The project aims to irrigate 103,825 hectares, utilizing 327 Mm³ of water from the Wainganga River and 363 Mm³ from irrigation tanks in the command area. We have been tasked with the command area survey, planning, design, and drawings for Stage II of the Dhapewada Lift Irrigation Scheme. To date, we have completed the survey of 112,578 hectares, identifying the alignments for a 208 km rising main and 421 km of canal network.
These surveys were conducted using modern technologies such as satellite imaging and total station equipment. We have also designed 239 canal regulatory and cross-drainage structures, adhering to government guidelines. In addition, we have surveyed existing minor irrigation tanks in the command area, revising the alignment of existing canals and improving the design of the canal distribution network using modern design techniques down to the field level.
We have been entrusted with constructing the Metepar, Nawtala, and Chikhlapar branch canals, including the necessary structures along these canals. In the execution of the Nawtala Branch canal, we successfully tackled a challenging 2 km section through deep cutting. We employed the cut-and-cover method, using a reinforced cement concrete (RCC) box structure to minimize extensive excavation. Modern construction techniques, such as batching plants, transit mixers, and concrete chutes, were used to ensure efficiency and precision.
In addition to providing irrigation, the project supplies drinking water to Vishakhapatnam and surrounding areas, generates hydropower, and offers navigation facilities. It also diverts 2.47 TMC of water from the Godavari to the Krishna Basin. We have been awarded the Project Management Consultancy services by WAPCOS.
As part of this prestigious project, we oversees the construction of key components, including the 54-meter-high spillway, a 1,128-meter spill channel, and 48 radial gates measuring 16 m x 20 m. We manage daily progress, quality control, billing, and supervision of all construction activities under the guidance of WAPCOS, a public sector unit of the Ministry of Water Resources. This vital project is regarded as the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh, offering essential water resources and energy to the state.
a) Medigadda Barrage near Kaleswaram
b) Annaram Barrage downstream of the confluence of the Manair and Godavari rivers
c) Sundilla Barrage downstream of Yellampally Barrage
We are proud to contribute its technical expertise and capabilities to all components of the project. The site office is equipped with a Quality Control Laboratory to ensure precise testing for earthwork and embankments.
We are constructing the right-side guide bund on both the upstream and downstream sides of the Medigadda Barrage. This includes earthwork for the embankment, riprap pitching, rock toes, toe drains, and other ancillary works, all executed using modern earth-moving equipment.
We are working on the approach channel for the Annaram Pump House, which involves excavation and cement concrete lining. Additionally, they are constructing the head regulator with nine gates to control water flow into the pump house. The concreting and lining works are performed using advanced equipment like batching plants, transit mixers, and lining pavers.
Similar to Medigadda, we are building the right-side guide bund on the upstream and downstream sides of the Sundilla Barrage, including embankment, stone pitching, rock toes, toe drains, and trench excavation. All activities are carried out with strict quality control, utilizing modern machinery.
Located near Ghodazari in Nagbhid Taluka, Chandrapur District, Maharashtra, this project involves the construction of earthwork and structures for the Ghodazari Sub-Branch No. 1. The work includes the construction of an aqueduct, which is a technically challenging task. We successfully completed the aqueduct using modern techniques and steel formwork for precision.
