Project Overview
Aaraa Infrastructure is currently involved in the execution of civil and infrastructure works for a large-scale renewable-energy project at Hulikunte, Karnataka.
The project involves multiple interconnected construction activities required to establish the physical infrastructure for solar-power generation and its associated electrical systems. Aaraa Infrastructure's scope extends across site execution, survey and setting-out, civil foundations, equipment foundations, structural works, concreting, finishing, quality control, safety management and project handover activities.
The work is being executed in accordance with approved engineering drawings, project specifications, quality requirements and site safety procedures.
1. Solar Module Mounting Infrastructure
Civil activities required for the MMS foundation system, including survey marking, augered/DTH foundation execution, concreting, capping, alignment, and backfilling across 6,200 locations.
2. Electrical Infrastructure Foundations
ITC foundations for 13.2 MVA and 8.8 MVA blocks, including IDT transformer foundations, inverter-room foundations, HT/ICOG panel foundations, auxiliary transformers, NIFPS, and burn-oil-pit structures.
Aaraa Infrastructure's Complete Scope of Work
Rather than presenting the project simply as a foundation contract, Aaraa Infrastructure manages the complete, end-to-end execution chain handled on site:
1. Project Mobilisation
The project begins with mobilization of construction manpower, engineers and supervisors, Quality and EHS personnel, heavy construction machinery, tools and equipment, materials, temporary site facilities, and material-handling resources.
2. Site Preparation and Work-Front Management
Aaraa's documented responsibilities include work-area preparation, material handling, material storage, construction access roads, local coordination, machinery movement, continuous housekeeping, waste/material carting, and work-front barricading.
3. Survey and Setting Out
Precision starts with survey marking using a Total Station, establishing the exact grid coordinates for 6,200 foundation locations corresponding with approved project layouts and mounting-structure arrangements.
4. Solar Foundation Construction (6,200 Locations)
Following survey and setting-out, Aaraa's scope moves into high-volume foundation execution:
- 1.4 m foundation depth with 300 mm diameter
- M25 grade concrete with 150 mm concrete capping
- 1,860 augered locations and 4,340 DTH-drilled locations
- Precise vertical alignment, backfilling, compaction, and levelling
5. Electrical Infrastructure & Inverter Room Foundations
A significant part of Aaraa Infrastructure's involvement is the construction of heavy structural foundations supporting 13.2 MVA and 8.8 MVA power blocks:
13.2 MVA Block Scope
- IDT Transformer foundation
- Inverter room foundation & steel canopy
- Main HT Panel foundation
- NIFPS foundation with fire protection tank
- Burn oil pit tank
- Auxiliary transformer foundation
8.8 MVA Block Scope
- IDT Transformer foundation
- Inverter room foundation & superstructure
- ICOG Panel foundation
- Burn oil pit tank
- Auxiliary transformer foundation
- Enclosed fencing & gravel filling
Aaraa Infrastructure executes structural steel components including columns, rafters, purlins, bracing, handrails, and stairs for inverter room canopy structures, creating complete functional infrastructure. Shanmugam / Operations Head
