Project in Brief : The foundation comprised of a RCC raft (13.5m dia.X1.5m thick) and a RCC pedestal (11.5m dia.X 5.9m high). The top surface of concrete pedestal is subjected to a sustained temperature of 450o C. A total of 800 cum. of concreting was pumped in, in 73 uninterrupted hours.
Intake well cum pump house was designed to accommodate four vertical submersible pumps, each of 250-cum./ hour capacity.

The pump house was 7.4m X 7.4m X 6m in height.
