Keller Group : Is the largest independent Jet grouting
geotechnical solutions specialist in the world. With
operations in more than 40 countries across six
continents.
Established in 1860 and has more than 20 major
acquisitions since 2018.
Headquarters: London, England.
In India: Chennai
Keller work at Polavaram project:
Jet grouting for up stream and downstream
Coffer dam.
Working time :4months
SILENT FEATURES

LOCATION: Up stream and down

steam of ECRF dam.
DESIGN FLOOD: 28 lakh cusecs.
U/S SIDE AND D/S SIDE COFFER
DAM LENGTH:2356m and 1613m
TOP BANK LEVEL OF U/S SIDE
AND D/S SIDE COFFER DAM :
42.03m AND 28.00m
TYPE OF CUT OFF: Jet grouting
20m at u/s side and 10m at d/s
side.
 Work involvement:
Jet grouting at u/p stream side coffer dam.
Geotechnical aspects: Up stream coffer dam section:
Sand is cohesion less soil so it as
low water tightness compared to
cohesion soils.
To with stand the pressure of 42m
400pas and also to acts as a barrier
to stop the water from u/s side of
dam to d/s side “Jet grouting” is
selected.
Generally co efficient of
permeability of sands are 10^-6,so
we have increase it up to 10^-9.
Bed rock is found at 40m to 90m sand
from the river bed.
Depth of sand layers is varies from silt
26m to 40 m.
Slit and clay: varies at different
depths. clay
Pressure at bottom of the dam is
400pas. Bed rock
