The alignment of the transmission line shall be most economical from the point of view of construction and maintenance. Routing of transmission line through protected/reserved forest area should be avoided. In case it is not possible to avoid the forests or areas having large trees completely, then keeping in view of the overall economy, the route should be aligned in such a way that cutting of trees is minimum. The route should have minimum crossings of Major river, Railway lines, National/State highways, overhead EHV power line and communication lines. The number of angle points shall be kept to a minimum. The distance between the terminal points specified shall be kept shortest possible, consistent with the terrain that is encountered. Marshy and low lying areas, river beds and earth slip zones shall be avoided to minimize risk to the foundations. It would be preferable to utilize level ground for the alignment. Crossing of power lines shall be minimum. Alignment will be kept at a suitable distance from power lines to avoid induction problem on the lower voltage lines. Crossing of communication line shall be minimized and it shall be preferably at right angle. Proximity and parallelism with telecom lines shall be eliminated to avoid danger of induction to them. Areas subjected to flooding such as Nalah shall be avoided Restricted areas such as civil and military airfield shall be avoided. Care shall also be taken to avoid aircraft landing approaches. All alignment should be easily accessible both in dry and rainy seasons to enable maintenance throughout the year. Certain areas such as quarry sites, tea, tobacco and saffron fields and rich plantations, gardens & nurseries which will present the Owner problems in acquisition of right of way and way leave clearance during construction and maintenance should be avoided. Angle points should be selected such that shifting of the point within 100 m radius is possible at the time of construction of the line. The line routing should avoid large habitations, densely populated areas, Forest, Animal/Bird sanctuary, reserve coal belt areas, oil pipe line/underground inflammable pipe lines etc. to the extent possible. The areas requiring special foundations and those prone to flooding should be avoided. For examination of the alternatives & identification of the most appropriate route, besides making use of information/data/details available/extracted through Survey of India Topographical maps and computer-aided processing of NRSA’s satellite imagery, the Consultant shall also carryout reconnaissance/preliminary
