Hyderabad’s Sewage system was originally developed for a much smaller population and had been incrementally expanded over decades. Rapid urbanisation, industrial growth and service area expansion overloaded the network. Frequent sewer overflows, illegal connections and discharge of untreated wastewater into natural drains and water bodies created environmental and public health risks. The project focused on comprehensive assessment of trunk sewers, zonal and terminal pumping stations and treatment facilities to optimise conveyance, reduce system overloads and develop a phased plan for sewage treatment expansion. Multiple treatment process options were evaluated to balance performance, cost and long-term sustainability.

TCE's Story

Tata Consulting Engineers reviewed, refined and upgraded the overall Sewage strategy. The scope included hydraulic analysis of existing sewers to determine carrying capacity, assessment of present and future command areas, estimation of domestic and industrial wastewater flows and preparation of a comprehensive Sewage master plan. Interceptor based routing strategies were identified to reduce pumping requirements and optimise performance. Present worth analysis supported selection of technically sound and economically viable treatment processes. Designs were prepared for new zonal and terminal pumping stations, treatment facilities and low cost sanitation solutions for underserved areas. Capacity building and knowledge transfer to local teams formed an integral part of the assignment.

Impact

The project strengthened Hyderabad’s Sewage planning framework, reduced environmental pollution risks and established a robust foundation for long term wastewater management aligned with the city’s growth trajectory.
