Traffic and Transportation
An internal multi modal system which includes the provision of facilities for pedestrian, bicycles etc may be suggested. Development of integrated public transport may also be envisaged.
Ample parking and other transportation facilities will be provided.
Some of the innovations in the Traffic and Transportation plan may include Accelerated Construction technology, use of materials such as Stone Matrix Asphalt, Self-Consolidating Concrete,
traffic calming strategies, roundabouts, eco-friendly roads.
Further innovations are possible under INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS involving Planning, design and implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems, designed to maximize transport
network capacity, improve safety and provide the users with increased convenience and potential savings.
2.3
In order to achieve world-class standards for the development the following objectives are defined.
2.3.1
Water Supply
2.3.1.1
Water Treatment and Supply
To provide potable water supply 24 hours per day to every resident and business in the integrated township development area. Moreover, the quality of the supply water should meet WHO
guidelines for drinking water using the latest in treatment process.
The permanent raw water can be obtained from two sources
River
Underground wells.

The water pumped from river or wells has to be treated by a water treatment process before it can be distributed for consumption. The water treatment process would consist of coagulation,
flocculation, setting, filtration, disinfection, taste and odour control and corrosion prevention.
The following diagram generally shows the basic principle.

Sewerage System
Wastewater Collection and Treatment System
Wastewater will be collected from all urban areas using a separated sewerage system and transported to the treatment plant, which will be provided with for advanced treatment.
In order to optimise land use, the proposed wastewater treatment plant will be one of compact design. Instead of using the conventional Activated Sludge Pond (ASP) system, a more advance
Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) system may be adopted. MBR is a promising new technology of wastewater treatment system. It has many advantages such as higher quality of treated water,
smaller space for installation and easier operation compared to conventional ASP systems for sewage treatment.
For irrigation, new ideas can be further incorporated using a series of landscaped wetlands to polish this water further and create a riparian eco-zone along the existing water courses.
2.3.3
2.3.3.1

Storm water Quantity and Quality
To provide integrated township development area with a dedicated storm water system of sufficient capacity to avoid flooding of the urban areas, and environmentally friendly storm water
treatment systems including water sensitive urban design (WSDU) and to encourage reuse of storm water for non-potable purposes.
2.3.3.2
Storm water Drainage Collection System
For the integrated township development area, it is common now to have the storm water and wastewater collection systems separated. This concept will reduce the required capacity of the
wastewater treatment plant since the separated system approach no longer needs to deal with the high peak flows associated with flood events.

Water Quality of Surface water
The storm water system designed for the integrated township area must take into account the storm water quantity as well as the water quality aspect.
Storm water drainage systems can be designed so that it can meet the higher expectations of the future inhabitants of this modern development and the use rainwater runoff for non-potable
applications such as landscaping, flushing, fire fighting and district cooling.
The traditional method of urban storm water design is based on the principle of collection and immediate disposal of urban runoff as quickly as possible. This results in an increased runoff
volume and flow velocity, and results in greater volume of pollutant wash-off from the site.
For integrated township development, a new concept of urban storm water drainage design known as water sensitive urban design (WSDU) will be introduced, which will minimize the impact on
the environment of urban development. It consists of improvement of the existing natural waterways and inclusion of more water body areas for water retention.
The various residential, commercial and recreational areas will be provided with adequate urban drainage systems that are sensitive to the environment. It utilizes the principles of infiltration,
detention, and preservation of storm water runoff both in quantity and quality, for later use. It includes water bodies for detention of storm water such as detention pond areas along the existing
canals to reduce peak flows and enhance the water quality. This can be achieved with bio-retention systems of tanks, wetlands, swales, rain gardens and impervious pavements for achieving
cleaner storm runoff. The figure below shows a typical example.

Solid Waste Collection and Disposal
Solid waste will be collected from every premise at least once a day by hygienic methods. Solid waste will need to be disposed in dedicated and managed landfill site. A more environmentally
friendly solution is using Seraphin technology that is in place in Vietnam now. This process has the advantage to fully process the solid waste.

Waste recycle areas can be incorporated to encourage recycling of glass paper and other wastes. This will reduce waste volumes and encourage reuse.
Waste Management studies comprise: Waste characterization; Assessment of waste generation; Collection system review; Waste disposal systems; Institutional assessment; financial
assessment and funding arrangements. One example of such a project is the sector assessment CPG carried out for the World Bank and Guangdong Province on Solid Waste Management of
Guangzhou Municipality. The Study covered municipal solid waste, septic sludge & night soil, industrial solid waste, including hazardous waste.
Seraphin technology is a new system that has the advantage to fully process the solid waste. Here the solid waste can be processed in three portions of the three different processes:
High-pressure process for waste plastics
Micro organism process for organic waste
Permanent solid formation process for solid inorganic waste

Power
2.4.1
Electricity Power Network
In the master planning exercise, we will consider meeting the following objectives for the electricity network:
Self sufficiency - Power generation and distribution infrastructure to be built within the development to cater to the impending demand;
Peak demand - The capacity of power generation plant capacity and the supporting infrastructure to cater for the peak demand.
It is also important to consider location of the power plant in relation to the heavy load centers, residential areas and business hubs (if any).
2.4.2
Alternatives for Electricity Generation
We will analyse the various alternative means of power generation and recommend the most cost effective means of generation, based on data collected. Possibilities include but not limited to
the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and Distributed Generation:

Temporary Electrical Power
Based on the data available it is of utmost importance to determine the availability of adequate electrical power. This availability will affect the construction of the SEZ. It is therefore important to
consider the phasing of the construction programme and the completion of the various phases. We will consider in our master plan the demand of the temporary electrical power for the various
phases and whether, in later phases, they can be taken off from any generation plant that could be built in earlier phases.
The area for the Development is large and the mode of distribution of temporary power is also a critical factor to consider during our master plan.
2.4.6
District Chilled & Hot Water Supply
We will evaluate the feasibility of using district chilled and hot water supply (DCHWS). From a central source, cooling chilled water will be supplied as a common utility for air-conditioning and
hot water will be supplied for domestic uses such as showers and bath as well as for space heating Thus, chilled and hot water comes from a central plant (from the CHP if used) rather than
being generated on site at each facility. An economic evaluation of piping and pumping costs against the cooling and heating requirements will be carried out to establish the most suitable
supply of chilled water and hot water temperatures.
Thermal storage which enables the flexible and reliable use of chilled and hot water in meeting varying load demands from consumers will be assessed. This permits peak cooling and heating
loads to be met with less than peak cooling and heating capacity and less than peak power consumption, while water is chilled or heated and stored in the thermal storage system. During offpeak periods, when there is excess cooling or heating capacity, thermal storage system is recharged to conserve energy.
The electrical supply system establishes the network of substations and underground distribution system. The total power demand estimated for the entire SEZ is about 200 MVA. Current power
supply sources are investigated even as use of renewable energy resources is explored to meet the demand. Intelligent building systems and green technologies are used to minimize energy
consumption and maximize performance. For example, district cooling stations would be established to provide air conditioning to offices, commercial and residential areas etc.
2.5
The development will eventually be a world class project with modern amenities. Telecommunication is one aspect that can help to speed up the process. In many countries, it is one important
driving factor that differentiates one project from another. The development will require a basic fixed landline and mobile phone network. More importantly it should be equipped with a high
speed data network.

Common Services Tunnel (CST) FOR Long Term
The plan proposes the use of a comprehensive network of Common Services Tunnel's (CST's) to serve the future developments within the CBD.
CST's are purpose-built underground tunnels which run under the road reserve of the arterial and service roads and house utility service lines such as water pipes, electricity cables and
telecommunication lines. These utilities are serviced from within the tunnel. Comprehensive CST's systems are in operation in Japan and are currently planned for in Singapore.
One of the key benefits of using CST's is that changes in demand for utility services can be easily met as additional cables and pipes can be installed within the tunnels. This ensures that the
city's infrastructure can be upgraded and served by the ever-changing digital platforms required for a city of the 21st century.
Other benefits include a reduction of disruption to traffic as road excavation is not needed for services maintenance or laying of new services and a greater reliability in utility services as regular
preventative maintenance work is possible.

We will evaluate the feasibility of investing in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and Distributed Generation for the development. A CHP is the simultaneous generation of usable heat (for
central heating and cooling purposes) and power (as electricity supply) in a single process. The basic components of a CHP plant comprise one or more prime movers (e.g. gas turbines utilizing
natural gas) driving electrical generators to produce electricity. The heat generated in the process is utilised for one or more of the following purposes:
To be channelled to steam boilers for production of steam to further generate electricity through steam turbine.
To be channelled to heat exchangers to produce high temperature hot water for distribution as domestic hot water and space heating source.
To be channelled to absorption chillers to produce district chilled water for space cooling.
As electricity is being generated on site within the development, CHP can provide a secure and highly efficient method of generating electricity and heat at the point of use. CHP typically
achieves 35 per cent less primary energy usage compared with power stations and heat only boilers due to utilisation of heat from electricity generation and the avoidance of transmission
losses.
The purpose of the feasibility analysis is to provide enough information on project economics to allow the Developer to make decisions regarding the investment, while minimising time and
money spent.
2.4.3
High Voltage Power Reticulation Network
It is important to consider the areas of substantial electricity usage or load centres. The Network will emanate from the main intake electrical sub-station, which is fed from the power grid from
power generating plants and/or the electricity utility company. These are then connected to the various satellite sub-stations at the various load centres. All HV transmission and distribution
could be carried out through a network of underground power cables. The master plan will consider the need of underground services versus overhead ones.
We will consider network reliability and the economic voltage level for the transmission and distribution. Ring or mesh configuration will be evaluated.
The location of distribution centers will also be determined in our master plan. The power will be stepped down in these distribution centers to useable voltage levels and brought to the
respective development zones for further distribution.

SITE ASSESSMENT
Introduction
A site visit was carried out as a precursor to the concept planning that is being carried out by HOK Planning Group, USA. The workshop and the site visit were to understand and appreciate the
uniqueness of the site that poses challenges on major aspects of planning as well as infrastructure. The meet facilitated the brain storming process to generate multiplicity of ideas that could be
valuable to the master planning process. The major purpose was to tailor the creative process towards idea generation and allowing it to evolve and unfold into a possible scheme that adapts
and celebrates the uniqueness of the site.
As water has been observed as a major challenge in the project, the information pertaining to a sustainable water management, sewage disposal and storm water drainage are collected during
the site visit.
A 132 KV electric line passes through the southern portion of the site. The option of relocating this line may be explored.
3.2
Location and regional connectivity
The site is located in Uttarpara municipality, about 12 kilometres from Kolkata city. The site is well connected to Kolkata City and is approached by TN Mukherjee Road on the southern side
which connects to NH-2 passing through Kolkata. There are two roads on the northern side connecting the site to immediate settlements. The site also abuts a busy suburban rail network and is
in proximity to two stations- Konnagar and Hindustan Motors Station. The HM station is very near to the site and presently used exclusively for HM factory.
Presently the main access to the site is through the southern side from T N Mukherjee Road and passing through the HM factory premises. Another entry is from the northern side through the
densely populated settlements in the Konnagar area.

Immediate Surroundings
The site was previously a part of the HM factory and subsequently sold to Bengal Shriram Hi-Tech City Ltd. Even now the south-eastern boundary of the site is shared by HM factory. The
eastern boundary is touching the suburban rail network. The western side is waterlogged marshy land with sparse population and offers an opportunity for future expansion. Dense settlements
are located on northern and southern sides of the project site. Residents of these settlements use the hospital and school located in the HM premises and passes through the site for using
these facilities.
3.4
Topography and vegetation
The proposed site as observed from the site visit is largely covered by water bodies. The current condition is a mixture of natural topography and the low level areas that were created as the site
was used as a borrow pit for the Hind Motor site during construction. The terrain is having elevations ranging between 46.5m and 49.5m (arbitrary bench mark levels) with an average slope of
1in 300. The soil is generally silty clay, clayey silt and at deeper levels dense sand has been observed. The site contains patches of vegetation predominantly along the road and has grown over
a period of time. The test track is lined by fully grown trees on either side. A larger area along the north-eastern side of the test track is thickly vegetated.
3.5
Climate
Monsoon is the most notable phenomenon in the climate of the city. Maximum rainfall occurs during the monsoon in August (306 mm) and the average annual total is 1,582 mm. The maximum
recorded rainfall in the past 50 years is 62mm/24hour

Test Track
A S S E S S M E N T
19
A 3.5m wide test track about 2 km long is located on the northern portion of the site. This was previously used to test the cars produced in the HM factory. The track is paved with dressed rubble
in an uneven manner so as to create different test conditions. Raking is provided at the turnings and paved with concrete. Either sides of the track are lined with trees which are now fully grown
and giving a good ambiance to it.
3.6.2
Canal
A canal of average 12m width runs through the site collecting the water from the site and disposing it off to the drainage canal on the southern side eventually connecting it to the river. This
canal is both natural and partly built and is ineffective or partially effective in draining due to heavy silt deposition. It overflows and most of the surrounding areas are water logged. A proper
dredging and training exercise is required to make the canal functional.
3.6.3
Water logging
About one-third of the site is full of water and the site acts as a catchment area to the surroundings due to its lower elevation. A considerable portion is marshy with the possibility of water
logging in the rainy season. A proper drainage scheme is required to resolve the issues related to water logging.

Site Connectivity
A map study along with a site visit to the proposed project site has presented valuable inputs to understand the movement of vehicles and people in the region. Also it gives a peek into the
overall development that is currently served by the transport network notably the road connectivity. The development of any area impacts the mobility of the people that are part of the
development. Transport forms the lan-vital of any development, hence it is imperative to understand the transport phenomena in all its aspects such as Speed, safety, and adequacy. Today,
before any development is proposed the first concern that is addressed is accessibility. Or vice versa any improved accessibility brings in more development. The efficiency of transport network
undoubtedly translates into economic success. As part of the infra planning, access to the site has been looked at from different perspectives. Primarily the focus has been the road net work in
the region which not only connects locally but to the rest of the state. An exclusive and multi pronged approach was adopted to facilitate decision making. Yet the approach will be flexible to
match the requirements of the Master planning within the site.

There are two possible locations on the northern side by road. Currently the site is accessed by an existing local road that (already in use by the local residents) has a possibility of widening to
facilitate entry into the site from the northern side. The other possibility is the road (Konnagar Road) abutting the site (which currently is inundated with water).
Access is possible at the southern end (on T N Mukherjee Road) close to the canal which also is apparently under water except for the strip of land (road) that is currently used by the
developments in the vicinity. The existing road can also be used as access as it connects to NH -2.
Other access at the southern side is the entry to the Hind Motors factory which currently is a major access at the site. Since this access is already being used by Hind motors, this can cater to
the locals more as a social responsibility.
Rail Connectivity
The site is connected by the suburban train network on the east with commuter stations on the east. Currently the nearest station is Hind Motor station while the other is at Konnagar. The Hind
motor station can as well be used in the beginning by extending the platform further to wards the site until a separate station being included for the Shriram site by Railway Department.

Constructing a new road to act as a main entry to the proposed IT township
Access on the northern side

This road travels from Western side of Kolkata to eastern side and passes just above the project site on North. This road is the main access for the people to travel from east-west and vice
versa. This road is considered important as it also intersects Durgapur Expressway and NH-2. Figure below shows the access road on Northern side of the project site.

Figure 4.2 Showing Access Road on Northern Side of the Project Site
The advantage of this road is it connects the project site from all the major roads including NH-2, Durgapur Expressway and Old GT Road. This road can be made into a major access to the
project side. However, there are few drawbacks that need to be addressed before considering such proposal, they are:
o
The road already carries higher volume than the capacity, hence it requires widening or lane addition
The geometry of the road is not good having many undulations and sharp curves requiring major geometry corrections
High level of road side friction due to road side activities requiring a partial or full access control, which a tedious task.
Access on the southern side

Access from the southern side exists from two roads, through T N Mukherjee Road which travels from Western side and connects the main entrance of the Hind motors after intersecting
Durgapur Expressway and Nh-2. Other access is from the arterial road which connects NH-2, immediately after Vivekananda 2nd Bridge through old GT Road. Both of these roads are already
being used by Hind Motors. Figure below shows the access roads on Southern side of the project site.

Commuting By Suburban Train
The site is well connected by the suburban train network on the east. The railway track is abutting the project site with commuter stations on the east. The local trains starts from Howrah station,
Bally, Uttarpara, Hindustan Motors, Konnagar, Rishra, Serampore, Sheroraphuli, etc. Currently the nearest station is Hind Motor station while the other is at Konnagar. The Hind motor station
can as well be used in the beginning by extending the platform further to wards the site until a separate station being included for the Shriram site by Railway Department.
4.1.3
Alternative Proposed Connection
The existing local roads are unlikely to bear the traffic burden owing to the generated and attracted traffic once the area is developed. Capacity augmentation is necessary after checking for the
adequacy of the existing roads.

Construction of New Main Entry Road
It is being contemplated to provide an alternative access from the National Highway-2 which at a close distance connects the Durgapur expressway. This access will be exclusive to the site and
it is to be accommodated over an existing canal (a distance of about 500m) and connects the site (almost in the middle) on the western side. This will require land acquisition for a length of
about 3km. This kind of proposal looks to be viable for the magnitude of Shriram project. However, it requires a technical and financial study before coming to a conclusion. Whether the
proposed access road is to be built as a fully access controlled or as a partially access controlled will be decided during the planning process. Depending upon the traffic estimation the RoW
requirement can be assessed. But in any case minimum of 40 m wide will be required for the kind of traffic being expected at site after development.

Access Control by Interchanges
Also two interchanges need to be proposed to facilitate fast movement of traffic on to the proposed access road. One interchange will be required at the intersection of proposed access road
with NH-2. A trumpet interchange would be sufficient here to provide a stop and wait free movement of vehicles. Similarly another trumpet interchange is required at the intersection of Durgapur
Interchange and NH-2. Though, this interchange falls outside the purview of proposed access road, for high speed and efficient connectivity this interchange is a must. Since many users travel
along Durgapur Expressway and NH-2 this interchange will facilitate fast entry and exit of the vehicles on to the proposed access road. Since, proposal of this interchange also benefits the
thorough traffic of NH-2 and Durgapur, cost sharing can be worked out between NHAI, Shriram Properties, WB Govt. A rough sketch is presented below showing the proposed connectivity
discussed so far:

Road Inventory Details of Connecting Roads
A fair assessment of the current condition of roads in terms of their widths, traffic (capacity and level of service), surface condition, roadside development are essential inputs to suggest
commensurate improvement and estimate their cost. This will be vital inputs into the financial model of the enterprise and effective ways of cost sharing between the state and the developer can
be worked out.
The Road Inventory details of the existing arterial roads shall be collected from the respective departments or by recording the physical features along and across the roads in a prescribed

It is expected that the proposed development will have IT/BPO offices, the IT and BPO industry will have employees of medium to high net worth individuals. It is expected that people prefer
travelling by different modes like personal vehicle, company run transport, public transport etc. There are very few studies are available on the modal splits this kind of developments, Also most
of the studies available are for the mixed traffic in urban areas and are not reliable for IT/BPO Industry profile.

Traffic Circulation
Traffic circulation flow shall be based upon safety and efficiency in operations. Traffic circulation plan shall be prepared based on which the internal road network will be planned in the proposed
master plan. Following criteria will govern traffic circulation:
4.4.1
To provide high mobility to all people and goods within the IT Township with efficient and equitable basis
To enable high degree of accessibility amongst different activity centers
To discourage non-destined traffic
To provide safety to pedestrians, bicyclists, and non-motorised modes
Peak Flows
The expected peak flows will be between 8.00 A.M. to 10.00 A.M in the morning and 5.00 to 7.00 pm in the Evening.
4.4.2
Average Speeds
Though a thoroughfare is provided with a central corridor the average speed is not likely to exceed 30 kmph. Speeds are better restricted to 20 kmph with appropriate traffic management
measures to promote efficient circulation and ensure pedestrian safety. The entry speeds of vehicles at the ramps are likely to be in the range of 10-15 kmph
4.4.3
Traffic Flow Directions
Based on the proposed development within the site and the traffic that is likely to be generated the directional flow will determine the traffic assigned on the road network. A preliminary
assessment is that local traffic will enter and leave from North and South directions in equal proportions. Whereas traffic from considerable distances (range 10 to 15kms) are likely to use the
exclusive access from the national Highway. A rough preliminary estimate of 45 to 50% of the traffic is likely to come via the national highway and Durgapur expressway through the exclusive
access Bengal Shriram is proposing. 25 to 30 % could be local traffic commuting less than 10km. The balance commuters, 20 to 25% would use the local trains. However the planning process
should encourage of mass transit

Bus Bays
Since the majority of the office spaces are likely to attract IT and BPO, bus bays to accommodate the expected bus traffic will be accommodated to provide safe and efficient transport.
4.4.5
Pavement Design
Various kinds of pavement types are available like, Flexible, Rigid, composite, paver blocks, etc. one of the main parameters that determines the type of the pavement is water table level. The
water table level at the project site is at higher level and is prone to water logging (at least for a limited period ) the choice of pavement could have a bearing on the initial and maintenance
costs. As the soil is silty and clayey silt in nature measures to lower the water table by sand drains and low level embankment may become necessary. As per the standards the level difference
between the water table and top of Sub grade shall be 1.5m.
The pavement design shall be carried as per IRC: 37 and IRC: 58 depending upon the type of pavement. The life cycle cost analysis shall also be done to recommend the selection of best
pavement option.
4.4.6
Typical Cross Sections
Typical cross sections are planned showing carriageway along with pedestrian ways, bicycle-ways which also forms the core of the transportation plan serving both major vehicle and people
movement in the proposed IT Township
The principle encompassed in finalizing the cross sections is to provide road hierarchy, transit and other movement systems aligned to activity intensity patterns and uses. The road system and
road design are based on passenger cars and two wheelers and occasional commercial vehicle movements in and out of the campus. Bicycle paths are laid out to serve people who prefer
travelling intra and inter campus trips. The road hierarchy system consists of 40m major arterial, 24 m main collector, 12 and 9 m local roads.
Design of internal roads is another important aspect to cater to the high volume of generated traffic. Also, as the site is prone to water logging for prolonged periods the road formation has to be
placed well above the water table level with provision of subsurface drainage, sub grade treatment and selection of appropriate paving material ranging from paver blocks ,cement concrete to
Bituminous surface.

Conclusions
Transportation Infrastructure of the project site is revived in view of providing fast and efficient regional connectivity to the proposed IT Township. It is very critical to provide excellent regional
connectivity to the proposed IT Township in order to meet the requirements of estimated traffic. The existing roads providing access to the project site are very narrow and will not in way meet
the requirements of the proposed IT Township. Providing new road as main access to the proposed IT Township as discussed in the Inception report will be a catalyst for placing the proposed
IT Township at par with other world class developments.

Objective
In the current scenario, the management of water resources, water reform and conservation through scientific and sustainable treatment have become important goals for the economic wellbeing and for developing an environmentally balanced township.
For the proposed IT Township, effort is made to collect the inputs and required assessments made to implement appropriate technologies required to practice and operate the water
management systems efficiently, catering to a construction area of approximately 30 million sq ft and a population consisting of 40000 residential and 30000 floating. The following objectives
were kept in view during the assessment.
5.2
To provide a qualitative and sustainable water supply management
Resorting additional water generation by treating sewage.
Facilitate clean disposal of sewage by appropriate and commercially viable technology.
To bring in the latest in solid waste management with underlying philosophy of Zero waste.
Topography-Runoff of the Site
The site levels vary from 46.5 (min) to 49.5 (max) with an average level of 48.0 m (arbitrary). It has a frontage of 3.4 kames along the western side. The site is having a natural slope from north
to south. The runoff flows from north east to west and mixes with the runoff which flows from north to south. Then it flows towards south. Since the site itself acts as a catchment area for the
local region in an overall perspective, it is predominantly waterlogged for most of the year. The existing canal helps in carrying water outside the side, but now it is shallow and needs desilting
and dredging.
Maximum Rainfall of Kolkata is 6.2 cm/hour. The Annual Rainfall of Kolkata is 1600 mm and the last year rainfall of West Bengal is 1437 mm

River Hoogly
The river Hoogly is having catchment area of 861404 sq. km.The river side level is higher than the site level by 3-4 m in an average length of 2.5 km distance i.e. forming a slope of 1:600.
(Considering the formation level as 49 m assumed from the given arbitrary levels and based on reliable secondary data).
The observations are as below:
It is understood that the groundwater is banned. Hence the considerable water resource available in this area is river Hoogly. However it is also considered as available sources subject to the
confirmation of the banning of the ground water source.
5.4
Proposed Intake from river Hoogly and Water Quality
Intake sources water from river Hoogly at Koturung municipality near village Bally at Uttarpara city has been considered and checked visually. Source of water from river Hoogly at Koturung
municipal area around 1.5 km away from village Bally and 1 km away from municipal intake
Data observed from the proposed intake source are as follows.
Water level approximately 2 mtr below ground level.
Existing municipal source raw water is not having remarkable excess turbidity.
Anticipated contamination during monsoon may be more.
Color of water not colourless
The empty land available approx 1.25 acres
Existing space is used as waste dumping.

Water Source
The major source of water for integrated IT Township is from river Hoogly which is about 2.5 km from the site. Though the ground water availability is abundant it is restricted for potable use due
to high content of arsenic in the ground water which is deleterious to health. It is estimated that about 40,000 permanent people would reside in the park and about 30,000 people would be the
floating population. It is estimated that about 8.5 MLD of water would be required for process and non potable use like horticulture and Air Conditioning chilling units. The total requirement of
water for various usages including losses is worked approximately which is about 8.5 MLD.

Intake Arrangements
An intake location has been identified and proposed on the banks of the river Hoogly at the Koturung municipality. The river is flowing at higher elevation and proposed IT Township site is at
lower elevation, where the level difference is about 2 m. The land proposed for intake structure measures about 1.25 acres. The source of water for the park needs to be planned, keeping in
mind future growth and demand. Therefore it is proposed to consider the size of intake structure for about 13 MLD. However, it is proposed to consider the requirement of electro-mechanical
items for 8.5 MLD. On observation the quality of water in the river is less turbid. The quality of raw water needs to be ascertained for understanding the parameters as per IS 2296, so that an
appropriate treatment process would be proposed.
Figure 5.4:
5.5.4
Water supply arrangement- schematic
Raw Water Transmission Main
It is proposed to lay an exclusive raw water pumping main from intake works upto water treatment plant at the site for a distance of approximately 3 kms. The economic size of pumping main will
be worked out and material of MS or DI. If MS pipe is proposed, the pipe will be lined inside with cement mortar and outside guinted. During the site visit the consultants have explored the
Page 45 of 81

possibility of laying the raw water pumping main along the existing alignment where the Uttarpara municipality has laid the pipe line. However, detailed investigation of the route is required for
the space availability and also acceptance by the concerned authorities for laying the pipeline. If not, an alignment would need to be surveyed and proposed.
5.5.5
Raw Water Storage Reservoir
The source of water is adequate through out the year and abundant water is available in the river always. Though the raw water from the river could be pumped as per the designed number of
hours, it would be better to store some volume of the raw water in IT Township premises for uninterrupted and assured water supply during maintenance of intake works and pumping main.
Therefore, it is proposed to store the raw water in the storage reservoir. A reservoir is proposed to be constructed in the IT Township near the treatment plant so that, water from the reservoir
would be about 2 to 3 days water requirement.
Considering the fact 6 acres of land is required for storage reservoir including WTP, clear water reservoir and elevated storage tank. The decision for the storage reservoir will be an out come of
deliberations with the master planning team.
5.5.6
Water Treatment Plant
Presently the Kolkata metropolitan/municipality maintains an intake and water treatment plant at Uttarpara. The consultant have visited the plant at Uttarpara and had discussions with the staff
and gathered information.
The treated water requirement is for drinking purpose, process industries and cooling purposes. A conventional water treatment process with aeration, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration
and chlorination system would be adequate for house hold, commercial institutions water supply. Where as, demineralization process would be required for process water supply, etc. It is
required to asses the exact requirement of process water based on the type and number of units in the site. Only the required quantity raw water is taken to conventional treatment plant for
drinking water supply and the remaining quantity will be diverted to demineralization plant or any, for process requirement.

Schematic Map showing the location of WTP, OHT and distribution network
It is proposed to earmark land in the extruded portion towards North of plot as shown in figure for location of WTP. The treated water will be stored in the underground reservoir and pumped to
elevated reservoir for distribution. A pump house at the WTP premises will be constructed with necessary pumps and piping arrangements. The location of elevated storage tanks/ground level
storage tanks will be decided based on the topography of the site. The land is about 3 km long northsouth and level difference is about 2.5 m, location and number of elevated tanks will be
worked for required pressure in the distribution network. As per the standard norm, minimum of 7 to 8 m residual head is proposed in the distribution network. One elevated tank at WTP
premises and another at suitable location after freezing out master plan would be required to be constructed in order to get minimum pressure.

Distribution Network
The treated water will be distributed through a network of pipes laid through out the IT Township. It is proposed to use HDPE pipes for distribution network and size of pipe would vary form 100
mm to 500 mm. Total length of distribution pipelines would be about 14 km. However the actual length of network will be worked out after finalization of the master plan.
5.6
Sewerage
A well planned sewerage system is necessary for collection, transportation and treatment of wastewater/sewage generated from residential, commercial and institutional establishment in IT
Township. About 6.8 MLD of sewage treated water will be generated.
Concept of sewage disposal from the end use of water line to STP through sewage collecting branch line, main sewer line and trunk sewer line finally to the River Hoogly is as shown below. The
possibility of disposing in near by nala adjacent to south-east will be explored.

Sewage Collection Network
It is proposed to lay sewer line for collection of sewage. The approximate length of the sewers would be 10 kms. The size of sewers would vary from 150 mm in dia to 300 mm dia. Sewers
would be RCC pipes or stoneware pipes, and manholes would be RCC or brick construction depending upon ground water condition. It would be better to provide RCC manholes in the water
logged areas. As per the preliminary design concept about 230 to 250 manholes would required to be constructed. Trunk sewers will be laid to carry sewage from the IT Township upto STP.
The topography of land is flat with gentle sloping from north to south with a level difference of about 2.5 m. Providing sewerage system poses a big challenge due to high water table and flat
topography of the land. The depth of manholes would be high in some stretches as the sewage is to be carried by gravity. If the depth of manholes is very high, wet wells need to be planned
with necessary pumps and pipe arrangements for collection and pumping of sewage to higher elevation. A detailed survey of the land and soil investigation will guide for proper planning and
designing of sewerage system for the IT Township.
5.6.2
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
The sewage generated needs treatment before disposing into natural water body, meeting the Pollution Control Board norms. The effluent from sewage treatment plant (STP) shall meet
minimum 20/30 criteria (the effluent shall have 20 mg/l BOD and 30 mg/l of SS) before disposing into natural water body. It is proposed to reuse the sewage treated water from STP for
horticulture and AC units.
Selection of STP depends upon the type of sewage generated and final use of effluent, land availability and capital cost. The sewage generated is of domestic sewage type in nature. The type
of STPs which could be adopted for the IT Township is Activate Sludge Process (ASP), Trickling Filters (TF) and Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR).
The TF - STP is advantageous in terms of operation and maintenance cost is considered, however investment is costlier as huge land is required for setting up of the treatment
facility. Land requirement will be approximately to the tune of 25 acres and it requires an investment of Rs one crore.
Area required for ASP-STP is about 3 to 4 acres for the sewage generated, and the capital cost for setting up of treatment facility would be about Rs 1 crore.
MBR-STP requires about 0.5 acres for the sewage generated, and the capital cost for setting up of treatment facility would be about Rs 10 crores.

Considering the cost economics, ASP-STP would be better option for the IT Township to treat the sewage. Again the effluent from this STP would be recycled for process water/makeup water
for AC chilling plants, and horticulture purposes. The remaining treated effluent will be discharged into nearby Nala/water body.
A detailed cost economics will be worked out for selection of type of STP and the same will be decided later.
A separate pipeline from STP outlet upto the buildings for reuse for AC, horticulture use, etc., will be provided after finalization of the building units.

The WASTE BUDGET and segregation is anticipated in the broader classifications as shown below:
Solid waste
House hold waste (Sources from Residential)
Bio infection waste (Sources form SEZ canteen, Hotel, Restaurant etc.)
E-waste (Sources from SEZ area)
Recyclable waste (sources from SEZ and domestic)
Waste generation is anticipated total tune of minimum 20 and maximum 40 tons/day based on the municipal waste generation.
5.7.1
Bio Medical Waste
The anticipated waste generation will be tune of 40 tons.

The source of generation of bio medical waste will be the tune of 300 kg
The detailing of the waste generation by classification will be possible in latter stage after freezing the master plan and space utility.
5.7.1.2
Infectious Waste
It is to note here that the infectious waste being generated from Hospital which consist of drugs, expired drugs, plaster are hazardous, toxic and even lethal because of the high potential for
disease transmission. This also comprises of infectious, bio medical and radio active materials like hypodermics needles, knives etc. constitute great risk in order to have safe solid waste
disposal. The rules made by ministry of Environment and Forest Govt. of India will be followed.
Note: Considering the shallow water table of the site the rain water harvest is not considered at present. However in case of requirement, Rain water harvest will be taken care by having a storm
water pond in landscape in future.

Conclusion
Based on the requirement of infrastructure facilities envisaged by client all the infrastructural related issues in respect of water supply, sewage, drainage, rain fall and waste generation have
been assessed. The assessment is made on the basis of information collected. The required observations during the site visit and the inputs of related issues have been analyzed tentatively to
understand overall conceptualization. However requirement has been verified based on secondary as well. A Zero waste approach of handling solid waste management is seriously considered
to have a clean IT Township.
The requirement of water and the population are considered based on the in puts given by the client. Adequate research and analysis has been carried out in evolving a technology with due
consideration of techno-commercial and socio factors. Rain water harvesting on a large scale is not considered under the proposed development. The recommendation are based on the
preliminary assessment, a clear picture of the requirements will be possible based on inputs from the evolved master plan.

STORM WATER DRAINAGE
Objectives & Design criterion
The storm drainage is proposed to be planned without the detention storage at the site without detriment to the settlements around the site. The catchments characteristics and the drainage
pattern in the vicinity apart from storm runoff have to be studied to estimate the impact on the storm drainage network. While the catchments for the internal storm drain network will be the site
area of 314 acres, for the macro drainage the adjoining areas are also included. It may become imperative that entry of outside water into the site need to be stopped. The site is to be filled up
to facilitate easy drainage of storm water.
6.2
6.3
Preliminary Assessment
a.
Total area to be drained is 500 acres (314 acres of IT Township + 185 acres from outside IT Township (from northern side)
b.
No detention pond or storage of storm water is proposed. The major drains are designed to cater for the highest rain fall intensity (65 mm / hour).
c.
The water from the south-west corner of the site is to be drained out to river Hoogly by gravity (preferably) along the existing drainage
d.
The existing natural drainage / drains will be filled and closed.
e.
The new regime of flow in no way be detrimental to the existing settlements.
Design Concept & Procedure
All the storm water is collected from minor / medium drains and carried through major drains and disposed off from the south west end. Storm drains are designed as per the procedure
described by IRC SP-42 code. Design procedure is briefly described below.
Rainfall intensity considered = 65mm / hour
Area to be drained = 500 acres ( =314 acres of IT Township + 185 acres outside the IT Township from northern direction )=210 Hectares
Coefficient of run off considered=0.6
Velocity of flow through drain considered = 2m /sec at critical flow ( drain slope =1 in 2000 )
Maximum length of drain from point of inlet to outlet = 3000m

Proposed Storm Water drainage.
The storm drainage is proposed without any detention storage at the site .Existing drains in the area need to be filled & closed. There are two major parallel drains that (runs North to South, and
discharge at the South end of site) is proposed to carry all storm water (Refer sketch) along the periphery of the long North -South arm of the site . These drains are of the size 5m wide and 4m
deep. The drains shall be covered at the top to use it as a pedestrian facility or for bicycle track. The water from the south-west corner from major drains of the site is to be drained out to river
Hoogly by gravity (preferably) along the existing drainage channels. Gravity flow is proposed for the storm water flow. Other than the major drains, medium drains (refer sketch-Size 3m wide x
3m Sdeep) are proposed for collection of storm water from the major roads proposed in the site. One medium sized drain is proposed to collect water from the additional area (from north side of
the proposed IT Township, out side our proposed area) and discharges into one of the major drain. As the natural down slope of the terrain is from east towards west there will be no inflow of
storm water from the western side of the site. Similarly, from the eastern side (Hind Motor site) there will be no inflow into the site. A network of minor drains (1m wide x 1.5 m deep) will be
connected to the medium drains to carry run-off from the proposed developments.

Preliminary Assessment.
The following points have been understood from site visit and discussions with Bengal shriram group.
Power cannot be tapped from the existing overhead line.
Hind Motor exists with 132 kV sub-station.
There no space available to add number of bays to install switchgear and Transformers for feeding power to the proposed development.
The existing line feeding Hind Motor is in adequate to feed the proposed development.
Discussions with WBSEB have to be conducted to ascertain the availability of power in phased manner to the proposed development.
As per the present power scenario in the Eastern Region there is a short fall in grid power by around 0.01%
Alternative power supply options have to be checked.

Options of power supply
7.5.1
Grid power
Grid power is the primary source at 220 kV or 132 kV / 11 kV or 33 kV by promoter or if feasible by government
The total power requirement to the proposed development is around 165 MVA / 132 MW. Considering the huge power requirement to the development the West Bengal State Electricity Board
would insist the installation of 220 kV or 132 kV / 33 kV or 11 kV substations within the vicinity of the development as power cannot be availed at 33 kV or 11 kV.
7.5.1.1
Sub-station within the development
The development will be provided with sub station stepping down power from 220 kV or 132 kV to 33 kV or 11 kV at 1st stage & further step down from 33kV or 11 kV to 415 V at the 2nd stage.
The final medium voltage (distribution voltage) would be finalized upon detailed study on voltage drop, fault level etc.
7.5.1.2
Corridor for brining in Grid power
Since the grid power from the existing line or from the existing sub station cannot be tapped due to inadequate capacity of the sub-station and line, the power has to be tapped from a different
location as per the feasibility report.
The feasibility of corridor to lay underground cables or overhead lines has to be well assessed.

67
Ring Main Arrangement
Medium voltage power distribution to different zones in the development area is proposed with 11 kV or 33 kV ring main arrangement. The ring mains would be inter connected using 11 kV ATS
/ breakers interlocked to address issues like cable and breaker failures. Each ring can cater power up to 5 to 6 MVA at 11 kV & up to 20 MVA on 33 kV system.
7.5.1.4
Power Transmission
Power transmission within the development area is envisaged using underground cables to cater to the demand of downstream sub-station.
Cable to downstream switchyards shall be underground cables from
220 kV, 132 kV / 33 kV or 11 kV sub-stations.
The cables shall be underground with sand cushioning and brick protection
OR
In RCC Hume pipes of suitable diameter with cable pulling chambers at definite intervals
OR
Laid on cable trays installed built in RCC trenches.
In case of RCC trenches, other services viz., Communication system with optic fiber cables for Data and Voice. Service providers can use these trenches to lay number of cables as per users
requirement.
7.5.1.5
Phase Wise development
The electrical distribution would be designed keeping in mind modular expansion to suit growth in power demand / construction programme.

68
Immediate power requirement
Based on the analysis (to conducted) of power requirement for the phase wise development and availability of power at Medium voltage on 33 kV or 11 kV, substations at 33 or 11 kV shall be
set up at one or two locations which can hooked on to the main system at a later date. This has to be taken up considering the lead time for procurement and installation of power supply to the
proposed facility through high voltage system at 220 kV or 132 kV.
7.5.2 Captive power plant (CPP)
Considering shortfall in grid power and upon getting authenticated information on availability of natural gas in the near future it is advisable to opt for multi fuel engines, to enable shift in use
economical fuel.
Alternatively, Bio-mass power generating plant can be explored. This option need to be determined on the following.
Separate land outside the proposed development for installation of bio-mass plant. Approximately 0.35 to 0.40 acre / MW land would be necessary.
Availability of abundant rise husk, coconut shells and other suitable natural fuels.
In case if the bio-mass power plant solution is feasible part of the power can be generated and wheeled to grid and can be tapped at the development area.
7.5.3
Back up power
Back up power by 11 kV or 415 V Generators to be detailed subsequent understanding the scope.

Considering requirement of uninterrupted power supply to the commercial facility, back up power to the facility is envisaged to be provided by using Diesel generators. It is considered that the
end user / builder / promoter would install 100 % back up. DG sets based on requirement as stand by or prime duty systems depending on the demand & requirements. The back up power
system is totally redundant and usages may be low.
Page 68 of 81
C H A P T E R
7 :
E L E C T R I C A L
S E R V I C E S
69
The options to set up back up power are:
Generating plants by end users to suit their power needs
Centralized power plant by an association or by builder for the complete complex.
Generator installation by end users

Since the main source of power is established by the promoters, the end users can be allowed to put up their own back up power plants. In view of multi tenancy situation and large space
required to put up small capacity plants by all users to suit their requirement, it is advisable to opt for centralized power plant. In addition users would opt for N+ 1 configuration which would
result in number of chimneys rising to terrace level, finally detrimental to aesthetic view of buildings and surroundings.
Centralized Generating plant

Number of generators sets is low in this option. Number of downstream switchboards compared to 1st version is reduced and the distribution can be done using rising mains bus ways at
different locations for office use and with centralized HVAC plants and chilled water supplied to each user with BTU metering arrangement.

Considering the development in phases and in the absence of the end user requirements, it is proposed to only provide infrastructure to service providers to build the telecommunication and
networking system for data, voice and broad band facilities and deliver the same to the various users in the campus.
7.11.2
Infrastructure
It is proposed to provide space to bring in service provider circuits into the SEZ development and to install telecommunication equipments at a central location in the proposed development plan.
This facility shall be the point of entry for multiple service providers to terminate their circuits and re distribute services within the campus.

A dedicated trench is proposed to lay optic fiber and low voltage cables. These cables shall be run in redundant topology in ring architecture within the campus to facilitate tapping off circuits for
the various buildings that come up in the Campus. This architecture provides redundancy in a ring-in and ring-out configuration
These trenches shall also be used to run short run of copper cables to service the last mile applications such as phone systems and DSL circuits.
7.11.4
Feeder Pillars
Feeder pillar at different locations shall be considered to receive optic fiber cables from main communication room and would have distribution arrangements for zones and units. These are
passive nodes and do not require power or equipment to be installed in the same.
