PROJECTSrisailam Left Bank Hydro Electric Scheme – 6×150 MW
Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh
CLIENT: APGENCO
It is a landmark hydro project and one of the largest of its kind in South India. Designed to harness the immense potential of the Krishna River, the project enhances the region’s renewable energy capacity while setting engineering benchmarks for complex underground hydro systems.
Scope of Work
Execution of:
- •Construction of Asia’s largest Concrete Y-Junction in the Head Race Tunnel(HRT)
- •Excavation and lining of a 15 m diameter Head Race Tunnel
- •Execution of a 600 m long, 15 m diameter Tail Race Tunnel
- •Formation of a 14.5 km long approach road leading to the Weir site
Outcome
This project contributes a significant 900 MW of clean hydroelectric power to the southern grid, reinforcing India’s renewable energy ecosystem. Its engineering excellence, particularly the Y-Junction - Asia’s largest concrete junction, stands as a testament to Varks’ expertise in delivering mega-scale, high-precision infrastructure.
