Kaleswaram Project: Key equipment to reach project site in couple of days
The mega Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) is all set to witness another momentous event as key electro-mechanical equipment required for assembling pumps and motors of the massive pump house (under link 1 of the project works) is expected to reach project site in a couple of days.
Anantapur: The mega Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) is all set to witness another momentous event as key electro-mechanical equipment required for assembling pumps and motors of the massive pump house (under link 1 of the project works) is expected to reach project site in a couple of days.
Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd., (MEIL) has made all the arrangements to move the equipment to project site from various sea and airports. MEIL has been importing all the vital electro-mechanical equipment needed for erecting pump house of the prestigious Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation project. Consignments of equipment had already arrived from different countries at various sea ports and airports of the country. While some of them are still on transit.
As MEIL is racing against time in completing the crucial pump house works, some key electro-mechanical components are being air lifted notwithstanding the prohibitive costs involved. The equipment, shipped from various destinations in Europe, had already landed at Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai airports and also sea ports of Chennai and Mumbai.
MEIL has been working to obtain necessary clearances from Department of Customs and Port authorities to facilitate the transportation of equipment from ports. In a couple of days or two, electro-mechanical components of pump house will reach the project site. MEIL has made all the logistic arrangements like keeping ready heavy duty vehicles to transport the equipment from different ports to pump house site of Kaleswaram.
Various key components of KLIS pump house, such as impeller, shafts, bearings, shaft seal, pump cover, motors and other electro-mechanical parts had already arrived at project site. Some more equipment is scheduled to reach before end of this month Normally it takes not less than a month’s time for the equipment shipped from Hamburg port in Germany to reach an Indian port.
However, as the time plays a crucial role in the execution of the pump house works, MEIL has decided to airlift part of that equipment to save on time. Rest of the equipment shipped from Austria, Hamburg and Italian ports will reach Indian shores by July 7.
