- 8. The various major challenges are: •Frequent and seismic tremors. •Problems of soil erosion and landslides. •Suitable orientation on the hill slopes. •Existence of tall shoddy trees and the dense •forest area, which obstruct the winter sun required for the buildings. •Limitation of the heights of the building due to earthquake risk. •High cost involved in the site development due to the cutting and the filling process. •Non availability and transportation problems of construction materials. •Availability of excess of water. •Fauna like algae etc. •Construction of building •Across deep gorges •Rivers with boundary beds •In extreme temperature zones •Sharp turns on highways.
- 9. •Extreme temperature zones. •Problematic labor procurement. •Insufficient safety measures - Landslide or debris flow, deep gorges. •Ineffectual material transportation. •Insubstantial waste deployment. •Construction in hilly terrain is more expensive than building on a flat area because of the cutting and filling as the foundation has to go deeper up to the rocky part so that the structure stands on a firm ground. •The materials used when constructing on a hill are the same: cement, reinforcement bars, sand and binding wire. However, the quantity and quality of the materials is much, much more. For example, the reinforcement bars are bigger, increasing the total cost.
- 10. •Waste management is a challenging issue when it comes to construction in hilly terrain. If not addressed in the right way, it may become the major cause of pollution of all the critical revering systems and valleys. •If burning is adopted as way to dispose waste, it would pollute the air and contribute towards warming of the localized climate. For segregation, recycling and reuse of municipal solid and liquid waste. •Before construction commences i.e. the cutting and filling is done, the structural engineer has to visit the site to make an accurate design of the detailed architectural drawing. The structural engineer gives his designs depending on the type of soil on the site.
- 11. The various opportunities are: •Mountain view. •River front. •Weather- moderate •Surrounded by forest and lush greenery. •The state is one of the prominent •Destination for travel enthusiast simply because the Himalayan environment gurgling streams, snowcapped mountains ,its richness of culture, monasteries, flora and fauna. •The Sikkim is nestled in the foothills of the eastern Himalayans and the nature has gifted this state with unique beauty. •The state is bestowed with a grater variety of vegetation and undistributed valleys, fine climatic zones, total simulation, peaceful environment, hospital able and humble people and a rich cultural heritage which is unmatched and would be hard to find anywhere else •Good drainage system because of steepy slopes •Tourist Attraction.
- 12. HOW TO ACHIEVE Landscape Design entails several key elements that are universal to all design projects, regardless of if they are for a home, business, or park. These include – •Focal Points •Line •Form •Texture Landscape design should be designed – a design should not happen by accident but should be the result of coordinated and intentional plantings and arrangements. These elements should be considered, planned, and evaluated prior to any actual work.
