INTRODUCTION:
The GAEL ASPHALT PLANT is a sophisticated plant and needs
almost care to handle the same. The plant is fully automatic
and can deliver more than rated output if maintained
properly.
Heart of the plant is its control panel and associated controls.
The controls panel controls entire plant and also protects its
motors from any damage.
There is only one panel which controls the entire plant. All
you need to do is just to connect held equipments to the
panel and give power connection No interconnections within
the panel are required.
The panel is in desk type construction. All indications are
provided on vertical panel and controls are on horizontal
panel for ease in operation computer is also housed in the

VISIT REPORT
ON Construction of Jetty at
Mhapan
Site Name :- Construction of Jetty at Mhapan
Date:-
22th march 2014
Place:-
Mhapan, taluka-kudal,Dist- Sindhudurga,
Maharashtra
Site Incharge:- Mr.M. R. Shinde
Staff Co-ordinator:- Prof. C.R.Nayak.
Prof. Sadananda M.N.
Introduction:We reached near the place of construction of jetty
structure, Mhapan on date 22th march2014 at pm. Mr. M. R.
Shinde who was the site in charge took us at the actual site of
construction. He told us all the information about jetty how it is
beneficial to protect the costal line of sea, how it is important for
unloading of ships. Also he told us the basic steps of
construction of jetty.
A jetty is a long, narrow structure that protects a coast line
from the currents and tides. Jetties are usually made of
wood, earth, stone, or concrete. They stretch from the shore into
the water.
Currents and tides of an ocean can gradually wash away a
beach or other features along the coastline. This is called
erosion. Strong river currents or waves from a lake can also
erode a coastline. Jetties protect the shoreline of a body of water
by acting as a barrier against erosion from currents, tides, and
waves.
Jetties can also be used to connect the land with deep water
farther away from shore for the purposes of docking ships and
unloading cargo. This type of jetty is called a pier. Jetties can be
popular tourist attractions. They usually provide safe access to
coastal areas.
The forms and construction of these jetties are as varied as
their uses (directing currents or accommodating vessels), for
they are formed sometimes of high open timber-work,
sometimes of low solid projections, and occasionally only differ
from breakwaters in their object. The term derived from the
French word jetée, "thrown", and signifies something thrown
out. Jetties at the coast that have been raised and extended help
prevent long shore drift and therefore slow down beach erosion.
Principle of Jetty Design:A jetty system helps to deepen an inlet channel and
reduce required dredging by concentrating and directing currents
to optimize scouring action. This is accomplished by confining
discharge areas and making flow channels more hydraulically
efficient, thereby promoting higher channel velocities. Jetties
stabilize an inlet entrance by intercepting the littoral drift and
preventing or minimizing deposition in the inlet channel. Jetties
also minimize the effects of wave action and crosscurrents on
vessels transiting an inlet.
Specific Design Theories:The basic jetty design theory is as followsSingle jetties and twin jetties built one at a time, A
single straight jetty may be oriented perpendicular to the
shoreline or may be placed at an angle with the shoreline,
depending on the predominant wave direction, the channel
alignment of the natural inlet and the desired alignment of the
improved inlet. The jetty may be located on either the up drift or
down drift side of the inlet entrance with respect to the net
direction of long shore sediment transport.
Design objectives:1. To determine the effect of wave action, tidal flow, and related
phenomena on inlet stability and on the hydraulic, geometric and
sedimentary characteristics of tidal inlets.
2. To develop the knowledge necessary to design effective
navigation improvemnets, new inlets, and sand transfer system
at existing tidal inlets.
3. To evaluate the water transfer and flushing capability of tidal
inlets.
KOLHAPUR AIRPORT IN ASPECT
OF
TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
Name Of Site:- Kolhapur Airport,Kolhapur.
Location of Site:-Ujlaiwadi-9Km Sout-East from Kolhapur city.
Date & Day of Visit:-20th March 2014
Time of Visit:-11.30am
Staff In-Charge:- 1) Prof. C.R.Nayak
2)Prof. Sadananda Acharya
Objectives:1. To learn different modes of transportation and importance of
air transportation.
2. To learn the basics in airport planning, types.
3. Importance of site selection, survey and drawing preparation
for airport planning.
Incidents:The airport was closed for repairs by order of the DGCA on June
16, 2010 after the runway surface was found to be unsafe in
monsoon. Due to the closure, flights into Kolhapur were
temporarily suspended. DGCA gave its approval for reopening of
the airport in April 2011 after MIDC repaid the 1370m long and
50m wide runway. MIDC also added facilities like close circuit
television system, baggage canner, door frame and hand held
metal detector and guide lights along the airstrip at the total cost
of Rs.6crore/Kingfisher airlines resumed commercial flights
on10th June 2011. The service to Mumbai was suspended in Nov
2011 when the airlines pulled out of several towns citing
financial losses.
AREA OF KOLHAPUR AIRPORT
Future Developments:Kolhapur airport was set for a major upgrade, making it capable
of handling Boeing737 aircraft. The upgrade involved increasing
runway length to 3300 and expanding its apron and related
equipments. MIDC was to acquire 223 hectares of adjoining land
from local farmers in 5 villages at the cost of Rs.80 crore for this
purpose.
Technical Details of Airport:-
The site was fully equipped with machines and equipments that
indicate the aero planes for safe takeoff and landing .The
following path is followed by an aero plane during its flight:A)Apron:
The airport apron is the area of an airport where aircraft are
parked, and unloaded or loaded, refueled or boarded. Although
the use of apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on
vehicles, it is typically more accessible to users than the runway
or taxi way. However the apron is not usually open to the general
public and a license may be required to gain access. The use of
the apron may be controlled by the apron management service
(apron control, or apron advisory) to provide co-ordination
between the users. The apron is designated by the ICAO as not
been part of the maneuvering area. All vehicles, aircraft and
people using the apron are referred to apron traffic. The apron of
the airport had a capacity of maximum 3 aircrafts that could be
parked on it at a time.
B) Runway:
According to the International Civil Aviation organization
(ICAO) a runway is defined “A rectangular area on the land
aerodrome prepared for the landing and takeoff aircraft”.
Runways are named by a number between 01 and 36, which is
generally 1/10th of the magnetic azimuth if the runways heading:
A runway numbered 09 points East (90o), runway 18 is South
(180o), runway 27 points West (270o) and runway 36 points North
(360o rather than 0o). When taking off from or landing on runway
09, a plane would be heading 90o (East). However runways in
North America that lies within the Northern Domestic Airspace of
Canada are numbered relative to true North, because proximity
to the magnetic North Pole makes the magnetic declination large.
A runway can normally be used in both directions, and is named
for each direction separately. E.g. :-“runway 33” in one
direction is “runway 15” when used in other. The two numbers
always differ by18 (180o). The runway which we visited on
airport was numbered as 25 and 07.

INTRODUCTION
SITE VIEW
The Zuari Bridge or Konkan Railway Bridge is a railway
bridge between North Goa and South Goa, India. It
carries the Konkan Railway over the tidal part of the
Zuari River, south of Carambolim. The bridge was
completed in three years.It is a few metres upstream of
a road bridge of the same name.
The bridge is 1,319 metres (4,327 ft) long. The Zuari
bridge is built across the Zuari river (The National
Highway No. 17). The lenght of the bridge is 627
meters. It was completed in April 1983. It was
constructed by Gamon India Limited. This bridge has
developed cracks time and again but with repairs and
maintenances it still is being used. It a longer when
compared to the Mandovi bridge. Running parallel to
the Zuari bridge is the Konkan railway bridge. This
bridge is the longest bridge of the konkan railway.
