Introduction:-
Route survey for a pipeline & transmission line is a critical step in the process of planning and constructing a pipeline,transmission line as it helps determine the best route for the pipeline and ensures that the pipeline & transmission linewill operate properly. The survey process involves gathering information about the terrain, soil, and other factors that will affect the pipeline's & transmission line design and construction.Here are some of the things that are typically included in a route survey:
detailed route survey for a pipeline or transmission line is a ground-based survey that helps determine the best route alignment and provides details for construction:
Objectives A detailed route survey can help confirm the pipeline alignment, determine the exact route length, and establish survey monuments. It also helps identify crossing locations and angles, and obtain details about the ground levels and topographic features.
Methods
A detailed route survey uses modern survey techniques, such as total station or DGPS, to mark and profile the route. Reference levels are recorded along the route, and the profiling details are digitized.
Purpose
A route survey is often required for planning a right of way, acquiring property, and laying out construction. It can be used to locate right of way lines, centerlines, and reference lines in relation to property lines and terrain features.
-
Reconnaissance survey
This survey involves gathering basic information about the area, such as topographic maps, aerial photos, and cadastral maps. The survey also includes evaluating the general topography, geology, and other factors.
-
Preliminary survey
This survey provides information that helps design the pipeline's horizontal and vertical alignment. It includes information about earthwork quantities, intersection details, and more.
-
Soil investigation survey
This survey provides information about the soil along the route.
-
Population density survey
This survey provides information about the population density along the route.
-
Cadastral survey
This survey provides information that can be used for land acquisition purposes.
detailed route survey for a pipeline or transmission line is a ground-based survey that uses modern techniques to determine the best route alignment. The survey includes:
Reconfirming alignment:
The survey verifies the pipeline's alignment and transmission line on the ground.
Finalizing crossing points:
The survey determines the locations and angles of any crossings.
Obtaining topographic features:
The survey records the topography within the right of way and on either side of the centerline.
Obtaining ground levels:
The survey records the ground levels and contours along the route.
Establishing survey monuments:
The survey sets stakes at turning points and intersections.
Gathering land use details:
The survey records information about the land use pattern and soil characteristics.
Recording reference levels:
The survey records reference levels along the route.
Digitizing profiling details:
The survey digitizes the profiling details and uses computer-aided tower spotting. Route surveys are used for a variety of purposes, including planning the right of way, acquiring property, and laying out construction.
