YOu know the higher officials also said that simultaneously the work of laying the cycle track will continue. They will set up lights, a park area and landscape the earth bund with plants that will strengthen the bund.

The PWD officials have been very good about this. They said that the use of concrete will not affect the fish culture of the lake and will last for over 75 years and this is really a good thing.

Yes. What is great is that this whole concrete thing will set in just about less than a month. It will precisely take some 27 days to 30 days for the concrete to get to the compressive strength of it.

A geo textile material is laid on the slope of the tank and over it will be a hydrotex fabric form which is like a hollow-mattress is installed. Concrete is pumped into it and it will set in around 2 hours.

The bund will have a depth of 7 m and a width of 102 mm. This concrete wall will prevent erosion of the bund and also cover the bund that is under water as well. This will do good.

The concrete wall will be set up along the 1.2 km length of the tank bund beginning at the Karumbukadai area. The corporation will first build a 50 m bund first and will complete the entire stretch in the next two months.

Oh, yes this is great. An nteresting thing is that the technology is called TechRevetment and if ou are using this then there is no need to remove or empty the water to work on the bunds.
