Shahpurkandi Hydropower Project

Shahpurkandi Hydropower Project on the Ravi River in Punjab features a 55.5 m high concrete gravity dam with 206 MW power output and a 7.7 km hydel channel. Encardio Rite supplied and installed key safety monitoring instruments, including piezometers, uplift and total pressure cells, strain meters, temperature sensors, joint meters, and plumbline systems. These instruments provide continuous safety data critical for power generation and irrigation operations. Data is accessible for real-time monitoring and risk management via Encardio Rite’s advanced platforms.

Shahpurkandi Hydropower Project

The Shahpurkandi hydropower project is located on the Ravi River in Pathankot district, Punjab, India. The project is constructed on the canal from Shahpurkandi Barrage to Madhopur headworks, downstream of the existing Ranjit Sagar Dam. The water released by Ranjit Sagar Dam is utilized for generating power from this project. The main purpose behind the construction of this dam is power generation & irrigation in Punjab & J&K States. It is constructed by the Irrigation Department of the Government of Punjab.

The project consists of a 55.5 m high concrete gravity dam, a 7.70 km long hydel channel, two head regulators, and two powerhouses. The design discharge capacity of the dam is 21500 cumsec. The total output capacity of the project is 206 MW.

Encardio-rite was awarded the sub-contract for the supply as well as the installation of safety monitoring instrumentation for the project. The instrumentation included:
