5.0 POWER REQUIREMENT:

The Power required 12 MW for the proposed project will be sourced from Tamil Nadu
Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO). 6 Nos. of DG Set of capacity
2000 KVA shall be used as power back up in case of effecting supply during power failure.
Being a high capacity DG sets, the same shall be housed inside the Utility room, wherein the
entire walls of the room shall be acoustically treated to ensure no noise propagation outside.
Stack Height Calculation:

For 2000 KVA:
Height of the stack = Height of the building + (0.2 * √DG capacity)
Height of the stack = 10.5 + (0.2 * √2000)
Height of the stack = 10.5 + (0.2 * 44.72)
Height of the stack = 10.5 + 8.95
Height of the stack = 19.50 m

However, the DG sets shall be connected to scrubbers for neutralization and absorption of SOx
emissions and a clean gas shall be let to the atmosphere through appropriate common stacks
at an elevation of minimum 20 mts from the ground level.
The diesel requirement of about 10000 liters [ 10 KL ] shall be stored in underground CS tanks
adopting and complying to the explosives act and shall be duly installed after securing the
required CCoE approvals.

9.0 GROUND WATER POTENTIAL:

The objective of the study is the assessment of ground water potential for the proposed site.
Further Planning for rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge of ground water will have a
positive impact towards the ground water potential.
The source of fresh water for the domestic purpose will be met from CMWSSB. The work
includes planning for maximum possibility of rain water harvesting and recharge to ground
water regime.
GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SOIL TYPES:

Chennai district forms part of coastal plains of Tamil Nadu. Major part of the district is having
flat topography with very gentle slope towards east. The altitudes of land surface vary from 10

m above MSL in the west to sea level in the east. Fluvial, marine and erosional landforms are
noticed in the district. Marine transgression and regressions and neo-tectonic activity during
the recent past have influenced the morphology and resulted in various present landforms.
Marina beach is the most natural beach in the world with a width varying from 150 to 600 m
and a length of 5.6 km, also encroached by human activity. Theosophical society, located on the
banks of Adayar river mouth is the only area with well-preserved natural coastal morphology,
sand dunes, beach ridges, flora etc.
The Site is already inside a full developed Industrial Estate [ perhaps one of the oldest
industrial estates of Chennai ] housed Exide Industries for a long time [ more than 4 decades ]
and apparently discontinued the production for over a decade now. The site handed over to us
currently is plain and barren with few trees.
INFILTRATION CAPACITY OF SOIL:
The natural recharge from rainfall largely depends on the soil type, texture and gradient of
surface.
Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. Infiltration
Rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which a particular soil is able to absorb rainfall
or irrigation. It is measured in inches per hour or millimeters per hour. The rate decreases as
the soil becomes saturated. If the precipitation rate exceeds the infiltration rate, runoff will
usually occur unless there is some physical barrier. It is related to the saturated hydraulic
conductivity of the near – surface soil. The rate of infiltration can be measured using an
infiltrometer.
S. No. PLACE SOIL TYPE RATE OF INFILTRATION (mm/hr)

1 North Silty Sand 5 - 10
2 South Silty Sand 5 – 10
3 East Silty Sand 5 – 10
4 West Silty Sand 5 - 10

According to the international classification, the infiltration capacity of soil is Moderate and
hence the implementation of the rainwater harvesting system will definitely enhance the
ground water potential of the area to a smaller extent.
TOTAL WATER REQUIREMENT:

The Total Water requirement of the proposed project is about 564 KLD, in which about 249
KLD of fresh water is utilized towards domestic purposes. It is proposed to be met through
CMWSSB and therefore the Rain water harvesting, and recharging will have a Positive impact
on Ground Water Potential.
Rainwater Harvesting and Artificial Recharge to ground water is gaining importance due to
indiscriminate withdrawal of ground water for multiple uses. Water bearing formation were
become over exploited if the ground water withdrawal exceeds the amount of natural
recharge. Due to which irreparable environmental consequences were observed. Over draft of
ground water leads to drying up of open wells, deepening of water level in the bore wells,
change in quality of water, increase in cost pumping and ecological imbalance. Hence
harvesting of surplus run-off occurring during monsoon and artificial recharge to ground
water becomes inevitable.
Rainwater harvesting can be done by harvesting of roof top rainwater and collection of surface
run-off. Recharge to ground water by rain water harvesting has proved to the most successful
methods of water conservation techniques in many parts of country. The methods and design
are specific to the site condition.
With the above condition as prevailing at site the consideration on the rain water harvesting is
as follows;
The roof water shall be collected separately from terrace through secluded down comers with
all the down comers routed to a rain water collection sump positioned at appropriate locations
matching with the plumbing scheme of the proposed development. Preferably the sumps shall
have interconnectivity to avoid pumping requirements. Rain water collected from other areas
viz., hard scapes, path ways, inclusive of the garden area shall be routed through storm water
drains provided with on line percolation pits for possible percolation prior to being discharged
to the external storm water drain available.
ESTIMATION OF QUANTUM OF RAINWATER HARVESTING:

Estimation of harvestable rainwater can be done in many methods. Use of run-off co-efficient is
one of the simplest methods to assess the quantity of rainwater harvested within the area. The
effective rainfall is such that the amount of rainfall which can build up surface runoff after
satisfying the soil moisture requirement and evaporation loss. It is assumed that about 85%
total rainfall is considered to be the effective rainfall.
RUN OFF CALCULATION:

PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND POST CONSTRUCTION SCENARIO:
Rational formula for calculating runoff, Q = (C I A) / 360

Q = Runoff in m3/sec
I = Intensity of rainfall in mm/ hr
A = Drainage area in hectares
C = Co-efficient of run off as below
Run-off co-efficient for various types of surfaces

Open grounds, unpaved street 0.30
Parks, lawns, gardens
Macadam roads, pavements 0.70
Asphalt pavements
Water tight roof surface 0.90

Q1hr = 0.1739 × 3600 = 626 m3/hr
Considering the first flush loss @ 15% = 94 m3/hr
Roof Top Water that is available for harvesting = 626 – 94 = 532 m3/hr
Roof top runoff directed to 5 nos. of rainwater sump of capacity 50 KL. Surface runoff
is diverted to the percolation pits (30 Nos.) with 250 mm diameter along the site
boundary. However, the exact number of percolation pits shall be validated through a
detailed infiltration study prior to commencing work at site.

Figure 5.0: Rain Water Harvesting Pit
WATER BALANCE:
The expected amount of rainwater harvested / recharged over the project area is 50 KLD.
With the implementation of extensive Rainwater Harvesting and Ground water recharging at
site would only have a positive impact on the Ground Water Potential.
10.0 NATURAL DRAINAGE:

Adyar River originates at the confluence (Thiruneermalai) of two streams that drains the
upstream area of Chembarambakkam tank. It is a small river of 42 km length and a catchment
of 800 Sq. km. The river carries flow all through 365 days of a year with an average discharge
of 89.43 MCM/Year at Kattipara cause way. It drains the southern part of the district and
remains flooded during monsoon. During the high tides, the backwaters from the Bay of Bengal
enter inland up to 3 – 4 km. Apparently the site is not coming under the tidal influence and is
almost more than 8km away from the bay of Bengal.
The Topographical survey of the project site (enclosed) shows a natural gradient slope from
South to North. The Channel from Adyar River flows on the North Side of the Site at a distance
of 12 m from the project boundary. The Project site is confined by compound wall all around.
The project is not likely to alter or obstruct any natural drainage courses. There is no
natural watercourse passing through the project site. Hence the project does not
involve alteration of natural drainage systems.

Figure 6.0 (a): Terrain View showing Rivers, Catchment Area and Sub Catchment Area
As the site is situated in the bank of Adayar waterway, the project was examined in two
perspectives, one is to comprehend the effect of the new proposed site on the stream and also,
the impact of surge to the proposed site .

The measures Planned to avoid the impact of the proposed development on the river streams
are:
1. The Development consists of 3 Basements and requires dewatering activity during the
course of Excavation. The same shall be dewatered and the muck will be disposed off as per
the directives of the Local Planning Authority / CMWSSB.
2. Adopting effective Storm water management system by providing storm water drain with
desilting chamber, rainwater harvesting structures, rain water storage tanks etc.
3. The Maximum amount of surface run off and the roof water generated from the proposed
project site is planned to be utlised for domestic purpose.
4. Plan to Schedule civil works during non-monsoon season, to the maximum extent possible.
5. Ensure drainages and water bodies within the construction zones are kept free of
obstructions.
6. Keep loose soil material and stockpiles out of drains, flow-lines and watercourses.
7. Re-use/utilize, to maximum extent possible, excavated materials.
8. Proper care would be taken during the construction phase by providing mobile toilets and
periodic cleaning would be carried out thereby not polluting the surrounding environment.
9. During operational phase the sewage water will be treated through STP in addition a
tertiary treatment would be done using Ultra Filtration to ensure the water quality is well
within the prescribed norms.
In addition to the above, the mitigation measures spelt by the Public Works Department of
Govt of Tamil Nadu, who governs the development around the ADAYAR RIVER area shall be
complied.
The Analysis of Impact of the flooding condition on the proposed site are as follows.

The present location of the Site is not identified for Flooding Levels as per the GIS. However on
rarity Occasions with heavy rainfall as envisaged during the 2015, it is prone to Flooding.
Floods hit the Chennai City due to heavy rainfall in its environs during December 2015. Adyar
River (748 sq.km approx.) that flows through the Chennai city was flooded due to high
intensity of rainfall.
site
Flood Inundation (Northern part of Chennai, up to 20 km from the coast)

Source: nrsc / ISRO Version - 1.2

Adyar River: Total rainfall of 335 mm took place between 21 to 23 Nov 2015 with highest
magnitude of 240 mm on 23rd Nov 2015. Immediately after this event, unprecedented rainfall
of 445 mm took place between Nov 29 to 03 Dec with the highest magnitude of 340 mm on 01
Dec 2015. As a result, peak flood discharges of 2000 m3 /sec and 2850 m3 /sec occurred on
23rd and 01st Dec 2015 respectively. Due to immediate consecutive two peak flood discharges,
the floodplains of the river got submerged heavily and created huge damage in the floodplains
of the city. Depths of flood in the Adyar River floodplains are found to vary between 0.5 to 5 m.
velocities of flow in the main channel are found to be 0.25 to 2.25 m/sec, and along the flood
banks it is found to be 0.1 to 0.9 m/sec.
From the above it is observed that the maximum level of water level raised is 5m near the flood
plains, hence, Compound wall for the project site shall be strengthened and raised to a height
more than the maximum flood level of 5m to avoid the water intrusion into the site. Proper
Drainage mechanism shall also be made in place to ease out the stagnated water at the earliest.
The structure shall be constructed inview of the soil morphology as shown below as well as a
detalied soil investigation of the site shall be done.

12.0 TRAFFIC CONGESTION STUDY:

The proposed Development is abutting the 12 m wide Alandur. The main access to the site will
be through Alandur Road. Peak traffic occurs between 8:30 and 10:30 and again between
18:00 and 22:00. To assess the existing traffic density, traffic counts were carried out at three
points on Alandur Road @ Water Works Road Junction and Alandur Road @ Jones Road
Junction. To provide background values of traffic density and correlate such data to the levels
of air pollution along the road, vehicular traffic counts were performed on either side of the
road. As the proposed project is a IT / ITES development it is expected to operate round the
clock in shifts and there will be an incremental increase in traffic during the operational phase
of the project.
The entry and exists to the site will be provided on 12 m wide Road on the Eastern Side of the
project and will be clearly marked so as to facilitate easy movement from Site. The internal
circulation plan will be clearly regulated in order to avoid traffic congestion within the site and
on the road.
Vehicular traffic on these roads includes heavy vehicles, light vehicle, three wheelers and two
wheelers. Major traffic flow occurs between 8:30 and 10:30 and again between 18:00 and
22:00. The additional traffic due to the proposed project would also occur in this time duration
only. A summary of the data is presented in Below Table.

The results of the monitoring program indicated the following:
Alandur Road is the interconnecting road of Annasalai and also has various interconnecting
roads to Guindy and Saidapet and also serving as the feeder to nearby Residences, Schools and
Offices.
 Educational buses, private operated buses for regular commuting constitute 10 - 15%
 Heavy vehicles, which are implying on the road due to various developments / Waste
Yard in the vicinity @ 10%
 Light vehicles constitute the maximum, with 50% during the peak hours
 The incremental peak traffic density expected in this road after the completion and
occupation of the project in 2022 is approximately 25%
 Average traffic flow comparison at the two locations both on weekdays and weekends is
shown in the Table

Note: *Location 1 – Alandur Road (@ Water Works Road Junction), Location 2 –

Alandur Road (@ Jones Road Junction)

Traffic Pattern:
The site is accessed mainly through Alandur Road. The traffic movement along the road is
higher during peak hours, due to the movement of vehicles to and fro Guindy / Anna Salai and
vice cersa. Road geometry data of the link roads was surveyed and traffic flow capacity of these
roads was calculated and expressed as PCU/h according to Indian Traffic Volume and the ratio
of volume to capacity is assessed, were PCU/h is based on the peak flow of traffic at the
junctions.
Roadway Congestion Index (RCI) was selected to quantify congestion for this study. RCI can be
calculated by the following equation:

Σ(Vehicle per Peak Hour)*(Vehicle per Peak Hour * Link Length)
(Link Capacity)
RCI =
Σ(Vehicle per Peak Hour * Link Length)
As per IRC the Link capacity for Four Lane of 16 m wide road is 4000. The RCI was found to be
0.25 as per current scenario which rises to 0.30 on account of post development scenario. The
impact will be minimal as the Kundrathur Road has several intersections and link roads all
along connecting various intermediate places. Also adequate care will be taken to ensure no
vehicles been parked outside the site area thereby not interrupting the regular traffic flow.

The addition does not make any significant change for traffic movement at any given time.
Predicted Traffic Scenario during operation of the proposed Development:

Due to the proposed development, total population of 13057 Nos. including visitors is
expected. Total parking provisions of 1380 Car and 2840 Two wheelers will be made within
the Development.

Level of Service (LOS) due to the Proposed Expansion

• It is assumed 2:00 hrs distribution of vehicles in the morning and 4:00 hrs in the
evening as the peak ingress and egress to the activity center
• i.e. 1380 PCU’s assume to enter during 2:00 hrs and exit during 4:00 hrs
• i.e. 1380/4 = 300 - 350 PCU’s per hour either will enter or exit
While comparing the Existing V/C Ratio with the Modified Ratio, it is observed that there will
be an incremental impact on the traffic flow pattern along the approach roads due to proposed
construction of the Development. Since the development is provided with individual Entry /
Exit Points mainly with a bell-mouth approach with sufficient space for temporary stop before
gaining entry to the approach road there will not be any direct impact on the approach road
even during the peak hour.
Also, the present development is located in the prime Area [Alandur] near to Guindy. The
proposed Development shall utilize the Existing Infrastructure as such and the existing Roads
has many intersections and the problems of Traffic Congestions would be eased off. The Tamil
Nadu Transportation Map showing the NH, SH and others is as below:
