Odisha wants an underground pipe-irrigation network built for over 5,000 hectares off the Salandi Left Main Canal — a turnkey job in Kendujhar, out for bids until 3 August 2026.
The command area job
The Chief Construction Engineer, Anandapur Barrage Project has floated a turnkey contract to build the distribution system and command-area development (CAD) for 5,177.98 hectares off the Salandi Left Main Canal, from RD 59.970 km to 60.304 km, using a gravity-flow underground pipe network. The department hasn’t published a headline value, so the figure here is estimated from the EMD — read it as roughly ₹50 Cr-plus and confirm the real number in the documents. It’s a national-competitive-bid tender with a generous 180-day validity.
Machines for buried pipe
Underground pipe irrigation across thousands of hectares is trenching at volume. Backhoe loaders and excavators open kilometre after kilometre of line, tippers move spoil and bring bedding sand, and small cranes or the excavators themselves lower pipe. Chambers, valve pits and outlet structures keep a concrete crew ticking along. It’s spread-out, repetitive work — ideal for owners around Kendujhar and Anandapur who can keep a couple of machines running steadily rather than chasing one big pour.
Worth a look if
You handle pipe-network or CAD work and can carry a ₹1.33 Cr EMD (exemption allowed). Turnkey terms mean the design-and-build risk sits with you, so an early read of the alignment and soil data pays off. The tender fee is a light ₹10,000.
