Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (PART 2) | Irrigating 1 lakh acres of land : CW Projects
Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project in Telangana is the World’s largest and most ambitious multi-stage lift irrigation project. It is a flagship project of the State Government for supplying water to the drought-prone upland regions of Telangana, Through lifts and pumps into a huge and complex system of reservoirs, water tunnels, pipelines, and canals. With state-of-the-art pumps, motors and other equipment at the heart of this irrigation system, the project will be lifting 2 thousand million cubic feet (TMC) of water daily with the help of 139 MW mammoth pumps. The magnitude of this massive project can be gauged from the fact that involves 1.8 crore cubic meters of earthwork excavation, 18.5 lakh cubic meters of concreting work, 1.35 lakh metric tonne of steelwork, 5.5 lakh square meters of formwork and over two lakh fifty thousand metric tonne (2,50,000 MT - for the screen) of hydro-mechanical works. The power requirement at each substation varies from 0.45 megawatt to 973 megawatt. The total power required for the project is about 4627.24 megawatt. The project comprises three barrages namely: Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla. All of them have their own unique construction story. For example: • Medigadda Barrage is 1,625 m in length with 84 giant piers, each 110 m long, 4 m or 6 m wide and 25 m high. During the construction of this barrage twenty thousand metric tonne (25,000 MT- for the screen) of steel, gates were fabricated in 12 months and 85 gates were erected in 4 months • Annaram Barrage was built within the record time of 24 months. The Barrage made use of secant piling in the cut-off foundation for the first time in the word for barrage construction. twelve lakh cubic metre (12,00,000 cu m - for the screen) of concreting was done for the entire project. Fifty five thousand metric tonne (55,000 MT - for the screen) of reinforcement steel was used. 80 lakh cubic metre (8,00,000 cu m - for the screen) of earthwork was moved. 1,500 tonne of cement consumed on average per day. • For Sundilla Barragethe total concrete consumption was about ten lakh sixty thousand cubic metre (10,60,000 cu m - for the screen) with a steel component of 53,000 tonne. Further, structural steel for the radial gates consumed a massive 16,000 tonne and for the stop-log gates, 1,386 tonne. The Sundilla Barrage structure is 1,447-m-long.
