Power Grid Wins Bids for Three Transmission Projects under TBCB

Power Grid Corporation of India has emerged as the successful bidder under Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) for three projects aimed at establishing an Inter-State Transmission System under the Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) model.

The first project involves the transmission system for power evacuation from the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) Phase-V (Part-1: 4 GW) at the Sirohi/Nagaur complex. This includes the augmentation of transformation capacity at the under-construction Sirohi substation in Rajasthan. Additionally, the project encompasses the development of 765kV double circuit (D/C) transmission lines spanning across Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

The second project focuses on enhancing the transformation capacity at the Banaskantha (Raghanesda) Power Station (GIS) in Gujarat. This involves augmentation work at the existing facility to support the increasing energy transmission requirements in the region.

The third project pertains to the integration of the Kurnool-IV Renewable Energy Zone (Phase-I) with a capacity of 4.5 GW. This includes the establishment of a new 765/400/220kV Kurnool IV Pooling Substation along with the augmentation of transformation capacity at the existing C’peta Substation in Andhra Pradesh. Furthermore, the project comprises the development of 765kV and 400kV double circuit transmission lines traversing through Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

These projects are expected to strengthen India's power transmission network, enhance the evacuation of renewable energy, and contribute to the overall efficiency and stability of the national grid. The implementation of these transmission systems will play a crucial role in supporting the country's growing renewable energy capacity and ensuring reliable power distribution across multiple states.

Elevated floors!

Raised access flooring, also called false flooring, is a less common interiors feature than false ceilings, but it has as many uses – if not more.A raised floor is a modular panel installed above the structural floor. The space beneath the raised flooring is typically used to accommodate utilities such as electrical cables, plumbing and HVAC systems. And so, raised flooring is usually associated with buildings with heavy cabling and precise air distribution needs, such as data centres.That said, CW interacted with designers and architects and discovered that false flooring can come in handy ..

The Variation Challenge

A variation or change in scope clause is defined in construction contracts to take care of situations arising from change in the defined scope of work. Such changes may arise due to factors such as additions or deletions in the scope of work, modifications in the type, grade or specifications of materials, alterations in specifications or drawings, and acts or omissions of other contractors. Further, ineffective planning, inadequate investigations or surveys and requests from the employer or those within the project’s area of influence can contribute to changes in the scope of work. Ext..
