Heavy Floods in Godavari Stall Polavaram Works

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: Attempts by the water resources department to continue the works of Polavaram project’s diaphragm wall even during the Godavari floods proved futile. The Polavaram project authorities planned to avoid any disruption to the ongoing works at the D-wall so as to expedite the completion of the project and set up the dewatering equipment with high capacity motors and even raised the upper cofferdam height to 44 from 42.5 metres to avoid floodwater’s entry to the work area in case of heavy floods in Godavari. They are focusing on paper work like attending to pending designs of some components of the project etc to get the mandatory approvals from the central water commission, the Polavaram project authority, the dam design review committee and other stakeholders. Polavaram superintending engineer Narasimha Murthy said, “Now, we are focusing more on pending designs of the project and also to resume the D-wall works once the water level recedes in the river, by using the dewatering equipment, based on viability.”
