Bajoli-Holi Hydroelectric Project

The Bajoli-Holi Hydroelectric Project, a 180 MW run-of-river facility on the River Ravi in Himachal Pradesh, utilizes Encardio Rite's comprehensive geotechnical instrumentation for monitoring its 66 m high concrete gravity dam, headrace tunnel, and powerhouse. Instruments like piezometers, inclinometers, load cells, and accelerographs ensure the structural stability and safety of the project. The monitoring system provides valuable real-time data for proactive maintenance and long-term operational efficiency.

Bajoli-Holi Hydroelectric Project

Bajoli-Holi HEP is a 180 MW run-of-the-river power facility being constructed on the River Ravi in the Chamba district of the state Himachal Pradesh, India. The project consists of a 66 m high concrete gravity dam near Bajoli village, a surface powerhouse, power intake structure, two inlet tunnels, two underground desanding chambers, a headrace tunnel, and two link tunnels. Water from HRT goes into the surge shaft, the pressure shaft, the surface power house, and the tail race tunnel, and finally back into the River Ravi. The surface powerhouse complex consists of three units of 60 MW each.

Encardio-rite was awarded the complete sub-contract for the monitoring works. Encardio-rite turnkey scope of works included supply, installation, commissioning, calibration, etc.
