REPORT FOR REHABILITATION AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ROAD SIDE

DRAINS TO DIVERT FLOOD WATER INTO THE WATER SPREAD AREA FOR
PROTECTING THE APPROACH ROAD AT URULIKKAL
ESTIMATE AMOUNT Rs: 22,48,000

The Parambikulam Aliyar Project (PAP) is a multipurpose and interstate river valley
project, which is an outcome of a hard and sustained work done by a band of enthusiastic and
dynamic Engineers, to divert the west flowing rivers and conveyance to the East side with the
series of Reservoirs, tunnels and conveyance media mainly to provide irrigation facilities to
the drought prone areas in Coimbatore, Erode and Tirupur Districts. In addition to irrigation
supply, the project contemplates generation of hydro power both in Tamil Nadu and Kerala
states and stabilization of existing irrigation systems.
SHOLAYAR DAM:
The Sholayar Reservoir, which is essentially a part of the comprehensive
Parambikulam Aliyar Project, act as a Heart of this project and benefits both Kerala and
Tamilnadu States.
The approach road leading to PH 1 Urulikkal Tunnel and Operating arragement at
Urulikkal is being maintained by Tunnel section, Sholayar Dam Sub Division, Sholayar
Nagar.
The PH I Tunnel Entry Urulikkal is equipped with hoisting arrangements for operating
Service and emergency gate through which water will be discharged to Power House I
Manampalli for power generation and after generation of power discharging water through
Parambikulam Dam.
The PH I Urulikkal tunnel entry road which is of 550.00 m in length and it is necessary
for operating the Intake shutter when ever need arises. The PH I tunnel entry road is a
bitumen road which was constructed during dam construction period. The approach road
witnesses rampant growth of jungle which is damaged throughout and the movement of
vehicles over the road is a very difficult task, especially at the time of flood. If it is not paved,
approaching PH I tunnel Intake Shutter at the firm of requirement will be a difficult task.
During flood time the rain water which was not drained properly and it may damages to the
road sides. There is no any existing drainage facility along the approach road is frequently
clogged and choked due to slipped earth. Also, at the time of rainy reason, there is a rampart
growth of vegetation which at sometimes fully covered and blocks the running rainwater. The
choked drain leads the diversion of rainwater over the approach road then the approach road
may get severely damaged due to continues saturation. Hence in order to avoid further
damages to the approach road the drain needs to be constructed with cement concrete drains
for easy diversion of rainwater into the existing culvert and also to periodically maintain the
drain effectively by avoiding choking.
Therefore, the providing the drain along the approach leading to the PH I entry is very
essential to maintain the road without damage
This estimate comprises of the following items of work
1. Earthwork excavation for foundation
2. Plain Cement Concrete 1:3:6.
3. Supplying and erecting centering for Base slab.
4. Plain Cement Concrete 1:2:4.
5. Supplying and erecting centering for side walls
The above provisions that have been made in this estimate are absolutely necessary to
up keep the PH I Entry approach leading in good condition for which the better operation of
shutter.
This estimate is prepared based on the current schedule of rates for the year 2022-23
and works out to Rs.22,48,000. Necessary approval sanction may please be given for the
proposal.
