The works of providing UGD system involving 132 Kms of Network, construction of 2 FAL type STP's of 20 MLD and 8 MLD capacity was assigned to us as our most competitive Quote was lower than the second lowest bidder by more than Rs. 28 Crores. Raichur is very much true to its name as the Hard rock encountered during the laying of 126.87 Kms of Network was tough & resistant and is as per IS 135 Part 5 of 1987 termed as "VERY HARD ROCK" with compressive strengths in excess of 125 N/mm2.
In addition to our most competitive quote, the challenge of excavating this unusually hard rock was the toughest assignment of our construction career. The untiring resilience and relentless exuberance of our team in the face of unbreakable adversity and mounting financial losses combined with our ability to adapt and innovate led us to the use of special chemicals to split the indestructible hard rock.
Through all the hardships we had never allowed the work to stop in view of our timely commitment to commission and dedicate the long-awaited basic amenities of sewage collection, treatment and disposal to the deprived residents of this historical city.
