Vijayawada: Pattiseema Lift Irrigation project will be inaugurated by the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday. The project according to irrigation officials has been completed within the fixed time frame and agreement value in the country. The project was taken up by Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL).

  • The project was taken up by Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL) and completed in record time
  • In technological perspective, Pattiseema project enters history books as the largest project executed in Asia and first such one in India

The pump house is also the largest (with 24 pumping units) in the Asian region. Though the project constitutes critical civil works wherein the foundation levels are far below mean sea level, MEIL has completed these works with local technological expertise. All 24 pumpsets have been tested successfully and ready for pumping as on March 20.

The pumps were supplied by Kirloskar and WPIL, while motors were supplied by BHEL and Shanghai Electric. From a technological perspective, Pattiseema project has entered history books as the largest project executed in Asia, and in the irrigation sector it is the first such project completed in India.

Pattiseema has been envisaged since the Polavaram Irrigation Project Head works will take about 4 years from now for completion. The construction of main canals are at their final stage of completion, as it creates an opportunity to utilise the flood water which is going waste into sea.
