Objective
To design a highway which capable of
accommodating a maximum of traffic volume of
average daily traffic (ADT) of 10,175 vehicles so
that a rise in socio-economy of Samarahan can
be achieved

Project Detail
Proposed road will start from point C
(N5158000, E2075500) to point F (N5158500,
E2078000) in the map
Rolling terrain
Design standard,R5.
Road category is highway
Partial control of access

 Option 1 :
Full depth asphalt
pavement with
unmodified penetration
70/100.
Advantages :
- Cost
- Durability
- Sources available
- Maintenance
- Long life span

Bridge
Location of bridge : chainage 1+850 to 1+870
Length = 20m
Beam bridge
Cost effective, easy to manufacture
Can resist bending and twisting

Drainage
Types of drainage design:
1. Traversable Ditch with Concrete Lining
2. Symmetrical or V-shaped Ditch

For superelavation at the horizontal alignment, open

channel ditch is used with the frame and vane crates
inlet.
Culvert is also installed to allows water flows
underneath the road, then divert them to low-lying
area.

Traversable Ditch with

Concrete Lining

Symmetrical or V-shaped
Ditch

Drainage Maintenance
Cutlassing or cleaning off the ditch regularly to avoid
them from silting up and sending water back to the road.
Provide vegetation to reduce soil erosion at the side
slope of the V-shaped ditch.

Conclusion
Route length is 2.615km with one bridge.
Road standard of R5 with design speed of
85km/hour.
Design consideration is following the standard
Embankment volume > Excavation volume
Therefore, volume of soil needed to fill in for
project purposed is 35413m.
Hopefully can improved the quality of road in
Sarawak by performing good design, better
option for road pavement, effective bridge and
drainage system design.
