Preliminary Study for Site Selection of the Proposed Floating Dockyard on the Padma River between the Reach Aricha to Mawa
BIWTC Objective of this study: To select suitable site for the proposed floating dockyard Google earth map of project area:
Paturia Ferry Ghat
Mawa Ferry Ghat
Data Available at IWM: ‐Hydrometric data (WL, Q) ‐Morphological data (Cross‐section) ‐Satellite Images of the Padma River reach ‐Bathymetric data of the Padma River ‐Historical Bankline data of the Padma River ‐Previous reports and models Scope of Works for IWM: ‐Site visit and reconnaissance survey of the Padma river reach ‐Collection, review, compilation and storing of secondary data like WL, Q, and satellite images ‐Planform analysis based on satellite image to select tentative sites ‐Historical cross‐section analysis of the selected tentative sites
1
‐Morphological and cross‐section analysis to establish near bank depth and bank stability for the selected sites ‐Probabilistic analysis of lean period flow to establish minimum available flow, minimum water level and navigational draft ‐Probabilistic analysis of monsoon flow to establish HWL and scour depth of selected sites ‐GIS based mapping showing tentative locations, existing features and future interventions like Padma Bridge ‐Figure out further study requirement ‐Technical report submission The mentioned works would be accomplished based on findings from field visit and analysis of available secondary data/ maps/ reports. Duration of the Study: The study is expected to be completed within a period of one month from the date of commencement. Items of Expenditure and Costing: ‐Man‐month of IWM professional staffs (Tk. 309,150/‐) ‐Direct cost (travel cost, printing, stationary, report preparation) (Tk. 45,500/‐) The estimated cost for the study is Tk. 354,650/‐ without VAT (IWM is IT exempted from the NBR). Expected Outputs from the Study: ‐Preliminarily selected potential site(s) for the proposed floating dockyard ‐Areas identified for detail study (Feasibility Study) Foreseeable Further Study Requirement: ‐Sustainability of the selected site in view of hydro‐morphological aspects ‐Effect of proposed interventions on surrounding area ‐Effect of Proposed Padma Bridge over proposed dockyard ‐Study of Social and Environmental aspects ‐ Study of other relevant aspects (communication, power, etc.) ‐Study of financial aspects
