Construction of International Convention Center, Yashobhoomi, Delhi

Cosmos Pumps efficiently dewatered the International Convention Center, Yashobhoomi, Delhi, overcoming challenges posed by accumulated water and ensuring adherence to the project schedule, cost control, and overall success

Overcoming Subterranean Water Challenges

The Problem:

The timely construction of the International Convention Center, Yashobhoomi, Delhi, required effective dewatering of accumulated water on site, which was a challenging task.

Impact:

Effective dewatering was critical to avoid delays and additional costs in the construction of the International Convention Center. Accumulated water on site threatened to impede progress and escalate expenses.

Pumps Used:

All Submersible Pumps (CDW, CSW, CNC, CSL) and Autoprime Pumps (AutoPrime with Canopy CAP EC/MC, AutoPrime without Canopy heavy trolley CAP ET/MT, AutoPrime without Canopy small trolley CAP EW/MW, CAP on Skid)

Effective Dewatering

Solution Implemented

A total of 6 Submersible Pumps (50HP), 12 Pumps (35HP), 15 Pumps (25HP), and 25 Pumps (10HP) were supplied for the dewatering process. Dewatering was carried out by the Cosmos Pumps team four times over four years during excavation and construction. Water accumulated in low-lying areas of the site due to heavy rain. A prompt response team was established to devise a strategy linking these areas to the drainage system through custom-designed headers. Water was efficiently pumped from all affected areas and transferred to specific headers. The accumulated water was then redirected to the main drainage system, clearing the site for ongoing construction.

Results

  • Adherence to Schedule
  • Cost Efficiency
  • Improved Safety
  • Stakeholder Satisfaction
