World’s largest Aqueduct on river Mahi My father contributed 6 years in this project as class 1 officer Constructed for - Mahi Aqueduct constructed for crossing the River Mahi at NMC Ch. 142.86 km. Length - 602.5 m Size - It contains 8 Barrels of Size 6.10 m x 7.6 m. Concrete - Total 387 Thousand m3 concrete was poured Steel - 22904 tonne steel was consumed for completion of the structure Time duration - Took more than 9 years! Total concrete volume used in this structure alone is more than that used in the Burj Dubai - the world’s tallest tower (3,30,000 m³). The aqueduct is an engineering marvel and it has been selected for an award by the Indian Institution of Bridge Engineers. The design of the structure has been done in-house by engineers of the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd. The works involved for the mammoth aqueduct structure is 4,30,000 cubic metre of earthwork, 3,67,000 cubic metre of concrete and 22,900 tonne of steel for reinforcement. The aqueduct crosses the river at a height of 25 m above the bed level of Mahi. Total length of the structure is 602.50 metres. It has eight barrels of 6.10 x 7.6 metre size. The length of the aqueduct spanning across the river is 600 metres, having 24 spans of 25 metres each. The height of the super structure is 110 feet above the river bed. The sub-structure consists of 23 piers, each of 3.30 m thickness and average 25 m height. The water flow of 1008.38 m3/s is carried across the river through superstructure of two monoliths having total eight barrels (box structure), each of 6.1 m width and 7.6 m height, supported over 63 m wide piers, and two abutments.
