Seven lakh tonnes solid waste at Sewage Farm: Clearing work on war-footing
Also, the authorities concerned were at the receiving end of the complaints by the tax-paying citizens of nearby localities over the foul smell emanating from the mounds of garbage as well as the threat posed to their health.
Eventually, the works on clearing the waste was handed over to Surat-based Company named D.H. Patel, at an estimated cost of Rs. 59 crore.
Prior to launching the works, the unit was built at the premises of Sewage Farm in March this year. Along with this, the rest area was built for the personnel involved in clearing the waste. Following this, all the preparations were made to start the works without giving room for any hiccup.
Six blocks: The legacy waste is classified into six blocks and among those blocks, 35 percent of the waste has been cleared in block 1. The works on remaining blocks will follow later.
Two huge machines of Power Screen company are deployed in processing the waste, that will be loaded on to it by an earth- moving machine. The plastic, soil and compost and several other things among them will be thoroughly segregated with the help of the machinery, with a target of clearing 1,000 tonnes of waste daily, with the work lasting for 10 hours in a day.
