Kanithi Balancing Reservoir-2 Project Inaugurated
KBR-2 reservoir was constructed by executing 73 lakh Cum of earthwork, which included 37 lakh cum of hard rock excavation.
L&T Construction’s Water & Effluent Treatment Business has successfully completed the Kanithi Balancing Reservoir-2 project and handed over the infrastructure to Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. (RINL) - Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, for water storage. On April 7, 2019, the prestigious project was inaugurated by Mr. P.K. Rath, Chairman and Managing Director, RINL VSP, along with Mr. Hari Narayanan I.A.S, Commissioner, GVMC, Visakhapatnam. Mr. K. Saravanan, Head-Industrial Water Segment and Mr. P. Muthupandian, Project Manager, and the entire Project Team along with various dignitaries of GVMC, RINL VSP and WAPCOS Ltd graced the occasion. The existing KBR-1 reservoir inside the Steel Plant could not retain adequate water because of leakages and heavy evaporation losses due to structural disintegration over its vast surface area. In fact, KBR-1 could only retain water for a maximum of 20 days, which is less than half of the intended water retention capacity. This severely affected the steel production capacity of RINL. The KBR-2 project executed by L&T draws its significance due to its compactness and high capacity. Constructed over 225 acres of land (1/3rd of KBR-1), KBR-2 provides a storage capacity of 12.3 Million Cumecs of water. It is 1070 m long, 650 m wide and 25.3 m deep. The project will aid the steel plant in maintaining its current production capacity of 6.3 Million Tons per annum (2015-16) and will also augment the future production plan of 11.7 Million Tons per annum, thereby meeting RINL’s vision for 2021. Furthermore, L&T completed and handed over the reservoir to RINL VSP just before the summer to support their production, demonstrating its client centricity and commitment to just in time delivery. KBR-2 reservoir was constructed by executing 73 lakh Cum of earthwork, which included 37 lakh cum of hard rock excavation. Despite the huge volume of hard rocks encountered during excavation, the core works were completed in a record time of 24 months. In addition to the reservoir, the project comprised construction of the 2.2 km canal and a 40m high pump house.
