Q: Stages of Engineering Surveys for Highway Locations in the following order
  • A. Preliminary surveys, Map Study, Reconnaissance, final location and detailed surveys
  • B. Preliminary surveys, Map Study, Final location and detailed surveys, Reconnaissance
  • C. Map Study, Reconnaissance, Preliminary surveys, Final location and detailed surveys
  • D. Map Study, Preliminary surveys, Final location and detailed surveys, Reconnaissance
Correct Answer: Option C - Order of engineering survey for highway alignment– Map study–Gives a rough guidance of the routes to be further study in the field. Reconnaissance–To examine general characteristics of the area with a view to select possible alternate alignments. Preliminary survey–Air is to finalize the most suitable alignment out of various alternative. Final location and detailed surveys–Alignment finalized in the design office during primary survey is to be first located on the field.
