The Kharicut Canal redevelopment initiative in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, epitomises a groundbreaking effort to modernise urban infrastructure. With a substantial budget exceeding 12000 Million INR, this ambitious project, backed by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and state irrigation department, aims to revamp 22 km of the canal and replace 40 ageing bridges with continuous precast box culverts.
In a collaborative endeavour, Multimedia Consultants and FUJI Silvertech spearheaded the conceptualisation and structural design of this pivotal precast concrete canal. Stringent adherence to Indian Road Congress standards and meticulous scrutiny of over 150 load combinations underscored the project’s commitment to structural integrity.
Fuji Silvertech’s cutting-edge manufacturing facility was crucial for producing the precast box culverts. Utilising premium-grade materials such as self-compacting M50 grade concrete and high-strength Fe 550 D reinforcement steel, the factory maintained rigorous quality control standards accredited by ISO 17025:2017 and international benchmarks.
Navigating the complexities of urban construction, precast concrete box culverts emerged as the most practical solution. Precision engineering and innovative techniques, such as steam curing and monolithic construction joints, ensured seamless assembly and structural robustness.
The project’s emphasis on environmental sustainability is noteworthy. The redevelopment plan aligns with eco-conscious principles by integrating green spaces, fountain areas, and recreational zones into its blueprint. Moreover, the precast box culverts underwent rigorous life cycle assessments, earning third-party validation for their minimal carbon footprint and environmental adherence to ISO standards.
The Kharicut Canal redevelopment project is a testament to innovation, collaboration, and environmental stewardship. It sets a transformative precedent for urban infrastructure development in India.
