1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Tangnu Romai Hydroelectric Project (HEP) with its planned installed capacity
of 50 MW is being conceived as a run-of-the-river scheme on river Pabbar, a
tributary of Yamuna, near Rohru,in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh.
Master plan of Pabbar river basin has been prepared by HPSEB in collaboration of
SWED Power, Sweden which is conceived to be developed in three stages for
generating a total of 240 MW of power. They are Dhamwari Sunda Hydel Project,
Khiloch (Dogri Dudu) Project and Tangnu Romai Project.
2.1 LOCATION
The area is located in great Himalayan ranges on Pabbar and lies between longitude
77o-22 30M N to 77o-58-45 N and latitude 31o to 14-30M E to 31 M5’-30” E covered in
the Survey of India Toposheet No. 53E/15, 53E/16 and 53 I/3.The project is about
170 km from Shimla and 32 km from Rohru.
2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Salient features of the Project are as follows:
The proposal entails diversion of Supin waters into Pabbar Khad and as
such it has been proposed to install small power project on the diverted waters of
Supin khad and the proposal entails: -
i) Trench type diversion structure with small control structure and shingle
flushing arrangement.
ii) Small intake and regulating structure to feed the water
iii) Approach tunnel 2.0 m. D–shaped from intake to De-silting
iv) Underground free flow 6m deep Desilting tank
v) 2 meter D –shaped Head Race Tunnel from De-silting Tank to Fore
Bay of about 900 m length.
vi) Channel type 65 m long Fore Bay 4 x 4.3 m. having control structures
and spilling arrangement into spill pipe
Spill Pipe
1 m d MS Spill pipe is proposed
Penstock
1.2 m d BQ plate penstock is provided from Forebay to Power House having
trifurcation near power house about 225 m long.
Power House
40 m x 10 m is proposed to house 3 units of 2 MW each.
Tail Race
Tail water will be collected in open tank; there from will be released in to Pabbar
by 2 m wide channel.
Barrage
Barrage is proposed on Pabbar khad about 400 m upstream of confluence of
Pabbar and Supin Khad.
Intake
The left abutment of barrage is being utilized as intake to draw about 17.5 cumecs
of waters through vertical trash rack
Approach Tunnel
2.6 m dia and 3.2 horse shoe excavated from intake to de-silting tank with invert
level of 2556.5 m 640 m long from intake to de-silting tank is proposed.
Desilting Tank
6 m horse shoe hopper type two nos. 90 m long chambers for desilting tank is
proposed to eliminate silt 0.2 mm having flushing tunnel 2 m D –shaped about 55
m long at end of chambers.
Surge Shaft
5.0 m dia 50 m deep underground open to sky surge shaft is proposed between
penstock and head race tunnel to counter balance surges.
Penstock
2 m dia steel lined penstock about 609.3 m long having bifurcation near power
house is proposed on anchor/saddle blocks and first 55 m housed in tunnel.
Power House
Power House bench is proposed at EL + 2593.7 m on left bank of Pabbar. Power
house is of size 45.5 x 15 mts, having service bay and erection bay level 2197.7 m,
with minimum tail water EL + 2190 m.
Transmission
Power from 6 MW power plant is proposed to be evacuated through 22 KV line up
to Romai and stepped up at Romai Power House substation to 132 KV from where
all the power generated from 6 MW and 44 MW power stations will be evacuated
by 10 km double circuit 132 KV transmission line from Romai to Sunda.
Cost
The completion cost of the project including escalation & interest during
construction is Rs. 23973.50 lakhs , comprising of Rs. 19079.30 lakhs as total
project cost, 12665.49 lakhs on civil works and Rs. 93.94 lakhs as transmission
works,etc.
Benefits
The Tangnu- Romai HEP with installation of 50 MW will provide much needed
peaking capacity in to HPSEB substations at Sunda.
Construction Schedule
The project is programme to be completed in a period of 4.5 years from the day of
the commencement of work.
Base line studies were undertaken to generate baseline data within a 10 km radius
around the proposed dam during the period of 8th April to 7th May, 2006 for the
preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report. Environmental
attributes namely air, noise, water, land, biological and socio-economic
environment have been identified and the study conducted generally conforms to
the requirements of the EIA Notification, 1994 (as amended on 4.5.94). Baseline
status is comprehensively covered in Chapter 3.
• Expatriate constructors who would probably come from other parts of the
country would undertake construction activities.
• The availability of electricity to the rural areas will reduce the dependence
of the locals on alternative energy sources namely forest.
Total 304.21
Post-project Monitoring and analysis shall be carried out as per the procedures
given in Chapter 6. The frequency, methodology of sampling and testing for
various pollutants specified by CPCB/HPSEP&PCB will be followed.
i.) Ambient air quality, water quality and noise levels are being monitored
for summer and winter seasons as part of detailed EIA study.
ii.) Complete videography of water sources if any, falling under the
alignment of tunnels underground powerhouse etc. shall be made to
assess base line data of quantity of surface/ underground water sources
in presence of members of local panchayats, officers of I & PH
Department, State Revenue & Forest Department. The CD’s of the
observations shall thereafter be placed in the office of the local
Administration, Revenue authorities, PH office & I and in the nearest
regional office of the HP Environment Protection and Pollution Control
Board. Similarly video-graphy for buildings, houses if any shall also be
conducted.
Blasting shall be done after observing all safety measures as per notified safety
code but even then provision for compensation for damage & sinking of land due
