Sub: Peer review of utility shifting works/ estimate of Akkalkot near

Solapur Kurnool Section in the State of Telangana – Package-I

Ref:NHAI/Tech./IS/DPR/Peer Review/2021(E-59729)/746 dated 04.06.2021

Dear Sir,

With reference to above letter, I have come to Hyderabad for Peer

Review. On dated 16.06.2021, I have visited the site along with NHAI,
PDy.GM (Tech.), Smt. K.P.Saraswathi and the personnel of SM Consultant
(Mr.Ramakant & Mr. Degaru) of Package-I site.

Package-I comes in the Gadwal District in the State of Telangana.

Package-I starts from Ch.202.900 to Ch.242.200 total length is 39.3 km.

Construction Cost:

1. Cost of shifting of utilities RWS Rs. 2,00,00,000/- (Rupees Two Crores

Only)
2. Cost of shifting of utilities Electrical Rs.43,95,00,000/- (Rupees
Fourty Three Crore Ninety Five Lakhs Only)

The provision of electrical utilities is as under:

1. EHT lines

1 218.893 219.105 0.221 1 Tower in ROW to be
shifted.
2 220.222 220.614 0.398 Tower is in the center of
the road hence tower to be
shifted.
3 226.610 226.671 0.117 Road clearance is very less
as per IE rule 1956 rule
77.hence tower to be
shifted.
4 236.000 236.000 0.06 Tower not to be shifted the
clearance is 9.96m as per IE
rule 1956 rule 77. The
minimum clearance for
400kv is 8.84m while at
present the available
clearance is 9.96m
 As per site visit, it is found that tower at serial number 1,2,3 of above
chart to be shifted but the tower at serial number 4 which is 400kv
tower not to be shifted. The shifting of 400 KV tower is costly affair.the
approximate cost of shifting will be 1.5cr Therefore, it will be big saving
in the DPR cost.

The detail of HT line and LT line given below:

In Electrical review of Package – I, it is found that Extra High Tension

line shifting of 400 KV not to be done. Hence, the approximate saving of
Rs.1.5 Cr. Worked out.

Regarding HT line and LT shifting the cost estimate received from

Telangana Division is Rs.5,24,21,793/- this covers the approximately 68%
area of total HT and LT line. Therefore, this is justified to reduce the
cost of Electrical Utility in the DPR approximately 25%. Therefore, the
saving of Electrical Utilities is approximately Rs.12.5 Cr.

1. It is advised to DPR Consultant to collect HT and LT line balance

estimates for the shifting of HT/LT lines.

2. It is also advised to obtain the map of the estimates prepared and

sanctioned by the Power Distribution Company.

This review is submitted to you.

Yours faithfully,
