At the proposed Bridge Site, the following data are available;
           a) High Flood Level, HFL                    =            101.551 m
           b) Lowest Bed Level, LBL                    =             96.998 m                                                   H.F.L.= 101.551m

E.G.L. at Pier P1                                      =            101.551 m
Calculation of height of frame at Pier locations
The lowest E.G.L. at Pier                              =            101.551   m              Pile
Placing bottom of pile cap at                          =             94.901   m
Top of pile cap level                                  =             96.701   m
Top of Pier cap level                                  =            102.201   m
Top of bearing level                                   =            102.501   m
Hence, 102.501 - 96.701                                =              5.800   m
Height of frame at Pier locations                      =              5.800   m
Height of Pier with cap                                =              5.500   m
Height of Pile-cap                                     =              1.800   m
