Key Projects

Hydro Power


Run-of-the-river Hydro Electric Project of proposed capacity 320 MW (8 x 40 MW) across River Godavari at Dummugudem, Khammam District, Telangana State

Geospatial Survey

The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is prepared for developing a 320 Mw run -of-river hydroelectric power project by constructing a gravity dam across River Godavari at Dummugudem village, Khammam district in Andhra Pradesh for APGENCO. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is prepared by ConTec in line with the Guidelines laid down by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for formulation of Detailed Project Report (DPR)s for Hydro Electric Schemes, in compliance with the requirement of Section 8 of the Electricity Act, 2003.

The 2500 Cr. project envisages construction of a gated spillway in the deepest course of River Godavari, sandwiched between concrete overflow sections (auxiliary spillways), with a bridge proposed to connect with the earth and rock fill dam on both sides to pass a design discharge of about 1,00,000 cumecs. The power house is located within the concrete non overflow section on the right bank immediately after the right concrete overflow section. The work is done for Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO).

Standardization of Godavari River Flood Banks, Andhra Pradesh

Geospatial Survey

Godavari River is a major waterway in central India. The upper waters of the Godavari are scarcely utilized for irrigation, but the entire delta has been turned into a garden of perennial crops by means of the anicut at Dowalaiswaram, constructed by Sir Arthur Cotton 145 years ago.

The river enters the Andhra Pradesh near Bhadrachalam and flows touching the towns such as Godhavarikhani, Rajahmundry, Kovvur, Tallapudi and Narsapur in a southeast direction until it empties into the Bay of Bengal through two mouths. Whenever the discharge in river Godavari exceeds 28,320 Cumecs the water level in the river raises above the adjoining lands in the delta, affecting crop in 4.0 lakh hectares of rich cultivable land as also affecting the livelihood of 3.5 million people. Based on the experience of past floods, it was proposed to raise the flood banks by 2.00 m over the observed maximum flood level (OMFL) of 1986 flood and widen the banks to the standards for the length of 405.50 Kms.


Detailed Project Report for Standardization of Vamsadhara River and Nagavali River Flood Banks, Andhra Pradesh

Geospatial Survey

Vamsadhara & Nagavali Rivers witnessed the brunt of flash floods by two successive depressions in the Bay of Bengal coupled with heavy rainfall in its catchment areas in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh during July and August 2006. The flood waters breached the banks at several locations inundating 719 villages in 38 mandals in Srikakulam District.

The total length of flood banks of Vamsadhara & Nagavali rivers in Srikakulam and Vizianagaram Districts is about 134 Kms. Out of which 33.1 Kms length of flood banks is along Nagavali River and the balance length of 100.9 Kms along River Vamsadhara. With the experience of the past floods, it was proposed to raise the flood banks by 2.00 m over the observed maximum flood level (OMFL) of 1986 & 2006 flood for Vamsadhara & Nagavali Rivers respectively.
