Initial Condition Surveying of Kandy North Pathadumbara Integrated Water Supply Project

SINOHYDRO CORPORATION LIMITED, a company duly organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China whose registered address in Sri Lanka is “Hotel Sunrich, Hedeniya, Kandy, Sri Lanka” was the Contractor of Kandy North Pathadumbara Integrated Water Supply Project. The Project is to provide drinking water facility to six DS divisions in the Kandy District. The project scope consists of 86 km of transmission pipeline and all transmission pipes are ductile iron pipes.

We had the privilege to provide our service to SINOHYDRO CORPORATION LIMITED, for initial condition surveying, covering all adjacent properties to the proposed pipeline routes. We developed a GIS database, containing the existing condition, highlighting the recordable distresses of all the properties along the proposed pipe route, whilst linking necessary photos with GPS coordinates of individual structure.

The job was really challenging due to sensitiveness of the public and social factors of the respective community. Support of our in-house experienced Engineers was the key to our success in this exercise as the proper identification was crucial in terms of structural integrity of the respective properties.
