An old command area getting an overhaul

The work is renovation of the canal system of the Hirakud Dam Project, Resham Canal Section, under Barpali Irrigation Division. The portal gives the location as Kudherpadra in Barpali block. The notice is CE AND BM – MB- 09/2026-2027 (Online) from the Chief Engineer and Basin Manager, Mahanadi Basin, Burla.

The Hirakud canals have been running for decades, so renovation usually means desilting, re-sectioning, repairing lining and rebuilding falls, outlets and cross-drainage structures. The BOQ will show the split. It is a percentage rate contract with 730 days.

What it costs to enter

EMD is ₹33,92,600, which is 1 per cent, with no exemption. The fee is ₹10,000. No pre-bid meeting is listed. Bids open at 11:30 AM on 23 October 2026.

Work between crops

Bargarh is double-cropped paddy country, and the canal runs for both kharif and rabi. That leaves short closure windows for the heavy work. Excavators, including long-reach machines, desilt and reshape the section, tippers haul spoil, and compactors rebuild the banks. Structures need concrete mixers and a backhoe loader at each site. Owners in Bargarh, Barpali and Sambalpur should plan availability around the closure dates.
