Department of Civil Engineering arranged a field visit for sixth semester (2077 batch) students on 22-23 Falgun, 2080. The field visit program was led by Er. Razim Ganesh, Er. Sarita Prajapati, Er. Umesh Sukamani, Er. Saroj Phaiju, Er. Shyam Sundar Basukala, and Er. Ramila Shrestha. In total, 88 students attended the visit. The field visit was related with Transportation and Water Supply Engineering. The objective of the visit was to observe various elements of B.P. Highway and the sequential components of water supply system which would help the students to visualize the theoretical knowledge they obtained during lectures.
On the first day, along the travel, various highway features, such as catch drain, water drop structures, pipe and box culverts, hairpin bends, slope and river protection works were observed in addition to a brief visit at microhydropower project situated at Mangaltar, Kavre. At Nangedanda Pumping water supply system, Mulkot, students observed all the components of the Water Supply System. Sump well at the bank of Sunkoshi River was visited from where water is pumped to plain sedimentation tank, then to slow sand filter and to clear water reservoir. From clear water reservoir, water is pumped up to the service reservoir in three stages. At Selfie Danda, the next day, the students were explained about the shotcrete mechanism and bio-engineering process as slope protection measures. The field trip concluded with a visit to Sindhuligadhi.
