To ensure the highest construction standards, cost-effectiveness, and timely completion of national highway projects, the NHAI has set up a detailed project report (DPR) cell at its headquarters in New Delhi, an official statement said on Thursday.

The DPR is an essential component for the successful implementation of a national highway project and includes various surveys, investigations, and designs related to it.

The cell will help prepare accurate reports that will enable the development of world-class national highways, further contributing towards the growth of the nation. The dedicated cell will also help finalise various parameters for all highway components – Highway & Structures – as per IRC specifications and standards.

The cell, as per the ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH), will provide expert inputs and enable end-to-end monitoring of the DPR for the national highway projects. It will also help bring uniformity in the review mechanism of the DPR and will ensure that quality reports are prepared and reviewed before the implementation of the projects.

“The DPR cell will have a dedicated team of around 40 professionals consisting of Principal DPR Experts and various domain experts for road safety, traffic, land acquisition, bridges, tunnels, geotechnical experts, senior highway experts and forest specialists,” the statement added.

These experts will help develop mechanisms and monitoring systems that will ensure uniform implementation of the reviewing process throughout the DPR project lifecycle.

In addition, the team will also study bid documents and technical schedules related to national highway projects and provide cost estimates based on design features.

It will also assist in the planning of preconstruction activities and incorporating the project with the Highway Information Model Software (HIMS).

Officials from the cell will undertake site visits to evaluate proposals made by DPR or design consultants and suggest innovative practices to enhance quality output in the DPR relevant to the project.
