Uppur Supercritical Thermal Power Project is located in Uppur and near Tiruvadanai, Ramanathapuram District in Tamil Nadu. The power plant is one of the coal based power plants of TANGEDCO. This project is being constructed by BHEL, L&T and Reliance Infrastructure.[1]

Construction[edit]

RIL was awarded the engineering, procurement and construction contract in the BoP package and allied civil works, BHEL was awarded the boiler, turbine and generator contract and L&T was awarded the seawater intake and outfall system contract.[2][3]

Materials for erection brought to the site and foundation process under progress. Foundation for two units of plant under Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited has already been completed.[4] ESP 1 & ESP 2 foundation completed and now erection activity is going on. The boiler foundation for unit 1 & 2 also completed with the efforts of BHEL Engineers. The Structural contractors have also been mobilized. The fabrication work is in full swing. BHEL Engineers Sh Ashok Kumar, Sh Rakesh Raushan, Sh Naveen Kumar, Sh Anand Kumar & Sh Mohit J Trivedi have made their efforts to speed-up the progress but due to environmental issues things are at stand still.
