approval.
1.1
STIPULATIONS OF CONCESSION AGREEMENT FOR DESIGN
Design shall be carried out for 20 years

Flexible pavement Design shall be carried out as per IRC: 37 and IRC: 81 guidelines
Concrete pavement design shall be as per IRC:58
Service Road shall be designed for 10% of main carriageway Traffic
DESIGN TRAFFIC
The CVC and Axle Load Survey conducted by FVPL have been considered in arriving the MSA.

Stipulations in the Concession Agreement

The Concession Agreement stipulates that the growth rate shall be highest of the following
in the initial 5 years.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
5% per annum for all vehicles.

Trend growth of various vehicle categories.
Projected Growth rate of revenue assumed in the concessionaires cash flow.
Growth determined from secondary socio economic data and elasticity factors.
And then reduces every 5 years by 2 (two) percentage points subject to a minimum of 3%.
The Growth rates considered in arriving the msa, since they are higher than others have been
tabulated in below Table:

The pavement design for the new Pavement has been performed for 150 MSA as it is limiting
loading as per IRC: 37:2001 and100msa for overlay as it is limiting load as per IRC:81-1991
1.3.2
Design CBR
Consultants have conducted tests on barrow area samples and the results for the same are
awaited. Meanwhile a design CBR of 10% has been considered as it can be seen from site that
Good soil is available through out the Project road.

OVERLAY DESIGN
The Consultants have carried out BBD survey and the characteristic values arrived from the test
varies from 0.6mm to 0.8mm; hence there is no requirement of overlay on existing pavement.
However, as a minimum case as stipulated in IRC 81-1991, an overlay of 50mm DBM and 50mm
BC has been suggested for the entire Project length.
4-7
It is to be noted that NHAI has laid a surface course of 50mm BC in the year 2007-2008.
1.5
Recommended Pavement Crust Composition
Since as per CA requirement, the thickness and composition of layers for widening shall be same
that of existing pavement, the following crust composition has been recommended.
