Project: Geotechnical Investigation and Soil Analysis for Irrigation Canal and infrastructure Design for Patharaiya-Kandra Area Irrigation Development and Modernization (Pathraiya Extension Canal) Under Rani Jamara Kulariya Irrigation Project Phase 3.

Client: Department of Water Resource and Irrigation

Year: 2025

Status: Completed

GEOINFRA conducted a comprehensive geotechnical investigation to support the design of irrigation canal and infrastructure systems. The major tasks included:

• Review of geological maps, previous feasibility studies, and available geotechnical data.
• Site reconnaissance to identify critical sections along the 12.95 km PEC1 alignment.
• Planning and execution of 15 boreholes (11 along the canal and 4 at intake and aqueduct sites) up to 5–10 m depth.
• In-situ permeability testing at each borehole location.
• Collection of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples for lab testing.
• Laboratory testing including grain size analysis, Atterberg limits, specific gravity, moisture content, dispersion, and direct shear tests.
• Compilation and interpretation of field and lab data to evaluate soil strength, stability, and permeability.
• Development of geotechnical design recommendations for canal, intake, and aqueduct structures.
• Preparation and submission of a detailed geotechnical report with findings and recommendations.
