Very soon, around 50 lakh citizens from the districts of Ballia and Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh will get access to safe and potable drinking water.
The Water & Effluent Treatment Business of L&T Construction has secured orders from the State Water & Sanitation Mission to develop a water supply scheme for the Hanumanganj multi-group of villages in the state.
The project is part of a larger scheme of water supply projects planned by the State Government with an objective to provide piped drinking water to every household (under Jal Jeevan Mission).
The scope of the projects include design and construction of 1 intake structure, 1 water treatment plant of capacity 148 MLD, transmission and distribution pipelines of 5534 Kms, 13 clear water reservoirs of aggregate capacity 25 ML, 504 overhead service reservoirs of aggregate capacity 115.4 ML, 13 pumphouses, electromechanical & instrumentation works and 10 years operation & maintenance. The automation aspect measurement of input & output water quantity and quality through SCADA and other instrumentation works, L&T Construction said in a statement.
With the project, the state government has box ticked Goal 6 of the UNSDGs (Ensure access to water and sanitation for all) which is aimed to offer access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene–the most basic human need for health and well-being.
In yet another unrelated development, L&T Construction has also secured an order from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for make-up water system & ash disposal cum ash water recirculation system (AWRS) package at Talcher. The scope of work includes design, engineering, supply, construction, erection, and testing & commissioning as a part of NTPC’s expansion plan of Talcher Thermal Power Plant.
The make-up water system is a critical component for efficient power plant operations, ensuring continuous and reliable water supply. The Ash Disposal cum AWRS Package is equally important, providing a robust and sustainable solution for managing and disposing of ash generated during the power generation process.
