Relining of Indira Gandhi main canal
The Indira Gandhi Main Canal, one of India’s longest, plays a vital role in supplying water to the arid regions of Rajasthan and parts of Punjab. The canal stretches over 650 kilometers and supports both agricultural and drinking water needs. Our firm was responsible for relining a critical 3-kilometer stretch of the canal, with a budget of ₹18 crores. The project was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, adding to the complexity, as it had to be completed in 60 days while adhering to safety protocols. The relining was essential to reducing water seepage and ensuring the continuous flow of water to over 1.75 crore people and vast agricultural lands.
The Challenge Was
This project involved relining 3 kilometers of the Indira Gandhi Main Canal, addressing the twin challenges of reducing water losses and improving efficiency, all while managing pandemic-related constraints.
- Relining a 3-kilometer stretch of the canal
- Managing the project amid the COVID-19 pandemic
- Completing the project within a 60-day deadline
Our Solution Was
Despite the pandemic and the tight deadline, we mobilized a large workforce and implemented round-the-clock operations to complete the project on time. We followed stringent safety protocols and ensured that the project met the highest quality standards.
- Completed the relining within the 60-day period
- Reduced water seepage losses significantly
- Coordinated with government officials and followed strict COVID protocols
