 ABOUT DAM
• Dam is located near hudgur village, Somwarpet taluk in Kodagu district
in the Indian state of Karnataka.The reservoir is formed by a masonry
dam built across the river Harangi, a tributary of the Kaveri.The dam is
located about 9 km away from the heart of Kushalnagar town.
• River originates in pushpagiri hill of westernghat
in Kodagu, Karnataka. Heavy rainfall from the south-west monsoon is
the source of water in the catchment area of Harangi river which is about
419.58 km2.The length of the Harangi from its origin to the confluence
with the Kaveri river is 50 km.The Harangi joins the Kaveri near Kudige,
5 km north of Kushalnagar.
HRDROLOGY
• Catchment: The catchment area of the Harangi River at Harangi dam site is
419.58 sq.-km.
• Yields:The maximum and minimum annual virgin yields at Harangi dam site is
39.3 Mcft. At dependability.
•  Storage:The dam is designed to pass a probable maximum flood of
2973.66cumecs (105000 Cusecs). The gross storage capacity at FRL of 871.42m
is 8500 Mcft(8.50TMC) and a live storage of 8073 Mcft. (8.073TMC) and a dead
storage 427 Mcft (0.427 TMC) at MDDL of 846.734 m. The crest level is
proposed to be at R.L860.755m.

• Water Spread:The reservoir water spread submerges an area of 1900 Ha. (4717
acres) displacing a population of about 13 villages.
METEOROLOGY
Meteorological department

We learn about the meteorological measurements in harangi ,

including the measurement of rainfall , temperature , evaporation
and sunshine

1. Pan measurement method for measuring evaporation

losses:
Water level in the pan is recorded by a point gauge arrangement
placed inside a stilling basin. Measurement is taken at least once
a day by adding water to the pan by a calibrated cylindrical glass
jar to bring water level to the previous position. This gives
directly the evaporation depth over the time lapse.
2. Compbell-Stokes record
The crystal ball is typically 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter, and is designed
to focus the rays from the sun onto a card mounted at the back and is set
on a stand. The card is held in place by grooves of which there are three
overlapping sets, to allow for the altitude of the sun during different
seasons of the year. The recording of each day goes onto one card.

3. Stevenson screen
A Stevenson screen or instrument shelter is a shelter or an Lean moreenclosure
to meteorological instruments against precipitation and direct heat radiation
from outside sources, while still allowing air to circulate freely around them! It
forms part of a standard weather station and holds instruments that may include
thermometers (ordinary, maximum/minimum), a hygrometer, a psychrometer, a
dewcell, a barometer, and a thermograph.

4. Anemometer
The three-cup anemometer was further modified by the Australian Dr. Derek
Weston in 1991 to measure both wind direction and wind speed. Weston added a
tag to one cup, which causes the cup wheel speed to increase and decrease as the
tag moves alternately with and against the wind. Wind direction is calculated from
these cyclical changes in cup wheel speed, while wind speed is determined from
the average cup wheel speed
 5.Non recording type:( Symon’s gauge )
The Indian meteorological Department has adopted Symon’s rain
gauges.A glass bottle and funnel with brass rim are put in a metallic
cylinder such that the top of the cylinders such that the top of the
cylinder is 305 mm above the ground level. Rain water falls into the
glass bottle through the funnel. The water collected in the bottle is
measured with the help of a standard measuring glass jar .

6. Float type Rain gauge

The vertical movement of float on account of rise in the water level in the
chamber (due to rain water falling in it) is transmitted by a suitable
mechanism to move a pen on a clock – driven revolving chart. The record
of rain fall is in the form of a mass curve of rainfall and, hence, the slope of
the curve gives the intensity of rainfall.

7. STREAM GAUGE STATION

A stream gauge, stream gauge or stream gauging station is a location
used by hydrologists or environmental scientists to monitor and test
terrestrial bodies of water. Hydro metric measurements of water level
surface elevation ("stage") and/or volumetric discharge (flow) are
generally taken and observations of biota and water quality may also be
made.
MEASUREMNT OF SEEPAGE IN SPILLWAY
We measure the volume of seepage inside the inspection gallery

Measurement of seepage in gallery

At chainage 126 = 0.000416 cumec (average)
At chainage 128 =0.000116 cumec(average)
Measurement of seepage in seepage holes by using 10 ltr can , the average
discharge from seepage holes at chainage 126 and 128 are 25 ltr/min and 7 ltr/
min respectively
 FUNCTIONS OF DAM COMPONENTS
We learn about the functions of dam components with the help of AE
and JE SPILLWAY
The spillway is a structure used to provide controlled release of
water from a dam or levee downstream, usually on the banks of a
dammed river. the spillways must have sufficient flood discharge
capacity, which is likely to occur during the The dam is a structure
across the river to stop flowing water & to store it in the reservoir;
the barrier could be a arch dam, rockfill dam, or earthen dam.
Spillways are provided at the top level of the dam.
Irrigation Sluice Gates & hoists:
An Irrigation Sluice is provided on the Left bank no over
flow section of the dam at Ch: 130 m having 6 vents each
of size 1.83 x 3.05 m. Sill level of the sluice vents are at
R1, 846.734 m (RL. 2778.80 ft).sluice gates are provided
normally in channel outlet for the purpose of release of
water to irrigation area
GALLERIES IN GRAVITY DAM
Galleries are the horizontal or sloping openings or passages
left in the body of the dam. They may run longitudinally (i.e.
parallel to dam axis) or traverselly (i.e. normal to the dam
axis)and are provided at various elevations. purpose of
galleries in dam is for drainage , drilling , inspection , post
constructions and operation of sluice gates
RADIAL GATES :
Hydro Gates standard radial gates are designed for a wide,
clear waterway opening. A radial (or taintor) gate acts similar
to a section of a drum. Pressure is transferred from the curved
face through the horizontal support beams to the radial arms
at the sides of the opening. The arms act as columns and
transfer thrust to a common bearing located on either side of
the gate opening. Flow is underneath the curved face as the
gate is opened.

 HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
Harangi Hydroelectric Project 9MW (2×4.5MW)

EDCL owns and operates a run-of-the-river 9 MW (2X4.5 MW) Hydroelectric Power Project at
Harangi River. The 9 MW Project was set up by the company in 1999 on the left bank of Harangi
Dam(parallel to left bank irrigation canal), District Kodagu in Karnataka State.

Project Description
The project scheme has simple civil works comprising Cross Regulator, Intake Structure and
Approach Channel, Steel Penstock, Power House, Tail Pool and Tailrace Channel.
A steel penstock of 4.3 m diameter and 36 m length will lead water from approach channel to
turbine at the power house. The Power House will be surface type located on the Right Bank of
the Present Escape Channel. The power house will house a 1x6MW Horizontal Propeller Kaplan
turbine coupled to a synchronous generator through speed increasing gearbox. Propeller Kaplan
is chosen as there is almost constant head and discharge.

SEQUENCE OF WORKING
SITE VISIT AND CLEARANCE

Site clearance is the firststep involved in construction process of

any residential building.
It is done with the help of machinery of any equipment’s
It involves the removal of trees, demolishing buildings, removing
any all old underground infrastructure filling levelling and any other
obstacles that might offect the construction process in the future.

SITE MARKING
The controlling point of the structure can then be marked so that the
construction team is able to easily identify them. This usually consist
of marking the building’s corners, horizontal and vertical positions
using stakes, batter boards with string lines, drill holes, and other
methods.
 EXCAVATION
Excavation is the processes of moving earth, rock or other
materials with tools, equipment or explosives. It includes
earthwork, trenching, wall shafts, tunneling and underground.
This involves the removal of the layer of soil directly beneath
the top soil. the removed material (referred to as ‘spoil’) is often
stockpiled and used to construct embankments and foundations.
The depth of excavation is about 1.2m below the ground level
Excavation has a number of important applications including
exploration, environmental restoration, mining and construction.
Digging of basement for new house construction can cost $500
- $10000 or more, depending on location and what is included.

FOOTING AND COLUMN BARBENDING

Size of columns is 230mm*300mm.Column rein Sizes of Mats
changes according to sizes of columns.Rienforcement is provided with
help of steel mesh.Columns are reinforced with12mm &16mm bars to
resist bending and shearing forces. HYSD bars of Fe-500 are used
They are tied with the help of stirrups & binding wires.
 Pcc and footing concrete
cement concrete in which no reinforcement is provided is called
Plain cement Concrete or Mass Cement Concrete. Plain
Cement Concrete is commonly used in for foundation work and
flooring of buildings.
It is mostly used as a base for footings or the base of ground floor.
The mixing ratio depends upon the grade that we want. PCC is of
M-7.5, so the ratio would be 1:4:8.

Brick work
Masonry walls are the most durable part of any building or
structure. They provide strength,
durability to the structure and also helps to control indoor and
outdoor temperature. It separates a building from outside world.
Masonry is the word used for construction with mortar as a binding
material with individual units of bricks, stones, marbles, granites,
concrete blocks, tiles.
 LINTEL AND STAIRCASE
Lintel is a type of beam used to support the above wall
when openings like doors, windows, etc. are
necessary to provide a building structure. Staircase is an
important component of building providing access to
different floors and roof of the building

CENTERING
Centering is a temporary arrangement and part of
framework which is arranged to support horizontal
members. Centering are mainly provided in floor
slabs and beams.

PLACING OF CONCRETE FOR RCC SLAB

Steps in concreting are as follows:..
Batching
Mixing
Transportation
Compaction
PLASTERING
Plastering is the process of covering rough walls and uneven
surface in theconstruction of houses and other structures with a
plastic material, called plaster. Which is the mixture of lime or
concrete and sand along with required
quantity of water.
CURING
Curing is the process in which the concrete keeps its moisture for
a certain time period to complete the hydration process. Curing
should be done properly to increase the strength of concrete
Required Curing days :
Ordinary Sulphate resistant cement -8 days
Low heat Cement – 14 days
FLOORING
Purpose of flooring is to get a good hard, level and beautiful
surface for living. The floors directly resting on the ground are
known as ground floors while the floors of each storey are
known as upper floors.
PAINTING
Steps involved in painting are as follows:
• Surface preparation
• Apllying primer
• Applying putty
• Applying paint
 CONCLUSION
• Practices and to interact with on field workers. The main objective of the industrial training is to provide an
opportunity to undergraduates to identify observe and practice how engineering is applicable in the real
industry.

• It is not only to get the experience on technical practices but also to observe management

• It was an opportunity to learn the way of work in an organization, the importance of maximum commitment
and the important of team spirit.
