400 kV D/C (QUAD) JIGMELING - ALIPURDUAR Transmission Line (ASSAM PORTION)

Remarks:-

Due to prolonged monsoon period, working season remained minimum (5-6 months only) every year. Also underground water table being high, almost every location needed dewatering before and during the concreting work. In addition, local issues incl. extortion calls remained prominent during the entire course of the project resulting in major interruptions in daily work flow. Also Skipper, although being the other partner of the JV, took to execution of portion left by the lead partner after the later went bankrupt. The entire line was passing through forest corridor covering 43% of line length.

Construction of LlLO, one circuit of 400kV D/C Akal- Jodhpur (New) (Quad Moose) Line at Jaisalmer-2

Remarks:-

The transmission line was passing through remote areas of Jaisalmer district prone to severe sand-dunes and high intensity winds all along the day. Also during construction activities, severe obstructions from local people with the issue of different compensation policy in between Private TL lines and State Government Lines and frequent incidents of theft, hampered site activities on regular basis. The line was essential to feed the newly built Jaisalmer (2) S/S and utilize the power travelling from Akal S/S to Jodhpur.

Re-Alignment work of 400kV D/C Multi Circuit Transmission Line in Yelahanka Presidency University for PGCIL

220 kV & 132 kV Transmission Lines in Kaithal area

Remarks:-

This project marked our first presence in the State of Haryana. Main challenges include land being costly and highly productive, resistance from local people became prominent resulting in frequent work stoppage and continious involvement of local administration for day to day activities to complete the lines. Maximum of the land occupied round the year for agriculture works.

220 kV D/C Palampur - Hamirpur Transmission Line

Remarks:-

More Than 75% of the entire line passes through the hilly terrains including steep slopes and deep valleys. All the construction materials head-loaded to every site by manually and with the help of Mules. Encountering of hard rock strata in almost 80% locations during excavation, Unseasonal rain fall throughout the year and extreme cold weather situation during winters was a big challenge in the construction of line.
