Tehri Hydroelectric Project

Encardio Rite has been a key partner in monitoring the Tehri Hydroelectric Project, India's tallest dam. With a height of 260 m, Tehri Dam is a multi-purpose earth and rock-fill dam located on the Bhagirathi River. Encardio Rite provided extensive instrumentation including inclinometers, piezometers, strain gages, and more for monitoring the dam, underground powerhouse, tunnels, and spillway. These instruments were integral to ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of the dam, with real-time data monitoring since the early 1990s.

Tehri Hydroelectric Project

Tehri Dam, with a height of 260 m and a width of 592 m, is the tallest dam in India. It is a multi-purpose earth and rock-fill dam on the Bhagirathi River near Tehri in Uttarakhand, India. It is one of the world’s largest hydroelectric projects.

Encardio-rite has been associated with the monitoring work of Tehri Dam since the early nineties (April 2018). A large amount of instrumentation has been supplied, installed, and monitored for the dam, underground powerhouse, tunnels, and spillway sections.

The instrumentation plan included inclinometers, piezometers, joint meters, crack meters, strain gages, pressure cells, load cells, plumb lines, borehole extensometers, magnetic extensometers, seepage measurements, reservoir level meters, seismographs, portable readout units, and automatic data acquisition system.
