Projects in Water Resources Infrastructure
Jangi Thopan Powari Hydroproject
Project Summary:
The 780MW Jangi Thopan Powari Hydroelectric Project is a run-of-the-river type project in River Sutlej, located at Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The project envisages construction of a 48m high concrete gravity dam and an underground power house connected with a headrace tunnel of 12km of 10m diameter. FGS was involved in the preliminary assessment and prefeasibility proposal of HRT scheme by TBM and Slope Stability & Kinematic Analysis of the dam site. The tunnel has a cross-sectional area of 80sq.m.
Project Owner: Sutlej Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (SJVNL)
Scope: Survey, Geological Mapping, Geo-physical Testing, SRT, Slope Stability & Kinematic Analysis, Study of Alignments
Sunni Dam Project
Project Summary:
Sunni Dam, located in Shimla, is a run-of-the-river scheme utilizing the discharge of Satluj River between the Kol dam on the downstream and Luhri Stage-II HE Project on the upstream. The concrete gravity dam is 95m high and 178m long. FGS was involved in Numerical Modeling, Kinematic & Slope Stability Analysis of mining area including dam slopes.
