Environmental measures in the Gangavaram Port

The GPLis all weather deep water port. The port is most environmental friendly port with state of the art cargo handling equipment with 5 berths out of two berths are completely mechanized and our principle cargos (Coal & Iron Ore) is being handling up to 70% through mechanized handling system and the state of our mechanical dust suppression system is provided at various critical points such as equipment (Hopper & Declaimer), hooded conveyor belts and the storage yards have been functioning well throughout the system. Due to this we are able to mitigate all the dust that generated during the operations. The other berths are being used for the other cargos such as Project cargo, fertilizer (Urea), Sugaretc.

To control the dust pollution, as a part of project, State of Art water sprinkling system with a cost of more than Rs 20 crs is established at various places. GPL is spending around Rs 20 lakhs per month towards water, power charges and maintenance for DSS.Around 15 people are working daily for operating the DSS.

GPL has established state of art model modern mechanical conveyor system for handling coal & Iron ore. GPLhas provided closed enclosures for the entire conveyor system to curb dust of coal/iron ore particles in to the air.

The dust suppression system comprises of water pumps driven by electrical motors for pumping water all over the place. This water will be sprayed by water cannons at pressure of about 6-10kg/cm2 from various points to suppress the dust formed. GPLis having total 80 cannons.

As per the functional description of the proposed dust suppression system, the water will be maintained under pressure of 6 to 10 Kg/cm2 in the pipelines by Group-l Main Water Suppression Pumps. For sprinkling water through the sprinklers, individual Pumps at the Transfer towers are used to pump water through sprinklers from Water Tanks at Transfer towers.

Water sprinkling is being carried out on the general cargo berth and in other areas viz. Roadsand yards through water tankers to arrest the dust and control the dust pollution due to the vehicular movement in the port. GPLis spending around RS15 lakhs per month towards water charges and maintenance. Around 10 persons are working for this activity. GPLcreated a wind breaking wall with a cost of Rs30 lakhs near boundary of Gangavaram village and Wind screen created with cost of 6.5 Lakhs at Truck parking location towards HB colony to arrest any dust trickling in to the village as recommended by the pollution control board.

Two dedicated sweeping machines are using for the cleaning of berths, back up areas and roads. ·.
