KWA Reservoir Structural Stability Testing Initiated in Kochi
SUEZ has commenced a structural stability assessment of KWA's aging reservoirs and infrastructure in Kochi, focusing on older facilities. This assessment, crucial due to past incidents like the Thammanam tank burst, aims to ensure the reliability of water supply systems.

The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) has initiated a structural stability assessment of its reservoirs and related infrastructure in Kochi, with SUEZ conducting non-destructive testing. The evaluation, which began a week ago, is focused on facilities over five years old, excluding newer structures built under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).
It encompasses six pumping stations, five overhead tanks, and eight ground-level tanks within the Kochi Corporation limits, with an estimated completion time of two months. Given that many reservoirs exceed 30 years in age, this assessment is vital for detecting potential leaks or cracks to prevent future water supply disruptions.
