Koldam Hydroelectric Project

The 800 MW Koldam Hydropower Project consists of an embankment dam.

Encardio-rite was selected to provide the geotechnical instruments for monitoring of this prestigious project. The instrumentation work was carried out successfully, which consisted of monitoring the dam and commissioning an automatic data acquisition system. NTPC was quite appreciative of the instruments as the monitored data helped them in taking many critical decisions during the filling of the dam.

Instrumentation installed included a piezometer , strain gage , prism targets, multipoint borehole extensometers (electronic; 2, 3, and 5 points), plumb lines , joint meter, temperature meter, portable readout units , an automatic data acquisition system, and seismographs.
