11. Part 1: Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Preamble
The principal and first order document for implementation of projects under the
Commune/Sangkat Fund (C/S Fund) is the C/S Fund Project Implementation Manual (PIM).
The C/S Fund Technical Manual (this document) is a second order document dealing only with
technical aspects of C/S Fund infrastructure projects and particularly the interface with the C/S
Fund Project Generator software developed for infrastructure projects. C/S Fund service
projects are not dealt with by the Technical Manual.
If there is a conflict between the C/S Technical Manual/Project Generator and the PIM then the
PIM takes precedence.
1.2 Commune/Sangkat Fund Technical Manual
The C/S Fund Technical Manual is for the design and construction of small-scale infrastructure
projects financed by the Fund. The Technical Manual is used with an interactive software
package called the C/S Fund Project Generator.
It has been produced by the National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development
(NCDD) with the help of the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD), the Ministry of Water
Resources and Meteorology (MoWRAM), and others.
It originated as the Seila Technical Manual and the accompanying interactive software package
called the Seila Template Program developed between 2001 – 2006. The Seila material and
procedures were used and evolved over several years with some success and were taken over
by NCDD. The many strong features of the approach were recognized but there were some
problems also. In particular the Template designs and program were somewhat inflexible and it
was difficult to update or add new designs. Also the many forms and procedures required by
the Project Implementation Manual (PIM) although they provided a strong system in themselves
were demanding on time and resources in the provinces; and had to be completed within a very
short time window in the annual project cycle. Consequently many of the forms were often
incomplete and seldom properly checked prior to approval. In addition the construction
supervision was inadequate with the result that it was common for infrastructure works to be of
poor quality and not completed to the full dimensions.
The new manual differs in several ways:
x The core ‘template program’ function has been retained but rewritten on a flexible
software platform; it incorporates standard design drawings (prepared in AutoCAD but
saved and accessed in PDF format) linked to spreadsheets which calculate quantities
and costs according to variable dimensions.
x The concept of checklist-type feasibility study PIM forms from the Seila Template
process have been upgrade to interactive ‘Technical Forms’ built into the Project
Generator software in combination with the Template program component. Hence the
forms call in the outputs of the template program automatically by use of links and
dropdown menus allowing rapid and quality assured assembly of a project portfolio.
x The new technical forms in “ project generator ” provide design guidance where
technical design is required. The user must answer simple questions by either filling
data or choosing answer from multiple choice answers.In some technical forms, advice
on type and dimensions of infrastructure will be provided in order to choose project
output. To obtain the advice, you need to do some calculation by using several small
Excel programs called “Applet”. The programs are interactive, the user can change
some design requirements, or in some cases vary the design criteria used, until an
acceptable design is produced. The user can choose the final design choice which can
be less than recommended if there is good reason.
Study and Design Guidelines I-2
12. Part 1: Introduction
x For construction supervision the Technical Guidelines incorporate an updated and
expanded version of construction checklist forms developed by MRD.
x The Project Generator can be expanded to cover other requirements of the PIM.
This Technical Manual is distributed to all Provincial Departments of Rural Development
(PDRD), and to contractors working on C/S Fund infrastructure projects. It is also available to
other organisations working in rural infrastructure.
The C/S Fund Technical Manual is primarily intended as a resource to be used in design of
infrastructure projects of the Commune and Sangkat Councils. Most of the projects are small
and simple. There are many different projects with similar outputs. For example, in 2002 the
Commune Councils constructed about 1200 road culverts and about 1100 wells.
The drawings in the C/S Fund Technical Manual can be used for about 90% of all the
infrastructure project outputs implemented by the Commune Councils.
Most of the drawings are not new, they are generally based on designs in current use by line
ministries, in some cases simplified or condensed so that they can be used by small works
contractors. Other designs have been taken from development sector literature and adapted
always with the emphasis on suitability for use in contemporary rural communities in Cambodia.
Almost all the drawings in the original Seila Manual have been used on many successful
projects already.
Most Commune and Sangkat projects will be constructed by small contractors who do not have
high level technical skills, or a lot of equipment. The drawings in the C/S Fund Technical
Manual can help the Communes and the contractors to achieve good results in the following
ways:
x The drawings are available in Khmer and English languages;
x The drawings are easy to read, by people who do not have high technical education (If
you think that the drawings are not easy to read, please complain and we will try to
improve them!);
x The project outputs shown in the drawings are easy to construct, without a lot of special
equipment;
x The designs do not need a very high quality of construction technique, to achieve a
successful project. For example, concrete structures built using the designs will be
strong enough, even if the quality of the concrete is not very good.
When the Commune Council implements a project, they must follow technical guidelines from
the Ministry that is responsible for the sector. For example, road projects should follow
guidelines from the Ministry of Rural Development, and irrigation projects should follow
guidelines of the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology.
Because the Ministries have helped to produce the Technical Manual (and the earlier Seila
Technical Manual), the drawings in the Manual follow Ministry guidelines. If the Commune
chooses a drawing from the Manual for their project, they know that the drawing follows the
guidelines. However, the Commune can choose to use a different drawing (one that is not in
the Manual) if they prefer.
The drawings show technical designs for project outputs. Before choosing a drawing for the
project outputs, the project designer must decide what types of outputs are needed, how big the
outputs must be and where the outputs must be. However, provided that the basic field data is
collected the interactive Technical Forms in the Project Generator will provide most of the
information required to assemble the design file.
Study and Design Guidelines I-3
13. Part 1: Introduction
1.3 Scope of Technical Manual
It is essential for TSO’s to also make field visits to:
™ Assess initial purpose of the project
™ Re-check overall objective and revise if project differs from its initial purpose
™ Facilitate in procuring external engineering services if needed
1.4 Contents of Technical Manual
The C/S Fund Technical Manual has the following parts.
Part 1: Introduction x This section which includes general
instructions on the use of the Technical
Manual
Part 2: Technical Forms x This describes the filling of Technical Forms
for infrastructure projects. (all other aspects
of project preparation and clearance are
described by the PIM). Filled examples are
included for the Technical Forms currently
loaded to the Project Generator. A full set of
unfilled forms is at Annex 1.
Part 3: Template Designs for Local x This describes how to understand and use
Infrastructure the template designs already loaded into the
Project Generator, and how to prepare new
template designs.
Part 4: Materials, Quantities & Costs x This presents the tables of materials and
quantities that the PIM requires to be used
for estimation of project costs. It also
includes explanation and an example of the
quantity tables associated with each
template design loaded to the generator.
Study and Design Guidelines I-4
14. Part 1: Introduction
Part 5: Study and Design Guidelines x This section provides basic guidance on the
technical aspects of study and design such
as slope stability, hydrological and hydraulic
considerations, choice of materials, etc.
Filling the Technical Forms guides most of
the design decisions and small ‘applet’
programs are called for simple design
calculations. The design guidance is for
about 90% of projects, the remaining 10%,
because they are unique or have special
circumstance will require ‘specialist design
input’.
Part 6: Specifications for Construction x This provides explanations and instruction
Materials and Works on use of the specifications use a tabular
format. This is followed by revised and
expanded tabulated specifications.
Part 7: Contract Supervision x This section explains the use of Construction
Check Lists. Examples of filled check lists
for two types of project are included. The full
set of 32 check lists is at Annex 3.

16. Part 2: Technical Forms
2 Technical Forms
2.1 Introduction
This section describes how to comply with the requirements of the Project Implementation
Manual (PIM) that for an infrastructure project the Technical Assistant prepares Technical
Information Forms. These forms are part of the core process of Project Preparation and
Technical Clearance.
It is required that the Technical Assistant will assist the Project Management Committee to
study the technical aspects of the project at the project site in close cooperation with the User
Groups and local community organizations to collect important and necessary information for
filling in the Project Information Form and Technical Information forms.
The general information and technical information will be used to prepare the project design.
The technical information is different according to the type of project. The different technical
forms are listed below:

Study and Design Guidelines I-7
17. Part 2: Technical Forms
It will be noted in the ‘status of form’ column that that there are “Forms to be prepared” for five
of the infrastructure group. This is because at the time of writing this manual there are no
templates loaded into the Project Generator for these groups and very few such projects have
ever been executed. This is anticipated to change in the future and it is intended to develop
additional Technical Forms at that time when the precise requirements for the forms will be
known.
2.2 Technical Forms are Mandatory
It is mandatory to complete in full the appropriate Technical Forms active in the Project
Generator. If the forms are not completed the Project Generator will not allow the project
preparation and technical clearance process to proceed.
2.3 Differences between Technical Forms
Each Technical Form is structured differently depending on the types and numbers of
infrastructure outputs for which it can be used and also the design processes necessary and
described in the design guidance.
2.4 Getting Design Guidance
Design guidance is provided at Part 6 of this manual.
As far as is possible the Technical Forms incorporate the design guidance to advise the on the
recommended output(s) and sizes where relevant. In some places there are MS Excel applets
linked to the forms that will do the calculations required. The limitations of the applets are
explained at Part 6 of this Manual.
Care has been taken to take a realistic approach so that the advice will be correct most of the
time; and certainly a big improvement on past practice for some classes of infrastructure which
are often built without any consideration of the design needs.
Design advice can still be overridden by the choosing a different output or size, which may be
for a justified reason.
2.5 Example Technical Forms
The remainder of this section describes the Technical Forms prepared to date and active in the
Project Generator. There is a flow chart for each form illustrating the process of filling the form
and where design calculations are made in the background.
Each flow chart is followed by an example of that form output by the generator. The
appearance and content of the output depends on how the form was filled in the Project
Generator, the recommendations of the design guidance, and the final choices made for the
infrastructure output. Blank unfilled examples of the Technical Forms are at Annex 1.
2.6 Transportation Infrastructure, Group Output Code 1010000
There are two types of Technical Form for Transport Infrastructure:
x Form T11 for roads
x Form T12 for road structures.
Generally only one Form T11 will be required provided the road width and surface type is the
same for the full length of the road. If it changes, e.g. because of increased traffic after a road
junction, then more than one T11 might be filled.
There must be one Form T12 for each road structure, e.g. if there is one 5 m concrete bridge
and three 1.0 m diameter pipe culverts then four T12 must be filled.
Study and Design Guidelines I-8
18. Part 2: Technical Forms
2.6.1 Form T11 Transport: Roads
Forms
Firstly, use Applet T11 to get advices on suitable road surface options based by:
x Entering into “Applet T11” Average Daily Traffic for existing road to determine MRD
Class A or B and a total of 24 hour from classified traffic count at busiest part of road.
x Entering DCP test results with GPS coordinates (Enter each DCP test result to Applet
T11 and get the 20 percentile DCP strength).
You will then get the advices on road type, surface and pavement thickness in the next
worksheet of Applet T11.
After that you must create output according to the advises from the Applet, but you can choose
another type of road surface and pavement thickness with appropriate reasons.
Then go to technical form T11 to answer the questions on:
x General project information – this fills automatically from information previously filled
immediately when creating project.
x Project location – enter the GPS coordinates of the start and finish of the road.
x Type of roadworks required – option for five descriptions covering new, rehabilitated,
and improvement by widening and/or upgraded surface.
x Length of road – is entered manually
x Road Classification – option for roads connecting district centre/communes/villages
determines the MRD road classification and hence the minimum recommended road
width.
x Existing structures and new structures required – manual entry describing existing
structures and anticipated number(s) and type(s) of new structure (the actual number,
type and size of structure is decided using Form and Applet T12).
x Type of existing road construction, its condition, and main cause of damage – a variety
of questions and options describing the existing road, what wheeled traffic can pass in
the wet and dry season, and the main cause of damage.
x Materials available for road construction – a variety of questions about locally available
road construction material, its quality, and haul distance to the site.
x Foundation soils – description options for type of soil.
x Proposed fill and cut slopes – Choose cut and fill slopes according to type of cut and fill
material (this is used for quantity calculations).
The form is completed by identifying responsibility for road maintenance.
Example
The example shown is for 4.25 km improvement of a sub-tertiary road Type ST3.
For this example the attachments generated by the Project Generator will be:
1. Template 1010102 drawings together with a profile pro-forma drawing in AutoCAD file
used with Excel spreadsheet.
2. Spreadsheet for calculation of quantities to allow calculation of cost estimate (see Part 4
of this Technical Manual).

2.6.2 Form T12 Transport: Structures
Forms
Firstly, use Applet T12 to get advice on suitable type and size of drainage structure by:
x Choosing the structure type envisaged, and changing it if it will be different from the
recommended structure after filling hydrology and hydraulic data.
x Filling hydrology and hydraulic data – details of the catchment draining to the structure if
this can be determined (area, elevation of stream bed for slope, catchment soils,
vegetation, land use and whether in a normal or high rainfall area).
After that you must create output according to the advice from the Applet, but you can choose
another type and size of drainage structure with appropriate reasons. (NOTE: It is strongly
recommended not to select a smaller type and size of structure than advised).
Then go to technical form T12 to answer the questions on:
x General project information – this fills automatically from information previously filled
immediately when creating project.
x Project location – by entering the GPS coordinates of the structure the Project Generator
creates a location plan.
x Road classification and standard – the road classification, standard and width is entered
manually, but if Form T12 has been generated by a Form T11 then the information is
entered the same as the road form.
x Scope of Works – requires information on the type, size and condition of the existing
structure if there is one.
x Materials available for structure construction – a variety of questions about available
structure construction material, its quality, and haul distance to the site.
x Foundation soils including results for DCP tests – description options for type of soil and
DCP test results with GPS coordinates (Possibly enter each DCP test result to Applet
T11 and get the 20 percentile DCP strength).
x Required hydraulic capacity of structure – the design flow and velocity from Applet T12
or engineer.
Example
The example shown is for one of the replacement pipe culverts on the previous example Form
T11 for a road.
For this example the attachments generated by the Project Generator will be:
1. Template drawing for output code 1010303 (see Part 3 of this Technical Manual)
2. Quantities table to allow calculation of cost estimate (see Part 4 of this Technical

2.7 Irrigation System, Group Output Code 1020000
There are three types of Technical Form for Irrigation Systems:
x Form T21 for Irrigation: Project
x Form T22 for Irrigation: Earthwork
x Form T23 for Irrigation: Structure.
Irrigation is generally the most complex and also usually the least successful infrastructure
output supported by the C/S Fund.
Form T21 is used to establish the requirements and constraints for irrigation. Even if the
proposed output(s) are only an element of a larger irrigation system, it is strongly advised to
complete a Form T21 to define the requirements for the C/S Fund investment. This form is
required only one time for one irrigation system.
Form T22 is used for irrigation earthworks; these can be dams or dykes, canals or drains.
There must be a separate T22 for each earthwork, e.g. if a project comprises a dam and two
canals there must be three T22.
Form T23 is for irrigation structures, e.g. spillway, head regulator, cross regulator, culvert, etc.
There must be a separate T23 for each structure, e.g for the dam and canals above there may
be one spillway, one head regulator, two cross regulators and two culverts requiring six T23.
2.7.1 Form T21 Irrigation: Project
Form
Form T21 requires answers for questions on:
x General project information – this fills automatically from information previously filled
immediately when creating project.
x Project location – by entering the GPS coordinates of the structure (for irrigation projects
choose an identifiable location, e.g. the dam across a stream).
x Description of the project – manual entry summarising details of the project, if the output
is part of a larger project, describe the larger project and the purpose the output will
serve in relation to that project.
x Farmer Water User Community (FWUC) – questions establishing whether there is an
existing FWUC or whether farmers are prepare to form one.
x Operation and maintenance responsibilities – manual entry for proposed operation and
maintenance of the project (Note: failure to implement operation and maintenance
procedures is a primary cause of failure of C/S Fund irrigation investments).
x Irrigation system requirement – these questions establish what the community expects
from the project, in both the dry and wet season.
x Flooding – questions about flooding establish if, when and for how long the irrigated
fields flood each year because this determines the periods and quantities of irrigation
water required (remember that paddy rice is traditional grown on land that floods part of
each year).
x Existing irrigation systems – these questions establish the existing irrigation systems,
their condition, whether they work and the perceived cause of problems.
x Water resources – these questions establish where the irrigation water will come from,
what periods of the year it is available, and how it will be delivered to the fields.
Study and Design Guidelines I-23
33. Part 2: Technical Forms
x Rainfall records – the nearest available rainfall record should be entered, each province
should keep on file and update annually the rainfall records so that they are available for
such purpose.
At this stage use applet T21 to calculate the irrigation water requirement on a monthly basis; it
is only necessary to enter the catchment area and chose the month of planting, and then copy
the answer from Appet to the generator.
If it is a reservoir project the applet determines:
x reservoir volume required;
x whether the reservoir is large enough;
x water surplus/deficit downstream before project;
x water surplus/ deficit downstream after project;
x whether the reservoir has a negative impact on irrigation downstream;
x the percentage reduction in water passed downstream; and
x whether the impact downstream is acceptable.
If it is a river intake project the applet determines:
x whether there is enough water at the river intake;
x water surplus/deficit downstream before project;
x water surplus/deficit downstream after project;
x whether the river intake has a negative impact on irrigation downstream;
x the percentage reduction in water passed downstream; and
x whether the impact downstream acceptable.
It is probable that at the first attempt there will be too little water for the reservoir or river intake
proposal to work. The planting date, irrigated area and other design inputs can be adjusted to
find the best solution.
Do not be surprised if a solution is not possible, especially in locations outside the
Mekong floodplain. In many such places the landscape and rainfall patterns are
such that reliable supplementary irrigation by traditional methods is impossible to
achieve.
A final choice is made confirming the ‘work proposed for the irrigation project’.
Example
The example shown is for repair a Khmer Rouge earth dam, and canals for supplementary
irrigation of wet season rice. The work includes a new reservoir spillway and new head
regulator using medium size water gate.
For this example the attachments generated by the Project Generator will be:
1. 4No Form T22 (for one dam and three canals)
2. 7No Form T23 (for seven structures)

It will make the reservoir work, it will store water for later in the season and help
control flooding. The canal will deliver water to the fields.
27. Do you have any other comments relevant to the proposed irrigation project?
The community does not want to pay to form a FWUC, they say they can manage

2.7.2 Form T22 Irrigation: Earthwork
Forms
Firstly, create output of dam, dyke, canal or drain then open Technical Form T22 which requires
answers for questions on:
x General project information – this fills automatically from information previously filled
immediately when creating project.
x Project location – enter the GPS coordinates of the start and finish of the earthwork.
x Description of earthwork – select from choice of: dam, dyke, canal or drain, also select
whether it is: new, improve, repair or maintenance.
x Traffic use of earthwork – these questions determine whether the earthwork will be used
as a track or road and therefore the required crest width and surfacing (note: it is
common for embankments to serve a dual purpose as a public road and irrigation
earthwork, this complicates maintenance because traffic damage can compromise
irrigation operations.
x Condition of existing dams and dykes – if the earthwork is a dam or dyke the condition
must be entered manual and then a choice made from a list of common causes of
damage.
x Condition of existing canal and drain - if the earthwork is a canal and drain the condition
must be entered manual and then a choice made from a list of common causes of
damage.
x Soils – select either the soils that will be use as (a) fill or (b) excavated for canals or
drains. The advises whether the material is suitable as fill, safe fill or cut slopes, and
whether canals or drains should be lined are provided next to the choices.
x Availability of fill material – if the earthwork is a dam or dyke answers on the type,
questions must be answered concerning the quality, location and distance from site of fill
materials.
x Design of dam or dyke – if the earthwork is a dam or dyke questions the design water
level must be entered, the freeboard to calculate earthwork crest level, whether the
earthwork is a road, the crest width and road surfacing, the upstream and downstream
slopes, the method of slope protection for each slope, the class, thickness and filter
requirements if rock riprap is used on the upstream slope.
x Capacity of canal – Manually multiply the flow rate of canal to the irrigated areas. A
default flow of 2 l/s/ha to the area of fields supplied is used but can be overridden. If the
canal is supplied by pumps the hours pumped each day must be entered to calculate the
pumping rate.
x Capacity of drain – Manually multiply the flow rate of canal to the irrigated areas. A
default flow of 3.5 l/s/ha to the area of fields drained is used but can be overridden.
There are some questions to establish the concept for drainage (this is often overlooked
and becomes another cause for failure). If the drain receives flow from a larger
catchment area, details of this catchment must be entered in the same way as Form T12
Road: Structure in Applet T22 External catchment flow. The required flow capacity of
the drain is the sum of the flow from the fields and that from a larger catchment area.
x Hydraulic design of canal or drain – Having established the required capacity of the
canal or drain the hydraulic calculations are the same and the same applet is used for
both types of channel. It is necessary to enter the upstream and downstream bed levels,
the side slopes and bed width, the freeboard. The calculation is iterative. A water depth
is entered: if it is too small Applet T22 instructs to ‘Increase depth’; if it is too large the
Study and Design Guidelines I-33
43. Part 2: Technical Forms
Applet instructs to ‘Decrease depth’; if the depth is correct (within a band of tolerance)
the Applet prints ‘Depth OK’. The Applet then outputs the: minimum height of banks
above bed level; width between tops of bank; and velocity of design flow.
x Responsibility for operation and maintenance – these questions check whether there is
a FWUC to take responsibility for design and maintenance and if not who will carry out
design and maintenance.
Example
The example shown is for rehabilitation of a Khmer Rouge canal downstream from a reservoir.
But in this example the canal must also operate as a drain. Therefore it is necessary to
calculate the required capacities as both a canal and a drain; then use the larger of the two
flows for the hydraulic design of the channel.
For this example the attachments generated by the Project Generator will be:
1. Template drawing(s) when available for chosen output code(s) (See Part 3 of this
Technical Manual).
2. Spreadsheet for calculation of earthwork quantities (See Part 4 of this Technical
Manual).
3. Quantities table to allow calculation of cost estimate (See Part 4 of this Technical
Manual).
4. Specification (see Part 6 of this Technical Manual).
5. Construction check lists (see Part 7 of this Technical Manual).
The flow chart and example Project Generator output follow below.
