09 Apr 2025 CW Team

The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) of Rajasthan has issued a tender for the Kaliteer Water Supply Project, which will be executed under the hybrid annuity model (HAM) in the Dholpur district. This project forms part of the central government's Jal Jeevan Mission initiative, aiming to enhance rural water supply infrastructure.

The project scope involves the construction of essential water infrastructure, including water treatment plants (WTPs), clear water reservoirs (CWRs), and clear water pumping houses (CWPHs) near the WTPs. It also includes the development of transmission pipelines from WTPs to various Intermediate Pumping Stations (IPSs), installation of rising mains leading to multiple Elevated Service Reservoirs (ESRs), and the construction of these ESRs. Furthermore, a comprehensive water distribution system will be set up within the targeted villages, along with the provision of functional household tap connections (FHTCs) and associated works.

Geographically, the project covers the Dholpur, Bari, Baseri, Sarmathpura, and Saipau blocks of Dholpur district, as well as the Bayana block in the neighboring Bharatpur district. The construction is scheduled to be completed within a 36-month period. Additionally, the project includes a 10-year operation and maintenance (O&M) phase, which features a one-year defect liability period to ensure continued performance and service quality.

The total estimated project cost is pegged at Rs 6.06 billion. Interested parties must submit their bids by the deadline of 05 May 2025.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots.
