TB dam's storage to be limited to 80 tmc
Koppal: The storage of Tungabhadra reservoir at Munirabad will be restricted to 80 tmc (thousand million cubic feet) this season due to the replacement of crest gate 19 by July, Koppal MP K Rajashekar Hitnal said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This is against its full capacity of 101 tmc, supporting only one crop cycle. On August 10 last year, spillway gate no. 19 was displaced. Following the stop log gate installation a week later, the dam's water level decreased from 93 tmc to 70 tmc, Hitnal said on Thursday. The stop log gate installation was completed through the joint efforts of govt engineers, technicians and crest gate specialist N Kannaiah Naidu. He acknowledged the support from Jindal Steels, Hindustan Steels and Narayana Steels in providing the stopgap gate and technical assistance. A technical committee under the Tungabhadra Board, led by former central water commission chairman AK Bajaj, assessed the dam and recommended safety measures. Subsequently, NDSA president Anil Jain examined the dam, suggesting minimal water levels during non-destructive testing (NDT) for thorough evaluation, according to Hitnal. Private firm KSNDT conducted tests, including dye penetration and ultrasonic examinations, on all 33 crest gates and submitted findings on March 25. Their assessment revealed a 40-50% gate thickness reduction from original specifications, suggesting complete gate replacement. Following Naidu's inspection, reinforcement of crest gate frame connections was advised. As complete gate replacement isn't possible this year, water levels must be maintained 12 to 15 feet above spill level, ensuring water availability for single crop cultivation and drinking needs, MP Hitnal said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As per safety guidelines, 2025-26 storage must not exceed 80 tmc and 1,626.06 feet, pending Tungabhadra Board approval. Hitnal said Ahmedabad-based M/s Hardware Tools and Machinery Pvt Ltd will replace Gate 19 for Rs 1.7 crore (excluding GST) by July 2025. Additionally, a Rs 51.9 crore tender was issued on April 17 for replacing the remaining 32 spillway gates within 15 months.

M'sia sent techincal experts to recent IAEA NDT expert mission
KUALA LUMPUR: The involvement of the Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) in the five-day Non-destructive Testing (NDT) expert mission conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Myanmar from April 28 to May 2 showcases the country's capabilities in providing technical experts of international standards in nuclear technology. Nuclear Malaysia said that its involvement in the mission made Malaysia an active contributor to the safety of the global nuclear technology based infrastructure and left a significant positive impact on the country in terms of recognition of technical expertise and exposure, and strengthens its role as IAEA's strategic partner. The mission was also part of the international commitment towards the post-disaster safety of infrastructure following the earthquake that hit Myanmar on March 28. 'Experienced IAEA experts Dr Mohd Noorul Ikhsan Mohamed (Malaysia), Nor Azreen Masenwat (Malaysia) and Abel Domato Jayo (Spain), as well as a technical officer from the IAEA headquarters Gerardo Maghella Seminario were part of the mission. 'They used various NDT techniques including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Infrared Thermography, Rebound Hammer, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) and Rebar Locator to assess the true conditions of building structures affected by the earthquake,' the agency said. The approach enables comprehensive inspections without damaging the original structure and is vital in determining the safety level and suitability for continuous usage, especially after a disaster. 'According to the IAEA, the mission aimed to identify the gaps in local capacity in post-disaster rehabilitation and to strengthen Myanmar's capability in NDT technology in line with international standards. 'Such assessments are part of the IAEA's continuous initiatives in countries like Mexico (2017), Albania (2019), Ecuador (2023), Turkiye (2024) and Syria (2024),' the agency said. Nuclear Malaysia also stressed that the involvement of academics and technical experts from local universities and agencies strengthened the mission objectives, making the collaboration a model for international cooperation in tackling post-disaster civil engineering challenges effectively and sustainably.
