2. Review the existing plant layout and collect all details of the layout.
3. Interact with the Process, Piping and Instrumentation engineers for the formulation of the scheme.
4. Prepare the concept and layout of the sumps for effluent collection.

• Identification of the health/present status of the old rising/distribution pipelines through survey of the system and sample analysis.
• Survey of the existing water level and availability of water/sustainability of the sources at the respective location viz. Kumar baste both near Workers College and existing intake well and TISCO’s weir across Swarnrekha River.
• Provide implementation services to the department including.

Supervision of construction work

Technical and administrative services for the implementation and management of projects.

• Preparation and submission of EIA (Environmental impact Assessment) report for the project
• Evolution of an accurate operation philosophy for the project, including OEM material requirement assessment etc.
• Establishing a suitable revenue structure for water through details studies of the region, including socio economic studies.
