300
MW Baspa-Il hydroelectric project is the largest
project to be commissioned in the private sector
in India. |
|
Its
barrage is at an elevation of 2520.50 metres, the
highest altitude for any such structure to come
up in India. Snowfall here is of the order of 4
to 5 metres and temperatures as low as ( -) 15 Degree
Celsius. |
|
|
56.70
km 400 kV transmission line (121 towers) passes
through an elevation ranging from 1500 to 2800 meters
in one of the most difficult terrain involving crossing
the valley 13 times and crossing river Satluj twice.
|
|
Electromechanical
and hydromechanical equipment for this project weighing
more than 20,000 tonnes had to be carted over 300
km in hilly terrain. |
|
Eight
bridges, spanning up to maximum of 132 metres, were
constructed at various locations between Wangtoo,
upstream of Nathpa on NH-22 and Kuppa (barrage site)
to cater for maximum loading of 70R. (Indian Road
Congress classification for bridges to carry wheeled
load of up to 100 tons) |
|
This
project has been engineered and executed totally
by the Group from concept to commissioning except
for the electromechanical and hydromechanical equipment
which were outsourced. Jaiprakash Associates Limited
(formerly JIL) undertook the execution while Jaypee
Ventures Limited were responsible for total consultancy
and engineering. |
