HNSS Phase II – Package 30

Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) Project: canal excavation, embankment, and water conveyance structures.

Project Overview

Package No. 30 under Phase II of the landmark Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) Project. The scope encompassed extensive canal earthwork excavation, trapezoidal canal prism formation, engineered embankment compaction, and hydraulic cross-drainage structures for major inter-basin water conveyance.

Executed across demanding topography in the Madanapalle Circle, this package forms a critical reach in channeling drought-mitigating irrigation waters to agrarian communities across the Rayalaseema region.

Key Deliverables & Scope

  • Heavy mechanized earthwork excavation for canal prism in soil and weathered rock
  • Layer-compacted embankment formation with strict proctor density control
  • Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) canal bed and side slope lining to curtail seepage
  • Cross-drainage culverts, under-tunnels, and hydraulic drop structures
  • Stone pitching and revetment bank protections ensuring designed hydraulic discharge
