Supplying valves for Newly constructed City

Bagalkot City in Karnataka was facing issues with flooding which continuously left huge parts of the city submerged and practically unlivable. To cope with the need for urban space, Navanagar city was constructed.

The city’s bulk water supply system and wastewater treatment plant has been equipped with AVK valves supplied by AVK India

Expanding the urban area

The new city was designed with 63 sectors spread across 616 hectares of land six km away from the Bagalkot city border. 

Of the 63 sectors, 56 were exclusively meant to rehabilitate those areas affected by the local Almatti Dam which had been contributing to the submergence of the city. The Government of Karnataka acquired 1,821 hectares of land for the Almatti Dam project.

Land was allocated for the people, and they planned for better infrastructure with the Bagalkot Town Development Area (BTDA) department to manage Navanagar’s construction. Once the project is completely finalized, it will be handed over to Municipal corporation.

Support from AVK India

We worked closely with the BTDA department engineer right from the beginning of the project, preparing the detailed project report

We suggested a solution including surge control valves, non-return valves, gate valves, butterfly valves and air valves. Extension spindles and surface boxes were implemented to avoid valve chambers, which means that operation will be cost-effective and easy.

Safe and efficient conditions

The non-return valves were installed in the wastewater treatment plant’s jack well, which is a structure used for accumulating water from surface sources, in this case from the river

The plant’s pump house station is running under safe conditions due to the surge control valves supplied, and with the inclusion of air valves, the entire system is working securely and with reduced risks of harm to equipment or working staff.
