Construction Supervision
Setting-out checks, quantity verification, quality control and stage-wise reporting on works executed by others.
What we do
What we are askedto build, andhow we build it.
Six core disciplines and a set of specialist works that support them. Each one is set out below with the scope, the method and the estimator that will give you an indicative budget for it.
01 Core service
Riverbank Protection
Anti-erosion works designed for a braided, sediment-heavy river cutting through soft alluvium. The governing idea is launching: the bed will scour, so the toe protection is built to roll down into the scour hole and armour it, instead of standing rigid until it is undermined.
Work begins by cutting the bank back to a designed slope and laying a non-woven geotextile filter with proper overlap, so that fines cannot migrate out from behind the armour. Sand-filled geo-bags are then placed to the designed thickness on the slope and in an apron at the toe, sized against the anticipated scour depth. Where stone is economically available, boulder pitching is used in the same arrangement.
- Scope
- Bank profiling and dressing, geotextile filter, geo-bag revetment, launching apron, boulder pitching, RCC and bamboo porcupine screens, spurs and toe walls.
- Method
- Slope cut to design, filter laid with 10–15% overlap, bags filled to the specified fill weight and placed in bond, apron laid to the designed width and thickness.
- Measured in
- Running metres of reach, square metres of protected area, numbers of bags, cubic metres of stone.
- Season
- October to May. Pre-monsoon completion of the toe is the priority on every reach.
02 Core service
Rural Infrastructure
The connectivity works that decide whether a village can reach a market, a school or a hospital in the wet season. Village link roads, approach roads, culverts, causeways and small community buildings — modest individually, decisive collectively.
On alluvial ground the subgrade is the whole battle. We prepare and compact it properly, lay granular sub-base and macadam to profile, and size cross-drainage for the monsoon flow rather than the dry-season trickle, because an under-sized culvert takes the road with it the first time it surcharges.
- Scope
- PMGSY-class rural roads, approach and link roads, WBM and bituminous surfacing, RCC pavements, hume-pipe and box culverts, causeways, side drains, community and institutional buildings.
- Method
- Subgrade prepared and compacted to specification, layers laid and rolled to designed thickness, cross-drainage set out before the formation is closed.
- Measured in
- Kilometres of carriageway, cubic metres per layer, numbers of cross-drainage structures.
03 Core service
Civil Engineering
General civil construction executed to drawing and specification: reinforced concrete structures, foundations, retaining walls, drainage and site development. The work is checked stage by stage — levels and cover before a pour, cube results after it — and the records are handed over with the structure.
We also provide construction supervision on behalf of clients whose works are being executed by others, covering setting-out checks, quantity verification, quality control and stage-wise reporting.
- Scope
- RCC works, foundations and footings, columns, beams and slabs, retaining structures, brick and block masonry, plastering and finishes, storm and foul drainage, site development.
- Also offered
- Construction supervision, quantity verification and stage-wise quality control for third-party works.
- Measured in
- Cubic metres of concrete, tonnes of reinforcement, square metres of masonry and plaster.
04 Core service
Flood Protection
Embankments, levees and flood-control bunds built to a designed trapezoidal section. The quality of a bund is decided by two things that cannot be seen once it is finished: the preparation of the foundation and the compaction of each layer of fill. We benchmark both, and we record them.
Work includes new embankment construction, raising and strengthening of existing sections, breach closure, and slope protection by turfing or pitching so that the section survives the first high water it meets.
- Scope
- New embankments and levees, raising and widening of existing sections, breach closure, retirement bunds, toe drains, turfing and slope pitching.
- Method
- Foundation cleared and benched, fill placed in layers of specified thickness, watered to optimum moisture and compacted, slopes trimmed to section and turfed.
- Measured in
- Cubic metres of compacted fill, running metres of section, square metres of turfing.
05 Core service
Earthwork & Excavation
Bulk cut and fill, formation levels, channel desilting and borrow-pit management. Earthwork is where most infrastructure budgets are won or lost, because the quantity is large, the rate is sensitive to soil classification, and once it is covered up nobody can check it.
We measure in bank volume, price against the soil actually encountered, and account separately for bulking, haulage lead and disposal — the three things that quietly double an earthwork bill when they are left out of the estimate.
- Scope
- Bulk excavation in all classes of soil, embankment and formation fill, cutting to level, desilting of channels and drains, borrow-pit opening and restoration, spoil disposal.
- Plant
- Hydraulic excavators, tippers and compaction plant, deployed with the working season and the state of the approach road in mind.
- Measured in
- Cubic metres of bank measure, with bulking and lead stated separately.
06 Core service
Sustainable Infrastructure
Bio-engineering used alongside hard protection rather than instead of it. Bamboo piling, porcupine screens, turfing and vegetative cover induce siltation, bind the upper bank and keep working long after the contractor has demobilised — at a fraction of the embodied cost of concrete.
It also keeps money in the district. Bamboo, sand and labour are sourced locally wherever the specification allows, which shortens the haulage lead, lowers the carbon cost of the works and puts the wage bill into the villages that live behind the bank.
- Scope
- Bamboo piling and bamboo-crate structures, RCC and bamboo porcupine screens, turfing and vetiver planting, vegetative slope stabilisation, silt-inducing works.
- Why it works
- Screens slow the attacking current and encourage deposition; roots bind the surface soil so the upper bank stops shedding into the channel.
- Local benefit
- Local sourcing and local employment, with material bought within the district wherever the specification permits.
07 Specialist works
Extended services.
Packages we take on within a larger scheme, or as standalone contracts where another agency holds the main works.
