PREFACE
This Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual for Karanja Project is a detailed set
of written descriptions of step-by-step procedures for ensuring that the dam is safely
operated and properly maintained. Timely inspection and maintenance are necessary for
the safe functioning of the dam and continued productive use of the dam and reservoir. The
term “O&M” as employed in this manual includes operation, inspection, maintenance and
repair of dam components, replacement of equipment and appurtenant structures, as
required.
This manual is provided to assist the dam owner in management of their project in a
safe and efficient manner. The Dam Safety Bill, 2010, introduced in the Lok Sabha on
August 30, 2010, and subsequently referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on
Water Resources for examination, prompted the need for updated procedures for dam
owners to follow during day-to-day, 24/7 operation of their respective dams. The draft
Dam Safety Bill requires State Dam Safety Organizations (SDSO) to keep perpetual
vigilance, carry out inspections regularly, and monitor the operation and maintenance of
all dams in order to ensure their safe functioning. Where a SDSO does not exist, the
National Committee on Dam Safety acting through the Central Dam Safety Organisation
is required to carry out these activities.
This manual was prepared following the Guidelines for preparing O&M Manuals for dams
(Doc. No. CDSO_GUD_DS_O3_v1.0) published by CWC in the year 2018 under DRIP.

its origin near Kohir village in Andhra Pradesh (Now Telangana), the Manjra river join at Narda Sangam
village in Bhalki Taluka.Dist Bidar.
Rain Fall:
The average annual weighted rainfall in Karanja basin is of the order of 1042 mm and is not well
distributed.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:
The scope of the project as cleared by the Central Water Commission is to provide irrigation facility
to 38614 Ha of land by utilizing 9.27 TMC of water. However, due to change in topography and
urbanization in last 30 years, the targeted irrigation potential could not be achieved. As such in achieving
the ultimate potential out of the project, tail end distributary in RBC, Distributary-1(A) under Karanja Lift
Irrigation Scheme and Atiwal Lift Irrigation Scheme is proposed to be implemented to utilize the allocated
water without altering the approved scope of the project.
Now, the project estimate is revised based on the schedule of rates of 2008-09 as per the
instructions of Monitoring (South) Directorate, CWC, New Delhi for Rs.832.00 crores.Again the project
estimate is revised based on the schedule of rate of 2012-13 to the Rs 638.18 Crores and is under
submission.

Fore Shore Lift Irrigation Components:

KARANJA LIFT IRRIGATION SCHEME:


Karanja Fore shore Lift Irrigation is contemplated in the approved scope of the project from the
Planning Commission, to irrigate an area of 4047 Ha. (10,000 Acres) on the Right Bank of Karanja reservoir.
The scheme envisages construction of Jack well, Intake Channel, Rising Main, Cistern and Canal System.
The head works and main canal up to 24 Kms along with distributaries and DPO’s are completed including
FIC’s and the last distributary No23 is in progress. Now, the feasibility of extending one more distributary
(viz., Distributary-1(A) from the 1st km downstream of cistern (bifurcating chamber) is being explored with
an additional potential of 1893 Hectors is in progress.

ATIWAL LIFT IRRIGATION SCHEME:


Atiwal Lift Irrigation Scheme is proposed to be implemented on the foreshore of Karanja reservoir
on the left bank vowing to the persistent demands of the PDFs of the submerged villages viz., Atiwal,
Dakulgi, Hilalpur, Ameerabad Wadi, Sakkarganj Wadi, Hallikhed(B) Mashimad and Chalkapur,wadi who
have lost more than 200 Ha of agriculture lands and 300 houses. This project displaces families mainly
depend on agriculture and their remaining small land holdings are with poor irrigation. In order to mitigate
the agriculture needs of these project displaced families, Atiwal LIS is proposed to be implemented to irrigate
an area of 3616 Ha of lands of PDFs through North and South canals. The scheme envisages construction of
intake channel, jackwell with pump house, pumps, delivery chamber, combined North and South canals. This
scheme was cleared by the Technical Advisory Committee, Major and Medium Irrigation Projects, of the
State of Karnataka in its 81st meeting held on 18-09-2008. The head works is completed and North canal
work is in progress. The south canal work is not started due to land owners objecting for excavation of canal.

2.1.2 Design Flood and Features Related to Safety


The maximum flood design at Karanja Dam site was earlier fixed at 4.69 lakhs cusecs. This was based on
the frequency studies for a return period of 100 years with 95% upper continent limit recommended by the
Panel of Experts appointed for this purpose
The spillway is designed for this design flood with 10-percent of the gates non-operative. The design flood
has been reviewed under DRIP. The surplusing capacity of the spillway was checked for the revised
designed flood (PMF) of 18827.86 or 6.65 cusecs with all the gates operative and is considered to be safe.

2.2 Flood Management at Karanja Reservoir

2.2.1 Gate Operations:


The Govt of Karnataka have issued a circular for the gate operation of Karanja reservoir which is as
below
DISCHARGE CHARACTERSTICS OF GATE
.
The discharging capacity of spillway gates/river sluice gates at different reservoir levels for each gate
and for all gates for different gate opening have been computed and displayed in the gate operation room.
The Karnataka Engineering Research Station (KERS) has carried out model studies of Karanja reservoir
spillway and generated a table indicating the discharge with reference to gate opening versus reservoir level
and also for free-flowing condition which is being used for measurement of discharge through spillway
crest gates.
The discharges through river sluices and irrigation sluices are being determined by the formula Q=
0.85*sqrt(2gH) *A.
Where:
A = Area of sluice gate opening.
G = Acceleration due to gravity.
H = Height measured from water level in the reservoir to the center of the opening.

It is as curtained that the time required for the water to flow into the Karanja Reservoir from the
catchment during rainy season is six hours. The safe discharge from Karanja reservoir into the river is
30,000 cusecs. The Karanja reservoir has no flood absorption storage capacity above F.R.L. Hence it is
indicated to have the flood absorption capacity in the reservoir to the extent of 1 to 2 T.M.C during
monsoon period.
RESERVOIR OPERATION SCHEDULE:
It is proposed to have 2 T.M.C ft. storage capacity as flood absorption below F.R.L during active
monsoon so as to have safe and effective reservoir operation schedule.

The Gross storage capacity and reservoir level with 2 T.M.C ft., flood absorption capacity below
F.R.L is as shown below:-

The rainfall in the catchment area generally starts from 1st week of June and it is very heavy generally
during July, August and September Months.The recorded inflow in to the reservoir from 1990-2019 is as
given below:-

If the flood absorption capacity of 1.00 TMC maintained the reservoir level has to be kept at 583.15
mtr(1913.22ft). i.e., 1.00 mtr(3.281ft). below F.R.L. As the maximum inflow into the reservoir during the
month of July and August is of the order of 7.6910 TMC .as against the gross storage capacity of 6.00
TMC.It is better to start the reservoir operation schedule duly predicting the inflow into the reservoir
based on gauged discharge at karanja dam gauge sites and also from the daily rainfall records of upstream
rain gauge station in the catchment from 1st week of June itself. However the reservoir level of R.L. with
a cushion of 3.281 ft. should be maintained till the end of August by suitably matching the inflow and
outflow discharges. During the month of September depending upon the inflow pattern, the reservoir
water level may be raised to safer level (i.e, 3.281 ft. below F.R.L).From October and onwards the
reservoir water level may be brought to the F.R.L level, depending upon the inflow pattern and forecast
of floods/monsoon. If any flash floods or cyclonic floods are expected during October/November, careful
prediction of inflows from the upper gauge stations from the rain gauge stations and from weather forecast
should be done and the reservoir operation in advance to keep cushion for the inflow has to be carefully
done. Advance warning with quantity of water to be released into the river should be intimated to the
concerned Deputy Commissioners of Bidar, Bidar superintendent of Police, Irrigation Superintending
Engineer IPCC Kalburgi, and concerned Tahasildars through mobile phone. A wide publicity through
Radio, T.V. and Daily News papers to this effect should be issued.
These instructions should be followed scrupulously and action taken to be reported immediately.

He should bring it to the notice of Chief Engineer day to day flood discharge and when the inflow/outflow
increases more than 20,000 cusecs, hourly inflow and outflow should be intimated. The other two
Officers should as is the Superintending Engineer in carrying out his duties.

2.2.3 Flood Peaks of Different Return Periods


The flood peaks for different return periods shown in the table and figure below are as follows:
Table 14 – Return Flow Peak Flows vs. Return Period Data
year
Peak Flow
Design flood
Cumecs. Cusecs.
1989 Previous design flood 13578.60 46900
2015 Revised design flood 18827.86 665000

Based on this, applying the Gumbel method for flood frequencies, the 3- year flood -works out
to 3.3 lakh cusecs. Hence, inflows less than 3 lakh cusecs are considered as normal, and the gates are
operated as recommended in earlier and subsequent paragraphs. For inflows exceeding 3 lakh cusecs,
it is recommended that the flood regulator procedure described in subsequent paragraphs be followed.
After the flood subsides, normaloperation isresumed.

2.2.4 Gate Operation Procedures for Normal Flow conditions


During normal flow condition, the spillway radial crest gates will not be operated or are kept in closed
condition unless and otherwise there is a flash flood. The river sluice gates will be operated only during
the service & the discharge required for irrigating the command area coming under the century old anicut
canals in the river and also for the drinking water purpose for the villages coming all along the river will
be fulfilled by the hydro-power plant. Regarding the irrigation sluice gates is concerned, the gates will be
operated to allow the required discharge through the irrigation canals

2.2.5 Inflow Forecasting


The gross storage of Karanja Dam at FRL 584.15 m is 7.691 TMC and Gross storage The Karanja
a Dams have been designed for a probable maximum flood (PMF) of 4.691 Lakhs cumecs respectively.
The storage in Karanja Dam has commenced during year 1989.

O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

During monsoon, incident rains in the catchment area cause the flash floods in Krishna river. These
floods may lead to problems like people getting displaced from their homes, huge damage to crops and
other assets. The floods can have disastrous impact on the environment also. Adequate measures are
required to be taken up in advance to control and regulate the flow water in the river.
The regulation of flood water released from the Dams in Maharashtra is very important and has a most
impact in Karnataka.
The following measures are essential for effective management of floods in Krishna River during the
monsoons.
1) Nomination of liaising officers for respective reservoirs.
2) Sharing of Sub-basin wise directory of concerned officers responsible for flood management.
3) Exchange of data regarding rainfall, releases from dams, reservoir water levels.
4) Reservoir operation schedules.
Exchange of data regarding rainfall, releases from dams, reservoir water levels.
The Central water Commission has established office at Karanja during 1989 for assisting in flood
warning in the Godavari River Basin. Based on the rainfall in the catchment and flow in the river and
tributaries, CWC office will furnish flood forecasting reports to office of Karnataka, whenever probable
flow at Karanja is more than 50000 cusecs. It also informs the trend of flow (Raising, steady or Falling)
The list of rain gauges in the catchment of Krishna basin and daily rainfall is to be collected by
concerned offices. It will helpful for prediction of probable floods in the river.
During monsoon daily water releases from the Dams/Barrages at 8 hrs.& 16 hrs. in normal situation
and hourly data exchange during heavy floods is necessary. In this regard, the data is required to be
established. The data regarding exchange floods is made available to the Revenue authorities and public
by broadcasting in AIR,TV and publication in new papers.
Flood warning system in catchment area:
The regulation of flood from the dams on upstream of Karanja reservoir is very crucial to quantify
the inflow of floods into Karanja dam. The agencies of Central water Commission will be coordinated to
assist in the flood forecasting Accordingly, sequence of opening or closing of gates will be taken up in
accordance with the approved gate operation schedule.
Flood communication system:
The widely time tested Communication to reach every corner of the flood affected zones have been
radio and television and private media for the people to move to safer places by themselves in an

2.2.6:- Methodology of Flood Regulation at Karanja


The methodology is explained inspection 2.2 above
2.2.6.1:- Inflow Computation
Inflow into reservoirs is normally estimated by the reservoir gauging method (also called the rise and fall
method or inflow-outflow method). All the outflows are added together and to it the rate of rise in storage
(Positive if the level rises, and negative if it falls) is added. Expressed as an equation, this will be.
Inflow (cusecs) = Total outflow (cusecs) + Rate of increase in storage(cusecs)
The rate of increase (or decrease) in storage can be determined from the observed rate of increase (or
decrease) in reservoir level and the elevation capacity tables. For easy computation. Table 11 has been
developed showing the rate of change of storage in the Karanja reservoir for a rate of rise in reservoir level
of 1-cm/hour. The same information is shown graphically in Figure 6 which can be used for interpolation.
2.2.6.2:- Examples of Inflow Computation
Example1.
Let the reservoir level be at 581.80-m· at 1:00PM and 581.85-m at 3.00 PM
Inflow Level @3.00 PM 581.85-M and its Gross storage is =4.302 TMc
. Initial Level @1.00 PM 581.80-M and its Gross storage is =4.245 TMc
. Total inflow water Qty= 0.052 TMC for two hours
For 0.052 = 0.0212 TMC/hour
2
Gate operation to maintain water level in the Dam
Inflow= Out flow

According Discharge
APPENDIX- II
Discharge table corresponding maximum water level @ 3.00 PM 581.85 mtr
Lifting gate and Hight of 0.50 Mter its discharge is 468.76 Cum for 6 gate operation
Now 468.76 = 78.126 Cum X35.315=2759.04 Cusecs for each gate discharge
2
An open 2 gate at a time=2x2759.04=5518.08 cusecs

.’. 5518.08x60x60x1 =0.01988 TMC 0.0200 TMC


100,000,0000,
Hence Inflow = out flow
0.0212=0.0200
2.2.6.2 Example of Computation for Required Gate Opening
Let FRL be 584.15m, the reservoir level be at 581.10m at 10· A.M., 516.18m at 11.50
A.M. and total outflow at 11:50 AM be 5518.08. cusecs.Then, from Example 1 above, the
inflow is 5518.08 cusecs.

O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

2.2.8 Summary of Flood Regulation Procedure.

The flood regulation procedures at Karanja Dam can be summarized in the following
5 steps: ·
1 Observe the reservoir level at 1-hour intervals.
2 Determine the total outflow occurring at all outlets (including river sluices,
canals & spillway)
3 Estimate the inflow by the method given in Para 2.2.6.2
4 Determine the radial crest gate opening from the Para 2.2.6.3
5 Open all6 radial crest gates to the extent required to dispose off the surplus
flood as per the procedure described in para 2.2.6.3
6 The procedure being followed in gate operation is as below.
a. The end gates should normally be opened first to prevent cross flow striking against the
guide walls and junctions.
b. At any time during the operation of different gates, the difference in gate opening of
any two consecutive gates should not exceed 50 cm.
c. After opening the end gates, the gates at the center should be opened and other gates
should be opened in symmetrical manner starting from the center towards the end
through gradual increase in the openings.
d. While closing the gates, the gate that was opened last should be closed first. The
procedure to be followed for closing the gates would generally be the reverse of the
procedure followed for opening the gates. Complete closure of the gates should be
accomplished by gradual lowering of the gates by 20 cm to 30 cm in the proper
sequence.

2.3 Operation of Radial Crest Gates of Karanja Dam

2.3.1 Brief Description.


Crest Gates· of Karanja Dam have been designed and erected by Tungabhadra steel
products private Ltd., Karnataka with spillway crest level of 574.15 m and FRL of 584.15
m. The basic principal of the design is that the water pressure is transferred topier sand
abutments through skin plates, stiffeners horizontal girders, arms, trunion, tie flats and
anchor girders. The skin plates between bottom and top horizontal girders is designed as
supported on the girders. The portion below the bottom horizontal girder up to sill beam
and above top horizontal girder and up to FRL is designed as cantilever.

O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

. 2.3.2 Radial Crest Gates – Technical Data

1. The spillway Radial Gate consist of an upstream curved skin plate of varying thickness from 14
mm to 10 mm, stiffened by suitably spaced vertical 500 ISMB (1/2 cut) stiffeners.
2. The sill beam, wall plates are provided with suitable anchorage for a rigid connection to the
spillway crest and the piers Suitable stainless steel plates are welded on the wall plate to match
with the rubber seals. The sill beam embedded in the spillway crest are provided sealing surfaces
of stainless steel to match with the rubber seal on the bottom of the gates
3. The gate consists of structural steel frame formed by three (3) main horizontal girders supported
by radial arms a teach end. These inclined radial arms in turn transmit the load to trunnion brackets
installed on trunnion girder spanning between the piers. The water load is transferred through
girders to end arms, trunnion brackets to concrete beam and is finally transferred to pier concrete.
4. Gate Assembly
The skinplateofthegateconsistsofa10 to 14-mm-thickstainless steel on the u/s side. The skin plate
is stiffened by radial shaped vertical stiffeners. which rests on horizontal girders. The vertical
stiffeners rest on horizontal girders . which are mounted on suitably braced inclined arms fixed
to the trunnion assembly. The skin plate is supported on 3 main horizontal girders which are in
turn, supported on a frame of inclined arms. The end arms pivot on trunnion pins mounted on
trunnion brackets fixed to the Yoke girder and resting on rest beam (chair) plate. The water load
is transferred to pier concrete through Anchor bars welded to anchor girder embedded in pier
concrete. The horizontal force due to arm inclination is taken by stiffened D/s flange of horizontal
girder at the junction level. This force is taken by the trunnion tie connecting the two trunnion hub
limbs.
5. Guide Roller Assembly
Each gate has been provided with 3 guide rollers of size dia 130-mm O.D. x 76 mm I.D. x 90 mm
width on each side, to check side sway. In fully open position of the gate, two no. guide rollers on
each side rests on the wall plate. The rollers are provided with plain bronze bushings turning on
fixed pins. The roller pin is 60-mm-dia and is hard chromium- plated with
thicknessof40microns The rollers are adjustable and removable type.
6. Trunnion Assembly
The trunnion assembly consists of a single piece cast steel trunn1o:hub having 10 680 mm and
00 I 030 mm, to which the arms of the gates are rigidly connected to ensure full transfer of
load. 580-dia. sta1nlesssteel trunnion pins with bush bearings of size 580 I.D. x 680 O.D. are
used. The trunnion pins are hard chromium plated to 40 microns The trunnion pins connect
trunnion hub to radial arms.
7. Seal Arrangement
The radial gate is seated at the bottom by contact of bottom edge of skin plate and wedge
type bottom seal of 16-mm-thickness and side seals of thickness 16 mm (Z- Type).

Chapter 3 -Project Inspections

The current practice of Inspection at Karanja dam envisages the Subdivision Officers to carryout pre-
monsoon and post-monsoon inspections. The checklist proforma included in this chapter is currently in
use at Karanja dam.
Detailed description on project inspections is available in the Guideline for Safety Inspection of dams
(Doc No. CDSO_GUD_DS_07_ v1.0), CWC 2018 (https:// damsafety.in/ecm includes
/PDFs/Guidelines_for_Safety_Inspection_of_Dams.pdf). However, an overview of the various types of
inspections to be carried out at Karanja dam is given below. Note that for uploading Inspection Data into
DHARMA, the Inspection Instructions & Forms given in the aforementioned Guideline for Safety
Inspection of Dams must be used (see Appendix 5)).An effective inspection program is essential
toidentify problems and to keep Karanja Dam in a good and healthy condition This Chapter provides
guidance on carrying out other inspections.
3.1 Types of Inspections
Four different types of dam safety inspections are available for being carried out at Karanja Dam. These
include, but not limited, to the following:
1. Comprehensive evaluation inspections
2. Scheduled inspections (Pre & Post monsoon inspections & other scheduled inspections)
3. Special (unscheduled) inspections
4. Informal inspections
The frequency of each type of inspection depends on the condition of the dam and State DSO
regulations, etc.
Typical inspection elements and the detail of the safety inspections are provided below. More detailed
descriptions are given in the ‘Guideline for Safety Inspection of Dams’ (CWC 2018). A checklist has been
modified from the guideline to fit Karanja requirements and is found in Appendix 5. This comphrehensive
checklist allows for recording the status of each item being inspected and the overall condition of the
equipment along with any consequential risks the condition may have on the health of the dam.
3.1.1 Comprehensive Evaluation Inspections

For comprehensive dam safety evaluation for each dam an independent panel of experts known as Dam
Safety Review Panel (DSRP) needs to be constituted for determining the condition of the dam and
appurtenant works. The panel will undertake evaluation of the dam once in 10 years or on occurrence of
any extreme hydrological or seismic event or any unusual condition of the dam or in the reservoir rim.
The terms of reference of the comprehensive dam safety evaluation shall include but not be limited to;

1. General assessment of hydrologic and hydraulic conditions, review of design flood, flood routing for
revised design flood and mitigation measures.
 Review and analysis of available data of dam design including seismic safety, construction,
operation maintenance and performance of dam structure and appurtenant works.
 Evaluation of procedures for operation, maintenance and inspection of dam and to suggest
improvements / modifications.
114
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

 Evaluation of any possible hazardous threat to the dam structure such as dam abutment
slope stability failure or slope failures along the reservoir periphery.
A comprehensive evaluation inspection of Karanja consists of five major parts:
1. Review of project records (i.e. study of all design / construction records/drawings, history of the dam’s
performance, past inspection notes/reports, notes on distress observed/ any rehabilitation measures
undertaken earlier, instrumentation data and its interpretation including.
2. Inspection of the dam and its appurtenant works.
3. To review the results and reports of additional field investigations & laboratory testing as required.
4. Review of design studies e.g. review of design flood, checking of the adequacy of spillway capacity,
freeboard requirements, dam stability, any special study as required.
5. Preparation of a detailed report of the inspection.
3.1.2 Scheduled Inspections
Scheduled inspections shall consist of Pre-monsoon & Post-monsoon inspection and any other
inspections carried out by the State Dam Safety Organisation / any Expert panels constituted by the dam
owner.
These inspections are performed to gather information on the current condition of the dam and its
appurtenant works. This information is then used to establish needed repairs and repair schedules, and to
assess the safety and operational adequacy of the dam. Scheduled inspections are also performed to
evaluate previous repairs.
The purpose of scheduled inspections is to keep the dam and its appurtenant structures in good operating
condition and to maintain a safe structure. As such, these inspections and timely maintenance will
minimize long-term costs and will extend the life of the dam. Scheduled inspections are performed more
frequently than comprehensive evaluation inspections to detect at an early stage any developments that
may be detrimental to the dam. These inspections involve assessing operational capability as well as
structural stability and detection of any problems and to correct them before the conditions worsen. The
field examinations should be made by the personnel assigned responsibility for monitoring the safety of
the dam. If the dam or appurtenant works have instrumentation, the individual responsible for monitoring
should analyze measurements as they are received and include an evaluation of that data. Dam Inspection
Report or an inspection brief should be prepared following the field visit (Dam Inspection Report is
recommended).
Scheduled inspections include the following four components as a minimum:
 File review of past inspection reports, monitoring data, photographs, maintenance
records, or other pertinent data as may be required;
 Visual inspection of the dam and its appurtenant works;
 Preparation of a report or inspection brief, with relevant documentation and
photographs. The report should be filed in the dam owner’s project files.
3.1.3 Special (Unscheduled) Inspections
Special inspections may need to be performed to resolve specific concerns or conditions at the site on
an unscheduled basis. Special inspections are not regularly scheduled activities, but are usually made
before or immediately after the dam or appurtenant works have been subjected to unusual events or
conditions, such as an unusually high flood or a significant earthquake. These inspections are to be carried
out after an initial assessment based on informal inspection carried out by project personnel reveal dam
safety related concerns like cracking in the dam, damages, erosion/ scour, undermining/ piping/ sink holes/
liquefaction or any such undesirable feature. A special inspection may also be performed during an
115
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

emergency, such as an impending dam breach, to evaluate specific areas or concerns. They are also made
when the ongoing surveillance program identifies a condition or a trend that appears to warrant a special
evaluation. Special inspections should focus on those dam components that are affected by the unusual
event and should include at least three elements: 1) review of relevant files or data, 2) visual inspection,
and 3) report preparation.
More detailed site investigations / studies may be required (such as drilling, surveys, or seepage flow
estimates) if the special inspection reveals the need for the same. Photographic documentation is to be
included as part of the inspection.
3.1.4 Informal Inspections
The last type of inspection, an informal inspection, is a continuing effort by on-site personnel (dam
owners/operators and maintenance personnel) performed during their routine duties. Informal inspections
are critical to the proper operation and maintenance of the dam. They consist of frequent observations of
the general appearance and functioning of the dam and appurtenant structures.
Operators, maintenance crews, or other staff who are posted at Karanja dam site conduct informal
inspections. These people are the “first-line of defense” in assuring safe dam conditions, and it is their
responsibility to be familiar with all aspects of the dam. Their vigilance in walking the dam, checking the
operating equipment, and noting changes in conditions may prevent serious mishaps or even dam failures.
Informal inspections are important and are performed at every available opportunity. These inspections
may only cover one or two dam components as the occasion presents itself, or they may cover the entire
dam and its appurtenant structures. The informal inspections are not as detailed as comprehensive
evaluation, scheduled, and special inspections and will only require that a formal report is submitted to
the dam owner’s project files if a condition is detected that might endanger the dam. Report is to be
submitted detailing the condition discovered along with photographs, time, reswervoir water level (RWL),
etc.
3.2 Pre- and Post-Monsoon Check list and Example of Report Proformas
Detailed checklists are required to ensure the health of the dam continues to operates in satisfactory and
safe condition. Details of the inspection must be in alignment with the DHARMA approved checklist
attached to this document (see Appendix 5).

Chapter 4 - Project Maintenance


A good maintenance program protectsKaranjaDam against accelerating deterioration, prolongs its life,
and greatly reduce the chance of failure. Nearly all the components of KaranjaDam and its materials are
susceptible to damage and deterioration if not well maintained. Moreover, the cost of a proper maintenance
program is small compared to the costs of major repairs, loss of life and property and litigation.
Preventative maintenance not only protects the dam and its owner but the public as well. If maintenance
of a dam is neglected the consequences and costs will multiply.
Preventive maintenance assures that a dam and reservoir are in good working condition and prevents more
harmful conditions from developing. Individual maintenance tasks are noted, with a description of the
area where the maintenance is to be performed, the schedule for performing the tasks, and reporting
procedures. Typical routine maintenance tasks performed includes mowing grass, removing vegetation,
bushes and trees, removing litter and other debris, re-grading the crest and/or access roads, repairing
fencing to keep livestock off the dam, etc. Other maintenance works that need to be performed on the
embankment includes restoration of embankment to its design section, seepage problems, erosion,
displaced riprap, cracking in embankment etc. In concrete / masonry dams there may be issues like
cracking and disintegration in concrete, choking of drainage holes in dam body/ foundation, damages to
spillway glacis/piers/energy dissipaters due to abrasion/ cavitation/unsymmetrical flows, damages to
pointing on upstream & downstream faces of masonry dams, heavy seepages through some drains in
foundation/inspection galleries etc.
A basic maintenance program has been developed primarily based on systematic and frequent inspections.

4.1 Maintenance Priorities


For Karanja Dam, maintenance activities require to be prioriitized as immediate maintenance
or preventative maintenance.
4.1.1 Immediate Maintenance
The following conditions are critical and call for immediate attention & reservoir lowering, if warranted.
These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
The dam is about to be overtopped or being overtopped during high flood.
The dam is about to be breached by erosion, slope failure etc.
The dam showing signs of piping or internal erosion indicated by increasingly cloudy seepage or other
symptoms.
The spillway being blocked or with some inoperable gates.
Evidence of excessive seepage appearing anywhere on the dam site,e.g.,the Embankment becomes
saturated, defective water stops, etc., and seepage exiting on the downstream face is increasing in volume.
Although the remedy for some critical problems may be obvious (such as clearing a blocked spillway or
repairing the spillway gates so that they are in working condition), the problems listed above generally
demand the services of experienced engineers/expert panels familiar with the design, construction and
maintenance of dams. The emergency action plan (EAP) should be activated when any of the above
conditions are noted.

125
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

4.1.2 Preventive Maintenance


This can be further classified as Condition based Maintenance and Routine Maintenance.
4.1.2.1 Condition Based Maintenance
The following maintenance should be completed as soon as possible after the defective condition is noted.
These includes but are not limited to:
 Remove all vegetation and bushes from the dam and restoring any eroded areas and to establish a
good grass cover.
 Fill animal burrows.
 Restore and reseed eroded areas and gullies on embankment.
 Repair of defective gates, valves, and other hydro-mechanical equipment.
 Repair any concrete or metal components that have deteriorated.
 Cleaning of the choked drainage holes in the dam body/ foundations in concrete / masonry dams.
 Repair any damages on spillway glacis, piers, energy dissipaters, training/divide walls,
downstream areas etc.
 Repairs on the upstream face of masonry dams, in case the pointing is damaged, due to which there
is increased seepage.
 Controlling any heavy seepage in the foundation/ inspection galleries in Concrete/Masonry dams
from drainage holes.
 Repairs of any cracks/cavities/joints in concrete/masonry dams/structures.
However, many of these works will require the services of experienced engineers/expert panels.
4.1.2.2 Routine Maintenance
Several tasks should be performed on a continuous basis. These include but are not limited to the
following:
 Routine mowing, restore and reseed eroded areas and gullies on downstream face of the left flank
embankment and general maintenance including repairs/cleaning of surface drains on downstream
face and in the downstream area.
 Maintenance and treatment of any cracks/joints/ cavities in Concrete/Masonry dams and spillways
based on the recommendations of experienced engineers / expert panels.
 Observation of any springs or seepage areas, comparing quantity and quality (clarity) with prior
observations in the embankment.
 Monitoring of downstream development which could have an impact on the dam and its hazard
category.
 Maintenance of Electrical & Hydro-Mechanical equipment and systems e. g. Servicing of
spillway gates & stop logs, hoisting arrangements, gantry crane, gates/hoist of outlet works/sluices
& stand by generator.
 Maintaining proper lighting at dam top, galleries, etc.
 Monitoring of seepage in galleries.
 Monitoring/ cleaning & removal of leached deposits in porous concrete / formed drains in dam
body and foundation drainage holes.
 Maintenance of all dam roads & access roads.
 Operation of electrical and mechanical equipment and systems including exercising gates &
valves.
 To keep the gate slots, clear of silt/debris.
 Maintenance/testing of monitoring equipment (instruments) and safety alarms.
 Testing of security equipment.
 Testing of communication equipment.

126
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

 Any other maintenance considered necessary.


4.2 Procedures for Routine Maintenance
The O&M Manual includes detailed instructions and schedules for performing periodic maintenance
works at the site. This include maintenance of the dam, the appurtenant works, and the reservoir areas.
Methodology / Specifications for carrying out maintenance works of general & recurring nature should
be included in the Manual.
Dam repairs are scheduled based on severity of the problem, available resources, and weather conditions.
For example, if a severe settlement problem (more than envisaged in designs) or cracking is detected on
the crest of the dam, it should have a high priority since further degradation could lead to dam breaching.
The causes of all major issues / problems should be identified and evaluated by experienced engineers/
Expert Panels so that appropriate remedial measures can be finalized. Correcting minor rill erosion on the
downstream slope could be assigned a low priority since it is not a dam safety concern. This type of repair
will also be weather dependent, since grass can only be planted during specific times of the year, and the
embankment should be dry so that more damage is not inflicted to the embankment slopes.
4.2.1 Earthwork
The surfaces of an earthen dam may deteriorate due to several reasons. For example, wave action may cut
into the upstream slope, vehicles may cause ruts in the crest or slopes, trails left by livestock can result in
erosion, or runoff waters may leave erosion gullies on the downstream slope. Other special problems, such
as shrinkage cracks or rodent damage, may also occur. Damage of this nature must be repaired constantly.
The maintenance procedures described here are effective in repairing minor earthwork problems.
However, this section is not intended to be a technical guide, and the methods discussed should not be
used to solve serious problems. Conditions such as embankment slides, structural cracking, and sinkholes
threaten the immediate safety of a dam and require immediate repair under the directions of experienced
engineers/Expert panels.
The material selected for repairing embankments should be free from vegetation, organic materials, trash,
and large rocks.
If flow-resistant portions such as the core of an embankment dam are being repaired, materials that are
high in clay or silt content should be used. If the area is to be free draining or highly permeable (such as
pervious shell of an embankment dam) the material should have a higher percentage of sand and gravel.
It is usually satisfactory to replace or repair damaged areas with soils like those originally in place.
An important soil property affecting compaction is moisture content. Soils that are too dry or too wet do
not compact well. One may test repair material by squeezing it into a tight ball. If the sample keeps its
shape without cracking and falling apart (which means it is too dry), and without depositing excess water
onto the hand (which means it is too wet), the moisture content is near the proper level.
Before placement of earth, the repair area needs to be prepared by removing all inappropriate material.
All vegetation, such as bushes, roots, and tree stumps, along with any large rocks or trash need to be
removed. Also, unsuitable earth, such as organic or loose soils, should be removed, so that the work
surface consists of exposed, firm, clean embankment material.
Following cleanup, shape and dress the affected area so that the new fill can be placed and compacted in
horizontal lifts to the level specified in the technical specifications. Also it must be properly keyed
(benched) with the existing material for which proper construction practices ae carried out to “knit” the
new fill in to the existing soils to ensure proper bonding. This can be accomplished by using the following
simple procedures
1. Scarify the existing soil layer
127
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

2. Place new moisturized soils in loose layers up to 20 centimeters thick


3. Compact to required density at optimum moisture content (OMC)
4. Scarify compacted layer 10 centimeters
5. Moisturize the layer before placement of soils
6. Compact
7. Continue process until lines and grades are accomplished. Overbuild can be trimmed back to
design lines and grades
8. Seed of turf the fill to minimize erosion processes
9. Water routinely to ensure turf root system is fully developed.
Erosion is one of the most common maintenance problems at embankment structures. Erosion is a natural
process and its continuous forces will eventually wear down almost any surface or structure. Periodic and
prompt maintenance is essential to prevent continuous deterioration and possible failure. Turfing, free
from weeds and deleterious materials, is an effective means of preventing erosion. Rills and gullies should
be filled with suitable soil, compacted, and then seeded or turfed as necessary. Large eroded gullies can
be slowed by stacking bales of hay or straw across the gully until permanent repairs can be made.
Erosion is also common at the point where an embankment and the concrete walls of a spillway or other
structure meet. Poor compaction adjacent to such walls during construction and later settlement can result
in an area along the wall that is lower than the grade of the embankment. People often walk along these
walls, wearing down the vegetative cover. Workable solutions include re-grading the area so that it slopes
away from the wall, adding more resistant surface protection, or constructing steps. Steps can be provided
/ constructed at regular intervals along the length of the dam for going from downstream toe to the dam
top. All vehicular traffic, except for maintenance, should be restricted from the dam.
Paths due to pedestrian, livestock, or vehicular traffic (two and four-wheeled) are a problem on many
embankments. If a path has become established, vegetation will not provide adequate protection and more
durable cover will be required unless traffic is eliminated. Stones may be used effectively to cover such
footpaths.
Runoff often concentrates along embankment slopes where the hinge point on the crest is lower than the
surrounding crest and runoff ponds in these low areas. The concentrated runoff flows downs the slope
cutting the soils and forming rills and gullies resulting in loss of design lines and grades and affecting
stability of the structure.
Upstream Riprap

The upstream face is protected against wave erosion. Rip-rap is provided for the purpose with filter layers
below.
Nonetheless, erosion can still occur in existing riprap. Water running down the slope under the riprap can
erode the finer filter materials under the riprap and soils leaving voids and loss of grade. Wave runup will
also undermine the filter layer especially along the full reservoir level and over time wash out finer
material. This can be checked through observance of linear embankment settlement. Sections of riprap
that have slumped downward are often signs of this kind of erosion. When erosion occurs on the upstream
slope of a dam, repairs should be made as soon as possible. Repairs can be made following the same
design details as provided in the embankment section. proper preparation of the surfaces of the existing
embankment as described in the earlier paragraph for placement and compaction of embankment. Please
refer to IS 8237- Code of practice for protection of Slopes for Reservoir Embankments is recommended
to be reviewed and followed for carrying out this repair work.

128

be taken up as necessary.

Controlling Vegetation

Keep the entire dam clear of unwanted vegetation such as bushes or trees. Excessive growth may cause
several problems:
 It can obscure the surface of an embankment and not allow proper inspection of the dam.
 Large trees can be uprooted by high wind or erosion and leave large voids that can lead to
breaching of the dam.
 Some root systems can decay and rot, creating passageways for water, leading topiping erosion.
 Growing root systems can lift concrete slabs or structures.
 Rodent habitats can develop undetected.
All bushes/trees should be as far as possible removed by root to prevent regrowth. The resulting voids
must be backfilled with suitable, well-compacted soils. It is recommended to remove the plants/vegetation
at their early stage to prevent or minimize their growing into big trees/bushes, etc. In cases where trees
and bushes cannot be removed, the root systems should be treated with environmentally-friendly
herbicides (properly selected and applied) to retard further growth. Concerned Government Agencies must
be consulted for selection of appropriate herbicides & their use for control of vegetation on dam structures
or any water bodies

129
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

Controlling Animal Damage

Livestock are not allowed to graze on the embankment section of the dam. When soil is wet, livestock can
damage vegetation and disrupt the uniformity of the surface. Moreover, livestock tend to walk in
established paths and thus can promote erosion.
The burrows and tunnels of burrowing animals (beaver, muskrat, groundhogs and others) weaken earthen
embankments and serve as pathways for seepage from the reservoir. Large burrows found on the
embankment should be filled by mud packing. This method involves placing vent pipe in a vertical
position over the entrance of the den. Making sure that the pipe connection to the den does not leak, the
mud-pack mixture is poured into the pipe until the burrow and pipe are filled with the soil-water mixture.
The pipe is removed and more dry earth is tamped into the entrance. As per some US publications, the
mud pack is generally made by adding water to 90% earth & 10% cement mixture until a slurry or thin
cement consistency is attained. For bigger holes, bentonite coated stones can also be used. All entrances
should be plugged with well-compacted earth andgrassy vegetation re-established. Dens should be
eliminated without delay. Different repair measures will be necessary if a dam has been damaged by
extensive small or large rodent tunneling activity. The area around the entrance can be excavated and then
backfilled with impervious material. This will plug the passage entrance to prevent water entry and
saturation of the embankment.
Controlling Ants and Termites (White Ants)

Ants and termites have become one of the most serious pests for Embankment dams. They both need
water to survive and have been found on most of the embankment dams in India. These insects can create
problems in the dam itself and with any of its electrical components.
In some habitats, ants and termites can move as much or more soil as earthworms, thereby reducing soil
compaction. Nest galleries can penetrate in a V-shaped pattern below the nest, penetrating as much as
more than one meter deep in the soil. These galleries can create pathways for surface water to penetrate
in the dam, resulting in internal erosion and collapse of the surface.
Ants and termites left undisturbed can build mounds that can become quite large. These can create
problems for mowing. However, frequent mowing can induce the colonies to migrate to neighboring,
undisturbed areas.
There are many options for managing ants and termites. Use only pesticides labeled as suitable for the
location you want to treat. Make every effort to avoid contaminating water with pesticides and ensure .
Controlling Damage from Vehicular Traffic

As mentioned earlier, vehicles driving across an embankment dam can create ruts in the crest if it is not
surfaced with roadway material and sometimes even when sealed with flexible pavement, especially when
the embankment is saturated and overweight trucks use the road. The ruts can then collect water and cause
saturation and softening of the dam. Other ruts may be formed by tractors or other off-road vehicles such
as motorbikes are allowed to drive up and down the embankment face; these can direct runoff resulting in
severe erosion.
Vehicles, except for maintenance, are restricted on the dam top and kept out by fences or barricades. Any
ruts should be repaired as soon as possible.

4.2.2 Masonry / Concrete Dams & Spillways
Various issues/problems that may require maintenance/repairs on the Karanja Concrete/Masonry Dam
and Spillway include but not limited to:
 Damages on spillway glacis, spillway piers, training/divide walls, energy dissipaters, downstream
areas (probable causes are cavitation, abrasion, un-symmetrical flows, unfavorable down-stream
conditions)
 Vegetation growth in unattended areas such as spillway, spillway channel, etc.
 Seepage in the gallerie sand on the downstream face of the dam.
 Cleaning and removal of leached deposits from choked porous and foundation drains.
 Repair to upstream face of masonry dams in case the pointing is damaged, leading to increased
seepage.
 Ensuring safe access to and within the gallery, lighting is also required as well as all outside areas
during the evening hours.
 Ensuring the dam is behaving as designed based on instrumentation programs.
 Periodic maintenance should be performed of all concrete surfaces which are approachable to repair
deteriorated areas.
For remedial measures of problems of special nature advice of experienced engineers /Panel of Experts
needs to be obtained

4.2.3 River Sluices


The sluices should be inspected thoroughly once a year for any damages such as cracks and seepage. As
regards to Hydro-mechanical works, reference may be referred to the appropriate paragraphs in this
chapter.

Photo 22 – C.E. inspection canal sluice gate Minor repairs carried out annually
4.2.4 Gates & Hoisting Equipment
The safe and satisfactory operation of Karanja Dam depends on proper operation of its Gates &Hoisting
Equipment. Maintaining spillway gates in working condition is critical for dam safety and is to be assigned
the highest priority.
If routine inspection of the Hydro-Mechanical Equipment shows the need for maintenance, the work
should be completed as soon as possible. The simplest procedure to ensure smooth operation of gates is
to operate them through their full range at least once, and preferably twice annually (before monsoon &
after monsoon keeping a gap of at least six months). Because operating gates under full reservoir pressure
can result in large discharges, exercising of gates should preferably be carried out during dry conditions
or lean times of the year using the stop-logs/ emergency gates.
Commonly used Gates and Hoists including their inspection / maintenance requirements are discussed
below.
The aspects to be inspected and maintained periodically for ensuring proper operation of these gates are
as under:
i) The gate slot and bottom platform/sill beam should be cleaned periodically. Scales formed
over the embedded parts should be removed. Second-stage concrete should be checked for any
development of cracks / leakages and repairs should be attended to immediately.

132
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

ii) The gate leaf should be thoroughly cleaned and repainted as and when necessary according
to the procedure or guidelines- indicated in IS: 14177 or as per the recommendations of the paint
manufacturer. All drain holes provided in the gate assembly should be cleaned.
iii) Rubber seals should be smoothed, if required, for proper alignment. All nuts and bolts
fixing the seal to the gate should be tightened uniformly to required torques. Seals, if found damaged
or found leaking excessively should be adjusted, repaired or replaced as considered necessary.
iv) The wheel shall be rotated to check their free movement. Gate roller bearings and guide
roller bushes should be properly lubricated. Whenever necessary these should be opened for
rectifications of defects, cleaning and lubrication and should thereafter be refitted. These may be
replaced if repairs are not possible.
v) Hoisting connection of the gate leaf should be lubricated where necessary and defects if
any should be rectified.
vi) All nuts, bolts, check nuts and cotter pins of the lifting devices should be checked

rollers rest uniformly on the track plates particularly in the closed position of the gate.
ix) Where filling valves are provided as part of the gate structure, all the nuts, bolts, check nuts
etc. should be tightened.
x) All welds shall be checked for cracks/ damages. Any weld that might have become
defective should be chipped out and redone following the relevant codal provisions. Damaged nuts,
bolts, rivets, screws etc. should be replaced without delay.
xi) The filling-in valves allow passage of water when it is lifted by lifting beam & crane due
to creation of space between stem seat and exit passage liner. The springs and associated components
should be checked periodically for damages and replaced if necessary.
xii) The guide-assemblies, wheel-assemblies and sealing-assemblies shall be cleared off grit,
sand or any other foreign material.
xiii) The wheel pin shall be coated with corrosion resistant compound.
xiv) All nuts and bolts shall be tightened.
The aspects to be inspected and maintained periodically for ensuring proper operation of these gates
are as under :
a) Rubber Seals:
i) Seals shall be inspected for leakages. Locations of excessive leakages shall be recorded for
taking remedial measures. Weeping or slight flow in localized area will not require immediate
remedial measures. However, measures like tightening of bolts are carried out. Further adjustment is
carried out during annual maintenance.
ii) If leakage is excessive & immediate repair is considered necessary, the stop log gates shall
be dropped and seals repaired or replaced.
NOTE: - During monsoon period, stop log gates shall NEVER be lowered in spite of heavy leakage
through seals.

4.4 Surface Preparation and Painting of HM Works

i) Protection of painted surfaces is considered essential for protection & enhancement of


service life. Gates, their embedded parts, gate leaf, hoists and its supporting structures
need to be protected against corrosion due to climatic condition, weathering, biochemical
reaction and abrasion etc. This equipment is likely to deteriorate or get damaged to any
extent that the replacement of parts may become necessary and such replacement may
become difficult and costly.

ii) Surface preparation & Painting requirements:

Painting for hydro-mechanical works is to be carried out as prescribed in IS 14177 for


both newly manufactured as well as old & used gates, hoists and associated works after
proper surface preparation. The preparation includes thorough cleaning, smoothing
irregular surfaces, rusted
surfaces, weld spatters, oil, grease, dirt, earlier applied damaged layers of primers/ paint
by use of mechanical tools, by use of solvents, wire brush etc. The sand / grit blasting

during the cleaning and painting operation of other components.

141
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

vi) Application of paint:


Mix the contents thoroughly as directed by paint manufacturer before and during use.

Painting at shop can be done by any of the three methods namely Brush / roller,
Conventional spray, Airless spray etc.
The paint can be made to suit the adopted method. But once the gate and equipment is in
erected position the general method adopted is only brush / roller. In case of spray lot of
precautions are to be taken.
For More details: Refer IS: 14177 Part (II) – 1971.

Appendix A – Brushing of paint


Appendix B – Spraying of paint
Appendix C – Spray painting defects: Causes and remedies.

Removal of old paint / rust and carrying out fresh painting:

The carrying out of fresh painting is to be considered under the following conditions:

• The rusting is noticed all over the surface or

• Rusting is severe or

• Cracking and blistering has damaged the primer coat exposing the metal and is
noticed all over the surface or
• The paint film has eroded badly, the scrap of entire paint film to the base metal and
carry out fresh painting.
Note: In case of maintenance and renovation: Refer IS 14177 (Part II) – 1971 for
checking and repainting.

vii) Removal of old paint for repainting:

Caution should be exercised while removing the old paint. The surfaces shall be de-rusted
and descaled by either mechanically by one or more of the methods, namely:
a) Wire brushing, Scraping, and chipping. Sand papering or cleaning with steel wool or
abrasive paper
b) Power tool cleaning

c) Flame cleaning

d) Sand blasting or shot blasting and

e) Chemical rust removal.

Note: The method of application shall be decided based on conditions existing. After
cleaning painting is to be carried out as originally proposed.

142
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

Some are painted without removal of old paint and rusting this will amounts to no
painting and deteriorate faster than the original one.

viii) Inspection and testing of painting of H. M works:

a) The following steps are involved in inspection of painting:

 General inspection before and during painting

 Viscosity test of paints

 Paint thickness test – using Elcometer.

 Inspection of general appearance of finished work.

b) General:

The aim of inspection and testing is to ascertain whether the recommended practice is being employed
correctly during every stage of application and whether the final results fulfill the object of painting.
Any test carried out should be of non – destructive nature or, if it is of destructive nature, it should be
either restricted to areas which can be restored without marring the general appearances or be such
that it is possible to restore easily without necessitating a complete repe- tition of the work.
c) Inspection of surfaces prior to painting:

Inspection methods will depend on whether it is to be painted for the first time or is to be re-
painted.
d)New Works (Not previously painted): The following shall be decided by inspection:

 The method of pre cleaning feasible or recommended;


 The intermediate protective treatments to be applied, if found necessary;
 The final painting schedule and the specifications for the paint for ensuring the
particular performance;
 The method of application, whether by brush, roller or spray.
e) Old Work (Which requires repainting):

The following shall be decided by inspection:

 Whether the entire existing paint requires removal; and/or


 Whether repainting without paint removal would be adequate.

4.5 Electrical System

Electricity is typically used at a dam for lighting and to operate the gates, hoists, recording equip-
ment, and other miscellaneous equipment. It is important that the Electrical system be well main-

143
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

tained, including a thorough check of fuses and a test of the system to ensure that all parts are properly
functioning. The system should be free from moisture and dirt, and wiring should be checked for
corrosion and mineral deposits.

All necessary repairs should be carried out immediately and records of the works kept. Maintain
generators used for auxiliary emergency power -- change the oil, check the batteries and antifreeze and
make sure fuel is readily available.

Monitoring devices usually do not need routine maintenance. Open areas are particularly susceptible
to vandalism. As such all electrical fittings like bulbs, lights, loose wires etc. in open areas should be
checked routinely and replaced / repaired where needed. The recommendations of the manufacturer
should also be referred to.

4.6 Maintenance of Metal Gate Components

All exposed, bare ferrous metal of an outlet installation, whether submerged or exposed to air, will tend
to rust. To prevent corrosion, exposed ferrous metals must be either appropriately painted

(following the paint manufacturer’s directions) or heavily greased in respect of moving parts & on
surfaces like guides & track seats on which there is movement of gates. When areas are repainted, it
should be ensured that paint is not applied to gate seats, wedges, or stems (where they pass through
the stem guides), or on other friction surfaces where paint could cause binding. Heavy grease should
be applied on friction surfaces to avoid binding. As rust is especially damaging to contact surfaces,
existing rust is to be removed before periodic application of gr-ease.

4.7 Access Roads

For a dam to be operated and maintained, there must be a safe means of access to it at all times.
Access road surfaces must be maintained to allow safe passage of automobiles and any required
equipment for servicing the dam in any weather conditions. Routine observations of any cut and fill
slopes along the sides of the road should be made. If unstable conditions develop assistance of
experienced Engineers/Expert Panels should be obtained and remedial measures initiated.

Drains are required to be provided and maintained along roads to remove surface and subsurface
drainage. This will prolong the life of the road and help reduce deterioration from rutting. Road
surfacing should be repaired or replaced as necessary to maintain the required traffic loadings. In most
cases, specialized contractors will be required to perform this maintenance.

144
O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

4.8 General Cleaning

As already suggested, for proper operation of spillways, sluiceways, approach channels, inlet and outlet
structures, stilling basin / energy dissipation arrangements, discharge conduit, dam slopes, trash racks,
debris control devices etc., regular and thorough cleaning and removal of debris is necessary. Cleaning
is especially important after large floods, which tend to send more debris into the reservoir.

4.9 Materials and Establishment Requirements during Monsoon Period

Materials required during monsoon period for both immediate maintenance and preventive
maintenance must be stocked in adequate quantities for emergency situations that may arise. Needful
instructions in this regard is enclosed in the O&M Manual. At Karanja Dam, a 24/7- hour patrol
schedule is carried out during monsoon period. At the same time the additional man- agement
requirements during monsoon period are enhanced.

4.10 General List of Maintenance Records

Maintenance records are of utmost importance. Records are kept of all maintenance activities,
both immediate and preventive maintenance works. Essential information to be recorded
include the following:

 Date and time of maintenance,


 Weather conditions,
 Type of maintenance,
 Name of person, title and / or contractor performing maintenance,
 Description of work performed,
 Length of time it took to complete the work with dates,
 Equipment and materials used, and
 Before and after dated photographs.

5.1.4 Seismological Observations

Parameters being permanently Monitored


Observations of the following parameters need to be continued but not limited to;
• Water levels in the reservoir.
• Hydro-meteorological observations.
• Seepage observations using V-notches/ weirs etc.
• Displacements in the dam by means of survey observations using prism/paper
targets fixed at structures, tilt meters or repaired plumb lines, etc.
• Uplift pressures at dam base using stand pipes in Gravity dams.
In case some of the instruments are not in working condition, following are some of the
steps to be done;
i) In case connecting cables of the non-working instruments are accessible, the
manufac- turer of the said instruments should be approached for checking and
rectification of the installations to make instruments work.
ii) In case the embedded non-working instruments cannot be repaired, the same are to
be abandoned.
Frequency of Monitoring
As a rule of thumb, simple visual observations should be made during each visit to
the dam and not less than monthly. Immediate readings should be taken following a
storm or earthquake. Suggested frequency of measurements is given in the following
table.

These are generally as per the Guidelines on Instrumentation for dams (CWC).

Chapter 6 - Previous Rehabilitation Efforts

Before DRIP, maintenance activities were limited to routine greasing, oiling, and patch painting of hydro-
mechanical devices; routine repair of electrical systems; gallery drainage; routine mowing, vegetation
removal, repair of eroded section, etc. Apart from these routine maintenance activities, no major
rehabilitation was carried before the involvement of DRIP. Remote Control for management of gate
operations (SCADA) was incorporated in 2001/2002 with conventional micro-processor card system and
modernized with PLC and IP based with night vision cameras during 2015/2018.

O&M Manual for Karanja Dam January 2020

Chapter 7 - Updating the Manual


As features of the dam and appurtenant structures change occasionally, the O&M Manual must be edited
and portions rewritten to reflect these changes. This important task is often ignored. Updating information
in the O&M Manual should be done whenever major changes like construction of an additional spillway,
construction of dam on the upstream etc. take place. Aspects to be considered when updating include:

 Increase/decrease in the frequency of an inspection or the maintenance routine based on additional


data/ experience acquired.
 Changes in the operation and/or maintenance procedures based on additional data/experience
acquired.
 Alterations to the project data because of changes/modifications in the dam by way of additional
spillway etc.

All up-dates/revisions of the O&M Manual need to be sent to all the locations/addresses to whom the
copies of the original O&M Manual had been sent earlier. It is recommended that O&M Manuals be
reviewed/ updated after every 10 years by the respective Dam Owners.

APPENDIX III ― MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR MAINTENANCE DURING
MONSOON

Materials during monsoon period should be stocked in adequate quantity as experience shows them to
be necessary. Particular care should be taken that the required materials are distributed with careful fore-
thought so as to be readily available everywhere, particularly at dangerous sites. The quantity of materials
required depends on importance or dangerousness of the dam and the distances of the dam from the nearest
stations at which these can be purchased. This will need to be worked out by the respective dam owners /
state govt. as per their experience & documented in the O & M Manual for the dams. The following norms
have been prescribedby the Govt. of Madhya Pradesh for their projects during monsoon period.

Condition: Please rate the condition as either Satisfactory, Fair, Poor or Unsatisfactory as described below:
1. Satisfactory - No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading
conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the applicable regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
2. Fair - No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal loading conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic
events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
3. Poor - A dam safety deficiency is recognized for loading conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. Poor
may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Further
investigations and studies are necessary.
4. Unsatisfactory - A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.

Gate operation schedules of spillways for Karanja dam


Gate operation schedules for dams with gated spillways

The gate operation schedule must be prepared based on the site conditions the result of model studies
and the regulation schedule of the reservoir. The gate operation schedule should clearly indicate the
complete sequence and stage of operation of various gates corresponding to various lake levels and the
flood situations. These details should also be incorporated in the standing operating of the reservoir
along with the regulation schedule and maintance schedule of the gate. A typical gate operation schedule
of Karanja Dam on Karanja river in Godavari basin. The following general guidelines may be borne in
mind in preparing the gate operation schedule: -

(a) If the dam has got stilling basin at two different elevation then the gates with stilling basin at
lower at lower level should be operated first. The regulation of gates should be based on model
studies. The aim will be to ensure safety of dam structure including the gate parts energy
dissipation arrangement and spillway tail channel while letting out the desired discharge.
(b) The enc gate should normally be opened first to prevent cross flows striking against the guide
walls and junctions.
(c) At any time during the operation of different gates, the difference in gate opening of any two
consecutive gates should not exceed 0.8 meters.
(d) After opening the end gate, that gates at the center should be opened and the other gate should
be opened in symmetrical manner starting from the center towards the end through gradual
increase in the openings.
(e) While closing the gates, the gate that was opened last should be closed first. The procedure to be
followed for closing the gates would generally be the reverse of the procedure followed for
opening the gates. Complete closure of the gates should be accomplished by gradual lowering of
the gates by 0.2 to 0.3meter in the proper sequence.
(f) All efficient and reliable system of flood forecasting should be stabilized at the dam site to
facilitated
(i) Formulation of accurate forecasts of rate of inflow and volume of floods at the dam site (ii)
regulation of the gates for efficient flood disposal.
(g) While surplussing the floods when the reservoir is at or near about the F.R.L. towards the end of
monsoon
(i)the reservoir level should not be allowed to encroach upon the free board.
(ii) no part of conservation storage is allowed to spill towards the later part of the monsoon
