Highway Alignment Survey Stages: Correct Sequence

The engineering surveys for a new highway alignment project must follow a logical sequence to ensure efficiency and accuracy. The correct order facilitates informed decision-making at each step.

Correct Sequence Explained

The stages are sequenced as follows:

  • B. Map study: This is the initial step involving the review of existing topographical maps, satellite imagery, and other relevant data to identify potential routes and constraints.
  • A. Reconnaissance: A preliminary field investigation to broadly assess the feasibility of routes identified during the map study and to choose the most promising ones.
  • C. Preliminary survey: More detailed field surveys are conducted along the selected potential routes to gather essential data like topography, soil conditions, and existing features for comparison.
  • D. Final location: Based on the comparative analysis of data from the preliminary survey, the optimal route is selected. This stage involves pegging out the proposed alignment on the ground.
  • E. Detailed survey: Comprehensive surveys are performed along the final alignment, including cross-sections and setting out specific construction elements, to prepare detailed project drawings.

Therefore, the correct sequence is B, A, C, D, E.
