Second construction and demolition plant inaugurated at Hyderabad

28 Jun 2021 CW Team

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and Ramky Enviro Engineers launched a second construction and demolition recycling facility in Hyderabad.

KT Rama Rao, Telangana Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister, inaugurated the plant at Fathullaguda in Hayathnagar. This facility is the first of its kind that uses wet processing technology to reduce dust pollution.

The plant can process up to 500 tons per day (TPD) of Construction and Demolition (C & C&D) waste with a specialised segregation system, multiple screening systems, sand-washing, debris handling system, material washing, and water management system.

It will operate under a public-private partnership model with the GHMC and is one of the largest facilities in South India. Several recycled products from the C&D waste generated at this facility are utilised for non-structural purposes such as footpaths, road sub-base, etc.

From April 2018, about 15.26 lakh tonnes of C&D waste has been collected, with 7.97 lakh tonnes collected at the Jeedimetla facility and 5.38 lakh tonnes collected at Fathullaguda.

Rao requested the builders to ensure that the construction and demolition waste is not thrown out in the open and is transported to this plant. The GHMC officials are going to hold meetings in this regard with builders' associations and other stakeholders.

KTR noted that Hyderabad is the first city in south India to have a second construction and demolition facility. He told the media that they will soon have two more C&D plants coming up in the other locations of the city to cover the entire city with a capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day and that it is happy to note that almost all of the waste received at this plant and the earlier constructed plant is converting the debris into good quality construction material.

The minister told the media that due to the GHMC's efforts, the waste collected in GHMC limits had increased from 3,500 TPD to 7,000 TPD. The transfer station number has also increased from 70 to 100.
