URI-II Hydroelectric Project

The URI-II Hydroelectric Project (240 MW) features a run-of-the-river design with an underground powerhouse, tailrace tunnel, and extensive infrastructure. Encardio Rite provided comprehensive monitoring solutions, including piezometers, load cells, borehole extensometers (mechanical & electronic), water level recorders, and more. These instruments ensure the collection of real-time data and proactive monitoring of key project components, thereby enhancing the safety and operational efficiency of the hydroelectric project.

URI-II Hydroelectric Project

Encardio-rite instrumented URI 240 MW capacity hydroelectric project. It is a run-of-the-river type dam. The project comprises a barrage, cut and cover, a de-silting basin, an open channel, a 10.65 km long headrace tunnel, 2 pressure shafts, an underground powerhouse, and a 2.06 km long tail race tunnel.

Encardio-rite provided turnkey services for the project. The scope of work included the supply ofgeotechnical sensorsas well as installation and monitoring services by our specialized engineers. The instrumentation used includedpiezometers, water level recorder, seepage measurement,load cells, boreholeextensometer(mechanical as well as electronic; single and 3 points), temperature meter, and portablereadout units.
