Scope of Work

The project covers the full EPC delivery of a 66kV D/C transmission line between Bhogat and Dwarka, including:

  • Detailed route survey and finalization of alignment.

  • Design, supply, and delivery of ACSR Panther conductors and transmission line towers.

  • Foundation, erection, and stringing of 66kV D/C towers.

  • Testing and commissioning of the complete transmission system.

  • Quality assurance and safety management throughout project execution.

  • Compliance with GETCO technical and environmental standards.

Chalenges

  • Managing logistics and tower erection across long coastal stretches.

  • Addressing foundation challenges due to saline soil and variable terrain.

  • Ensuring work continuity during monsoon conditions and high wind zones.

  • Maintaining coordination between multiple site teams for a long project duration.

Solution

To ensure smooth execution, Concord Construction implemented:

  • Strategic Resource Planning to allocate manpower, machinery, and materials efficiently across sections.

  • Advanced Survey & Foundation Techniques adapted for coastal and saline soil conditions.

  • Phased Construction Scheduling to balance erection and stringing operations.

  • Safety Protocols and Environmental Safeguards in line with GETCO’s best practices.
