence
the head sluices are proposed for reconstruction. Hence modernization of this project is
proposed under JICA loan assistance.
In the Dam and Apurtment works, it is proposed to provide repairs to 4 No. radial
gates and re construction of 2 head regulators, repairs to rock toe and apron of weir. Approach to
regulators and CC road as per Morth on top of earthen bund, electrification etc. is also proposed.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM
The irrigation system consists of a (main) intake structure or (main) pumping station, a
conveyance system, a distribution system, a field application system, and a drainage system. The
(main) intake structure, or (main) pumping station, directs water from the source of supply, such
as a reservoir or a river, into the irrigation system. The conveyance system assures the transport
of water from the main intake structure or main pumping station up to the field ditches. The
distribution system assures the transport of water through field ditches to the irrigated fields.
The field application system assures the transport of water within the fields. The drainage
system removes the excess water (caused by rainfall and/or irrigation) from the fields.
bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way
beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline.
The obstacle to be crossed may be a river, a road, railway or a valley.
TYPES OF CULVERTS
Pipe culverts are widely used culverts and rounded in shape. The culverts may be of
single in number or multiple. If single pipe culvert is used then larger diameter
culvert is installed. If the width of channel is greater than we will go for multiple pipe culverts.
They are suitable for larger flows very well. The diameter of pipe culverts ranges from 1 meter
to 6m. These are made of concrete or steel etc..
Pipe arch culverts means nothing but they look like half circle shaped culverts. Pipe arch
culverts are suitable for larger water flows but the flow should be stable. Because of arch shape
fishes or sewage in the drainage easily carried to the outlet without stocking at the inlet or
bottom of channel.
This type of culverts can also be provided in multiple numbers based on the requirement. They
also enhance beautiful appearance.
They can also be used as passages to cross the rail or roadway during dry periods for
animals etc. Because of sharp corners these are not suitable for larger velocity. Box culverts can
also be provided in multiple numbers.
4.Arch Culvert
Arch culvert is similar to pipe arch culvert but in this case an artificial floor is provided
below the arch. For narrow passages it is widely used. The artificial floor is made of concrete
and arch also made of concrete. Steel arch culverts are also available but very expensive.
5.Bridge Culvert
Bridge culverts are provided on canals or rivers and also used as road bridges for vehicles.
For this culvert a foundation is laid under the ground surface. A series of culverts are laid and
pavement surface is laid on top this series of culverts. Generally, these are rectangular shaped
culverts these can replace the box culverts if artificial floor is not necessary.
SLAB CULVERTS
Hydraulic Considerations:
The hydraulic performance of a culvert is of utmost importance. Engineers must carefully
analyze flow rates, volume, velocity, and other relevant hydraulic parameters to prevent
flooding, erosion, and potential damage to adjacent structures. Accurate sizing and appropriate
shape selection are critical to maintaining efficient conveyance and minimizing the risk of
hydraulic issues.

Estimating and costing for a single lane bridge involves calculating the expenses
associated with constructing, operating, and maintaining the bridge. The cost may
vary depending on factors such as the length of the bridge, materials used, site
conditions, and labour costs. Here are some key points to consider:
OBJECTIVE:
1. Materials: Estimate the quantity and cost of materials required for the bridge
construction, such as concrete, steel, timber, or composite materials.
2. Labor: Determine the number of labour hours required for construction and
maintenance activities. Consider different skilled workers, including engineers,
architects, construction workers, and maintenance staff, and estimate their wages or
labour rates.
3. Equipment: Assess the need for specialized equipment like cranes, excavators, or
piling machines. Estimate rental or purchasing costs, as well as maintenance
expenses.
4. Design and engineering: Account for design and engineering fees, including
surveys, geotechnical investigations, structural analyses, and architectural planning.
5. Permits and legal requirements: Determine the costs associated with obtaining
necessary permits, complying with regulations, and acquiring land rights or
easements.
USES:
It's important to note that specific costing details can vary depending on the
location, complexity, and specific design requirements of the single lane bridge.
Therefore, it is advisable to consult with civil engineers, quantity surveyors, or
construction professionals to obtain accurate and customized estimates based on
your project's particular needs.
To calculate the quality of earthwork for a single lane bridge, you can follow a
similar approach as mentioned before. However, in this case, you will need to
consider specific parameters related to the construction of the bridge.
Here's a step-by-step process to calculate the quality of earthwork for a single lane
bridge:
1. Determine the planned quantity of earthwork for the bridge foundation. This
could be the estimated volume or area of earthwork that was scheduled to be
completed for the foundation of the bridge.
2. Measure or calculate the actual quantity of earthwork that has been completed for
the bridge foundation. This could be the actual volume or area of earthwork that has
been accomplished for the bridge foundation.
For example, if the planned quantity of earthwork for the bridge foundation was 500
cubic meters and the actual quantity completed is measured to be 400 cubic meters,
the calculation would be:
Remember, this calculation only considers the quality of the earthwork for the
bridge foundation. To assess the overall quality of the complete single lane bridge,
you will need to consider other factors such as the quality of the superstructure,
construction materials, and overall functionality of the bridge
ACTIVITY LOG FOR THE SIXTH WEEK
Details such as bar size and type, bending shape, number of sets or individual bars, bar length (in
running metres) and overall length, and total weight are provided
The process of cutting and bending steel bars is carried out by labourers at the
construction site. Because the labourers working on site do not have a strong technical
background, it is challenging to explain what they are doing with the assistance of drawings.
Mistakes in steel cutting and bending are possible. Because BBS specifies both the bar’s design
and its cutting length, elucidating the concept to them is a breeze.
A supervisor is able to easily instruct the workers, and the workers are able to do the
necessary work in accordance with the needs and parameters of the structural design.
DETAILED ESTIMATION
Preparation of detailed estimate consists of working out the quantities of different items of
work then working out the cost that is the estimate is prepared.
The whole work is divided into different items of work as Earth work, concrete, brick work
etc. and the items are classified and grouped under different sub-heads, and details of each item
of work are taken out and quantities under each item are computed in prescribe form
Rate analysis is the basis for arriving at a correct rate per unit work or supply of work
specifications such as labor, materials, and equipment. It can also be defined as the analytical
study that leads to the definition of unit rates of work by identifying the basic requirements
There are two significant benefits for carrying out rate analysis of an item. The first is
determining the cost per unit item, while the second determines its economic processes and uses.
Rate analysis gives a well-defined picture of tools, services, and machinery involved in the
construction of a project.
Rate analysis helps in proportioning the effect of the market on the payments made for
construction work. It also helps in determining the construction costs per unit as stipulated in the
specifications. The use of rate analysis makes it possible to come up with uniform standards for
construction works.
Five factors play a pivotal role when calculating rate analysis. These are
Material costs
Labor costs
Equipment costs
Overheads
Contractor profits
Site inspection
Earthworks excavation for a single lane bridge involves the removal and grading
of soil and rock to create a stable foundation and roadway for the bridge.
Here are the general steps involved in the earthwork’s excavation process for a
single lane bridge:
Earthworks excavation
2. Survey and layout: Conduct a topographic survey of the area to establish the
necessary grades and dimensions for the bridge. The survey will help determine
the amount of material that needs to be excavated or added.
3. Excavation: Dig out the soil and rock using heavy machinery such as
excavators, bulldozers, or backhoes. The excavation needs to be done deep enough
to accommodate the bridge abutments, footings, and approach slopes.
4. Slope stability: Ensure that the excavated slopes are stable and properly
compacted to prevent soil erosion or collapse. Use geotechnical engineering
techniques if necessary to enhance slope stability.
5. Trenching and backfilling: If any utilities such as water pipes or electrical cables
need to be installed under the bridge, trenches will be excavated and backfilled
with suitable materials to protect them.
7. Grading and levelling: Use grading equipment to trim and level the excavated
area, creating a smooth and even surface for the bridge. This helps ensure proper
drainage and prevents water pooling on the roadway.
10. Quality control: Conduct regular inspections and tests to ensure that the
earthworks excavation meets engineering specifications and safety standards.
It is important to note that the specific steps and techniques may vary depending
on the site conditions, soil type, climate, and local regulations. Professional
engineering expertise and consultation are vital for successfully conducting the
earthworks excavation for a single lane bridge.
Laying a CC (Cement Concrete) bed using M10 grade concrete for a single lane
bridge involves the construction of a stable and durable roadway surface. M10
grade concrete typically consists of 1 part cement, 3 parts fine aggregates (such as
sand), and 6 parts coarse aggregates (such as crushed stone).
Here are the general steps involved in laying the CC bed using M10 grade concrete
for a single lane bridge:
1. Preparation: Ensure that the excavation and grading of the bridge site are
completed as per the specifications.
2. Formwork: Install formwork to define the dimensions and shape of the CC bed.
Formwork provides support and containment for the concrete during the pouring
and setting process.
3. PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) base: Prepare a PCC base layer by pouring and
compacting M10 grade concrete. This layer serves as a strong foundation for the
CC bed and provides a level surface for the bridge.
4. Reinforcement (if required): Install reinforcements like steel bars or mesh in the
PCC base as per the design and engineering requirements. Reinforcements provide
additional strength and prevent cracks or failure in the CC bed.
5. Mixing concrete: Mix the M10 grade concrete ingredients in the desired
proportions (1:3:6 - cement: sand: coarse aggregates) with water, either manually
or using a concrete mixer.
6. Pouring concrete: Pour the mixed concrete evenly onto the prepared PCC base
within the formwork. Use shovels, wheelbarrows, or concrete pumps, depending
on the accessibility of the site.
7. Levelling and compacting: Use trowels or screeds to level the poured concrete
surface and eliminate any irregularities. Compact the concrete using vibratory
rollers, plate compactors, or other suitable equipment to achieve maximum density
and reduce air voids.
