TECHNICAL VISIT REPORT
A Technical visit to ”KARAI DAM” gandhinagar, was organized by the
Institute Vishwakarma government engineering college, department of civil engineering on Tuesday, 11th September 2016. Almost all the students of civil engineering department and two faculties visited the dam to interact with the working process of KARAI cross canal syphon. The KARAI PROJECT is properly a cross regulator cum canal syphon across Sabarmati river. This project is one of the biggest canal syphone in the world.
In the morning at 11:30 am students visited the canal and in 3 batch of 15
students each interacted with the civil engineer working there. The technical person conducted very informative session in which all the dimensions, capacity and starting point and other detailed information was covered.
Students visited the canal by taking overall look of the site having information of each and every segment of the canal from the site engineer. The canal had its escape through which the access of water in emergency from the Sabarmati river can be excluded from the canal.
The canal works and the working of syphon was thoroughly explained by the site engineer. The canal had 3 battery with 3 barrel in each battery. This battery helps in operation and regulation of gates. Each gate of about 6-7 m depth was immersed in the water. The site engineer also inform the student about the main narmda and its canal distributary works. The narmada river is 1312 km long and has its 3 main canal irrigation system in which the KARAI CROSS REGULATOR is the second (2/3) headwork with the syphon. The capacity of KARAI PROJECT is 2nd largest among the 3 canal headworks. Overall it was a very informatory visit for a civil engineering student to know about the working of canal cross regulators. All students on about 3 pm left the site with full knowledge of canal works. Prepared by: Rathod Krina Rajeshkumar 150170106047
