Tambaram City Municipal Corporation is laying a new underground sewerage network for its Zone-IV wards, and the Directorate of Municipal Administration is taking bids until 12 August 2026.
For pipe-laying and trenching crews working around Chennai, this is a sizeable sanitation package close to home. Here is what the underground sewerage tender asks for.
Scope of the package
The job is the collection system for the Underground Sewerage Scheme (UGSS) serving Peerkankaranai and Perungalathur in Zone-IV of Tambaram City Municipal Corporation, listed as Package No.1 (T1 Urban). Estimated value is ₹211.10 Cr. The work sits in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, and covers the buried sewer lines, manholes and appurtenant structures that make up the collection grid.
Who should think about bidding
A job of this value calls for a contractor with a real track record in water and sanitation pipelines. You will need to clear the technical qualification, put up an earnest money deposit of ₹2.11 Cr, and manage deep-trench work through built-up residential zones. Smaller firms that own trenching and dewatering plant can still find a place here as sub-contractors to the lead bidder.
Plant you will need on the ground
Sewer collection work runs on excavators and backhoe loaders for trenching, dewatering sets to keep the cuts workable, and cranes or hydra units to lower pipe and set precast manhole rings. Tippers haul spoil away and bring in bedding material, and concrete equipment handles the cast-in-situ chambers. Traffic management matters, because much of this runs under live streets.
