The CW System Package. In Pictures.

What you see is the work-in-progress pictures of our Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Project at Jhajjar, Haryana. This is a 32 kilometer line that shall supply the much needed water for first-run of the thermal or a cola-fired power plant. The pipe size is 1400 NB MS. More than 30 hydras are currently deployed at this site. The project is currently running ahead of schedule than any other package at IGSTPP and we aim to finish the entire CW Project by the end of May.

•  Good quality: Narrow, deep weld seam
•  High completion rates
•  Low consumable costs (no filler required)
•  Low but concentrated heat input, which results in low and predictable distortion levels
•  Reduced post weld rework
•  No mechanical contact between the laser equipment and the workpieces
•  Joining of widely dissimilar materials is possible............. More here

 

 

Every third child born here bears the name Sandeep. Every septagenarian is refered to as 'Tau'. They only serve kali daal and roti. And lath on occasions. Where could I possibly be and how.

 

This is the hydrostatic test or the water jacket test or simply hydrotesting being carried out at our NTPC Simhadri site for the CW Package. And Hydrostatic testing is a way in which a gas pressure vessel such as a gas cylinder or a boiler is checked for leaks or flaws. In our case a CW system or huge underground pipes. Using this test helps maintain safety standards and durability of a vessel over time. Testing is very important because such containers can explode if they fail when containing compressed gas or liquid.

Another “green” link.

This ones for any one looking for a green collar job. As many as 16 power plants, operated by NTPC, one of the Navratna companies of India, are in “Red Alert” category for belching out the Carbon Dioxide in the country. And by statistics NTPC ranks 4th biggest carbon (read CO2) emitting company in the world. So says CARMA

In fact, NTPC Talcher in Orissa has the notoriety of emitting the biggest quantity of CO2. Phew.

On our wishlist is a Green Building. Just like these ones in India.
