Tractebel welcomes new CEO

Lees verderAn ingenious solution conceived and designed by Tractebel engineers has brought a sacred river to the surface in Bihar state, India.
For followers of the Hindu faith, the city of Gaya in the eastern Indian state of Bihar is an important pilgrimage site. A focal point is the Vishnupad temple on the bank of the Falgu River, where people come to pay homage to their ancestors. The problem was that the river flowed mostly underground. For many years, pilgrims had to dig deep into the sand to draw the water needed for religious rituals.
The Government of Bihar called upon Tractebel to find an engineering solution. The goal was to ensure a year-round “waterfront” next to the Vishnupad temple. Tractebel carried out comprehensive integrated surface-ground water modelling and water balance studies, and proposed a rubber dam across the Falgu River. It would be the first of its kind in the region, and the largest rubber dam in India.
A detailed project report of the concept and design was submitted, approved, and construction undertaken. Now, the completed project is a reality and was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Bihar on September 8, 2022.
