Road Design for Hilly Terrain

Job ID: 39847688

Budget: ₹2,000 – ₹5,000 INR

I have generated a point cloud (CSV format) and orthophoto (GeoTIFF) of a hilly area. A road cutting was done earlier, and now I need a proposed road alignment and design prepared as per IRC standards for hilly roads.

Scope of Work:

Import and process the provided point cloud (CSV) and orthophoto (GeoTIFF).

Prepare a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from the data.

Design a 2.5–2.7 km long road alignment (single lane / intermediate lane, width as per IRC).

Generate longitudinal profile (existing ground vs proposed formation).

Create cross-sections at every 25 m interval, perpendicular to the alignment.

Show formation width, carriageway, shoulders, side slopes, benches, breast walls/retaining walls as per terrain and IRC recommendations.

Compute earthwork quantities (cut & fill) using Average End Area / prismoidal method.

Propose cross drainage works (side drains and culverts) with approximate sizing and locations.

Deliver the following:

Alignment plan on orthophoto (with chainage).

Longitudinal profile (Excel + CAD/PDF).

Cross-section drawings (PDF/CAD).

Earthwork calculation sheet (Excel).

Drainage plan suggestions.

Standards to Follow:

IRC:52 – Geometric Design of Hill Roads

IRC:86 – Superelevation and Curves

IRC SP:42 – Road Drainage

IRC SP:13 – Culverts

Deliverables:

CAD drawings (Civil 3D / AutoCAD or equivalent)

Excel sheets (earthwork & chainage data)

PDF drawings (alignment, cross-sections, profiles)

Data Provided by Me:

Point cloud in CSV format (X, Y, Z)

Orthophoto (GeoTIFF)

Project length: 2.5–2.7 km

Requirements for Freelancer:

Civil Engineering / Road Design background.

Experience with Civil 3D / MX Road / QGIS / similar software.

Familiarity with IRC codes for hilly road design.

Ability to deliver neat drawings + reports.

Additional Notes:

Cross-section interval = 25 m.

Design speed = 30 km/h

Carriageway width = 3.75 m (single lane), with shoulders.
Total road cutting width=6.00 m( 7m for bends)
Minimum Radius=30 m( until and unless not feasible)
Focus on stability and practical hill cutting.
