BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal, a state in India located in the eastern part of the country. It is situated about 145 km from the mouth of Hooghly river and the Bay of Bengal. The latitude and longitude of Kolkata is 220 23’ N and 880 20’E respectively. Kolkata is a large city in India with the Kolkata Municipal corporation area spreading over 187 sq.km and a total population of about 4.56 million. Additionally, there is a floating population of about 2 million that come to the city everyday. It is connected by an international airport (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Air Port at Dumdum) and two ports (Kolkata Port and Haldia Port) with rest of the world. The construction environment is in a densely populated urban area with heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic requiring all forms of management and safety measures at all construction sites.
The city is about 6 meters above mean sea level. The terrain of Kolkata is almost flat, which results in minimal advantage of gravity drainage. Ground water level of the city generally varies from 1.5 m to 2 m below G.L and during the monsoon and immediately thereafter the level is as high as 1 m below G.L. The summer temperatures between March and October hovers around 250-380 C and winter temperatures from November to January are around 100 – 250 C. Average annual rainfall is about 1600 mm. Generally the working season for civil works is October to May. However, the work can continue during other dry spell periods also.
Due to Kolkata’s flat terrain, storm water and sewerage have to be pumped into the canal/drainage channels. During rainy season, flooding is experienced in undersized drains, drains blocked by uncollected solid waste, water hyacinth and silted canals. Hence, the urgent need of rehabilitation and upgrading of Canal System in the project area is to ensure adequate conveyance and disposal.
The works under Canal Improvement in the KEIP includes the restoration of design section, replacement of bridges and culverts causing obstruction to flow, lining of selected reaches to increase the hydraulic efficiency, remodeling / augmenting pumping capacity / constructing new pumping stations at the outfall of selected canals.
The canals under Keorapukur Canal System carrying the discharge of Kolkata Municipal Corporation area comprises of the following :
Keorapukur Canal System
Keorapukur Canal
Western Channel
Western Channel Extension
Rania Khal
The drainage basin is a part of gangetic deltaic plain of river Hooghly. Terrain is typically flat deltaic land dotted with numerous low areas of marshes and shallow lakes. Master slope is from South-West to North. Upper reach of the basin is mostly urbanized and the remaining portion is some semi-urban and / or rural catchment area of the baisis is within the administrative control of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, Sonarpur Rajpur Municipality.
This contract package comprise works of Keorapukur Canal having a total length of about 0.85 Km, situated in Borough XI & XIII, of Kolkata Municipal Corporation area. Canal Stretchs included in this package under different lots are as below :
