PROJECTVarahi Mini Hydel Scheme – 3×7.5 MW
Karnataka (for Sandur Power)
CLIENT: L&T
The Varahi Mini Hydel Scheme is a compact yet high-efficiency hydropower development executed for Sandur Power, a subsidiary project under L&T. Varks was responsible for the intricate civil works essential to the hydraulic system’s performance, combining precision engineering with sustainable power design.
Scope of Work
- •Construction of a 7.5 m diameter, 1800 m long Head Race Tunnel (HRT)
- •Execution of a 45 m deep Surge Shaft
- •Construction of a 7.5 m diameter, 350 m long Penstock Tunnel
- •Comprehensive civil and structural works to ensure hydraulic efficiency and stability
Outcome
The Varahi Mini Hydel Scheme adds 22.5 MW of clean energy capacity, contributing to Karnataka’s renewable grid. Through advanced tunneling, design accuracy, and engineering discipline, Varks reinforced its position as a trusted execution partner in India’s hydroelectric sector.
