World largest lift irrigation project

HYDERABAD, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Markook pump house, the last and vital one, is inaugurated by Telangana Chief Minister Sri K. Chandrashekhar Rao today, thusreleasing the water to Kondapochammasagar; yet another milestone in the multi-stage Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme(KLIS). After performing the 'Chandi Yagam' by Sri China Jeeyar Swamy,healsoinaugurated the pump house and reservoir. MEIL has built this prestigious reservoir and pump house, equipping it withsix machinesof 27 MWs capacity eachand an operationalpumping capacityof3,763 MWs. MEIL Kaleshwaram Pump Houses Infra giant, Megha Engineering Infrastructure Limited (MEIL)enhanced itsreputation by completing all the critical works of Kaleshwaram Project, a multi-purpose lift irrigation project taken up by Telangana Government in record time. The project intends to mould Telangana intoa 'Food Bowl' using the waterresourcesof theGodavari river.By completing the majority of thepumping stations for this ambitious project ina recordtime of 4 years, MEIL proved its mettle in terms of its engineering and management capacities. A total of 22 pumping stations with 96 machines having a total capacity of 4,680 MWs was constructed for this mega project; a first-of-its-kind in the world. Out of the total, MEIL built 15 pumping stations with 89 machines having a capacity of 3,840 MWs.One of the most notable achievements of the projectis that all ofthese pumping houses have been operationalised and pumping water.

There are many lift irrigation projects in the world, but, the Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) project has unique features among all. This lift irrigation project is having the highest number of pump houses and motors in the world. 43 pump houses built in the first and second phases of the project. By establishing a total of 269 units (motor and pump is one unit) MEIL has created a world-class project. HNSS is Asia's biggest and longest lift irrigation project. Though Kaleshwaram, Devadula, Kalwakurthy, Palamuru-Rangareddy projects are bigger projects, as they are still under execution level HNSS has recognised as Asia's biggest lift irrigation project. The California state in the USA is having the world's biggest project was built 80 years ago. This project lifts water to the highest level of terrains for drinking and irrigation purposes. Once the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project completes all these records will be erased out. As per the number of motors, pumps, pump houses and length, HNSS is the Unique among all. MEIL's electro-mechanical works had brought this uniqueness to the project. Handri-Neeva project was proposed 30 years ago with the ambition to supply drinking and irrigation water to the four Rayalaseema districts. While the river Handri flows in Kurnool district and Neeva flows in Chittoor district. Interlinking these two rivers by digging hills and high terrains by setting up a pump house at Malyala in Kurnool district. When This project was taken up...

The success of any project is the culmination of efforts of numerous stakeholders, including domestic and international companies, expert teams conducting research, engineers providing constant supervision, and finally, the muscle power of thousands of foot soldiers, the workers. The MEIL built the world’s largest multi-stage lift irrigation scheme, Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP), in Telangana. Workers from across the country lent their shoulders for the construction of the massive project. But, beyond the digging, laying of power lines, and installing pumping machines, the company’s persistence and initiative, combined with the State government's support, made the Kaleshwaram project possible. In three years, the company built 12 pumping stations with a combined capacity of 4,439 MW with 104 machines. The Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation Project is one-of-its-kind, undertaken on such a massive scale. The project gained prominence as a multi-stage lift irrigation scheme by lifting the largest river, the Godavari, from the bottom to the top. Reaching the unreached No other project has these many pump houses on the planet, and the company made this possible. This demonstrates our superior capability and expertise. The Kaleshwaram project, in all, has 22 pump houses, of which the MEIL built 15. A new world record was set by installing six machines in the Medigadda pump house in less than 10 months. The company installed 12 machines in Medigadda barrage’s Lakshmi pump ho...
