Hartek Power, the EPC arm of the Hartek Group, has won a major order from Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd for executing a 132kV gas-insulated substation at the 31-acre National Cancer Institute of the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences in Jhajjar, Haryana.
This is the first GIS substation project for the Hartek Group. The scope of the project includes complete EPC of the 132kV substation right from survey, design and engineering to supply, construction and project management.
The project, which is scheduled to be completed by September next year, will cater to the electricity requirements of the entire National Cancer Institute campus comprising a 710-bed hospital, 15 laboratories for principal investigators and a separate diagnostics block.
Being set up on the lines of the National Cancer Institute of USA, the upcoming AIIMS National Cancer Institute will cater to about 10 lakh patients every year and hire 2,700 employees at full capacity. It is coming up with an investment of Rs.2,035 crore in Bhadsa village of Jhajjar district near Delhi. Said to be the largest public health project of Independent India, the institute will act as a nodal centre for all cancer-related research with linkages with all regional cancer centres of the country.
Safer, low-weight, maintenance-free and more reliable with fewer outages, gas-insulated substations have emerged as the preferred choice in large cities, indoor locations, underground stations and hilly areas, a release from Hartek Group noted.
According to Hartek Group CMD Hartek Singh said, “This first GIS project of Hartek Power, marks a high point for us in the adoption of the latest know-how.”
Hartek Power has to its credit more than 150 high-voltage and extra high-voltage substations and transmission lines. Some key projects executed by the company include 13 bays of a 220kV substation at the first in-house 4×300-mw thermal plant of Reliance Energy at Shahjahanpur, UP, 132kV substation projects for a 40-mw solar plant in Rajasthan and a 132kV substation for Larsen & Toubro’s 40-mw solar project at Dhansa, Rajasthan.
