The Ganga Expressway, spanning a length of 1,047 km (651 mi), has been granted approval for 594 km (369 mi). It is a greenfield expressway in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, featuring 6 lanes initially, with the potential for expansion to 8 lanes. The construction is split into two phases, with the first phase connecting Bijauli village on NH-334 in Meerut district to Judapur Dandu village on NH-19 in Prayagraj district via Sarai Katiyan village on NH-27 in Kanpur. The second phase involves extending the expressway from Prayagraj to Ballia and from Meerut to Haridwar.
The typical cross section above demonstrates a standard fill section designed for areas with level terrain. The carriageway is supported by selected earth fills on both sides, ensuring stable embankments and proper drainage.
Carriageway Width: 7.5 m per lane, 2 lanes per direction.
Road Estimator simplifies the creation of this typical section by providing pavement layer definition, slope configurations, and fill calculations, saving substantial time and effort in the quantity takeoff process.
This cross section illustrates a service road alongside the main expressway. It also includes a utility corridor for future expansion and service needs, making it an ideal design for urban or semi-urban stretches.
Road Estimator’s ability to integrate service roads and additional corridor, while displaying fence symbol and calculating precise material quantities, makes it useful for this type of project section.
In certain areas, due to challenging terrain and the need to minimize land acquisition, the cross section features a Retaining Earth (RE) wall to make better use of the available space. This is especially important in areas where space for embankments is limited.
Using Road Estimator, engineers can easily model the RE wall, adjust its dimensions based on topographical conditions, and calculate the required quantities for both earthworks and materials. The software significantly reduces manual effort and errors, ensuring the section complies with design & construction requirements.
Road Estimator has transformed the way engineers approach road projects. Whether it’s calculating complex cut and fill requirements, designing service roads, or managing RE walls, the software makes it easy to handle large volumes of data and generate cross sections quickly and accurately.
For the Ganga Expressway project,
To see how Road Estimator can simplify the creation of typical cross sections and handle quantity takeoffs with ease, we invite you to watch the recorded webinar. You’ll get an inside look at the Ganga Expressway project, learn how to generate these typical cross sections using the software, and see the demonstrations of quantity takeoff processes.
