Sangram Power Project to establish 1000 MW PSP in Odisha

Sangamam Power Project Company has developed a comprehensive project report for establishing a 1000 MW Pumped Storage Project (PSP) in Sunki, located in Odisha’s Koraput district. The project aims to enhance the region’s energy storage capabilities, contributing to Odisha’s renewable energy infrastructure.

As part of its expansion plans, the company formalized its commitment by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Odisha government during the Utkarsh Odisha Conclave. This agreement marks a significant step in advancing pumped storage technology within the state, ensuring reliable power supply and supporting grid stability.

The proposed PSP will leverage water reservoirs to store and generate electricity efficiently. During periods of low electricity demand, surplus power will be used to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher one. When demand rises, the stored water will be released back to the lower reservoir, driving turbines to generate electricity. This process will help balance power fluctuations and integrate more renewable energy into the grid.

The Odisha government has been focusing on energy security and sustainability, making pumped storage projects an essential part of its long-term power strategy. By facilitating this large-scale investment, the state aims to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio and enhance overall power reliability.

With its expertise in developing energy infrastructure, Sangamam Power Project Company is expected to play a crucial role in executing this project. The collaboration between the government and private sector in this initiative underscores Odisha’s commitment to fostering clean energy solutions and advancing its position in India’s growing renewable energy sector.

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..
