Major Project Achievements

Central Water Commission-India, River Discharge Measurement

A high-tech system, “Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler” for the first time in India is being applied to river discharge measurement was supplied to the Central Water Commission by IES. Under this project, IES has been entrusted to supply, commission and Conduct Training for Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers for River Discharge Measurements. This contract was under the Hydrology Project funded by The World bank.

Central Water Commission-India, Flood Forecasting

This is a World Bank project under a global competition IESI has been awarded a contract valued at 15 crores. This is a turnkey project for supply, installation & commissioning of dam safety and flood forecasting systems in the Mahanadi & Chambal basins. This project was commissioned in the record time of 8 months. The Mahanadi and Chambal rivers in Eastern and Central India, respectively, often fold during the monsoon season. The Flood Monitoring and Forecasting System consists of supply and installation of fifty-five Remote Monitoring stations, measuring hydro-meteorological parameters such as water level, rainfall, temperature, humidity, evaporation, etc. along the banks of these two rivers. Information from these stations is beamed to satellite. Two satellite Reception Ground Stations have been installed in Jaipur and Burla for the reception of data and computer analysis. This data will enable the Central Water Commission of India to warn people, of possible floods, as well as provide valuable information to plan dams for agricultural irrigation. We have already signed a Maintenance Contract with the client for next three years (in addition to two years warranty).

Municipal Corporation of greater Mumbai- India, Rainfall Monitoring

MCGM installed 30 Vantage pro2 Weather stations at all of its Fire Station to monitor the rainfall and other weather parameters under its disaster management plan so as to know the real time exact pattern of the rain all over Mumbai city and the suburbs within municipality area. All the stations are programmed to provide audible alarm, at a programmed threshold for rainfall. Fire brigade being first respondent and on 24 hours alert, the weather stations will be installed at fire stations.

A.P Coastal Hazard Mitigation Project-India, Cyclone Monitoring Stations

Supply, Integration, Testing, Installation& Commissioning of 5 Cyclone Monitoring Stations in the Coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh for Wind & Storm Surge Modeling. Under this World Bank funded APCHMP Project, Delft has been awarded a contract for coastal zone management and developing wind models. After extensive evaluation, Delft Hydraulics entered into agreement with IES for Supply, Installation, Commissioning, and Testing at Sites.

India Meteorological Department-India, IMDPS Project

IMD (Indian Meteorological Department) through DGS&D has awarded the project to IES India, at a value of Rs 10 crore. This was a global tender. This is a high tech project for setting a data processing center for INSAT 2E, which was launched in April 1999. This project is currently in progress. The project involves the development of a system called IMDPS to collect and process imagery data from India’s INSAT-2E Satellite. The IMD for weather forecasting will use this imagery. The system includes Data Ingestion System (DIS), Front End Processing System (FEPS), Data Base Server and Graphics Processing System( DSGP) and interface with the Regional Telecommunications Hub (RTH). All systems are duplicated to provide redundancy.

India Meteorological Department-India, SDUC System Project

IMD (Indian Meteorological Department) through DGS&D has awarded a contract to IES India for supply of 10 SDUC workstations valued at Rs 45 Lakh. These workstations are used for real time analysis of satellite imageries.  These are high-tech workstations and there are very few companies in the world who have capabilities to provide such functionalities as provided by IESI. This project has been completed. IES is signing a maintenance contract with this client for another year.

India Meteorological Department-India, DCP Project

IESI supplied 15 AWS (Automatic Weather Stations) to India Meteorological Department, Pune. This was a global tender through DGS&D. The contract valued at 55 lacs was awarded to IESI under competition from various large organization like – Electronic Corporation of India (ECIL) Govt. of India undertaking, GCEL (Govt. of Gujarat undertaking) etc. The project was completed in Oct. 1997.

This project comprises of Kipp & Zonen, Netherlands, Large Aperture Scintillometer with Campbell scientific Weather instruments and accessories.

Snow Avalanche & Study Establishment (SASE)- India, RRTS

Snow Avalanche & Study Establishment Chandigarh has awarded this project to IES India. This project comprises of 3 Snow Weather Monitoring Stations. The scope of the project included meteorological & snow sensors, data collection platform, VHF transmitter & data processing. After the success of this project IES was also awarded a repeat order and RRTS-IV project.

SASE – Snow Weather Monitoring System

This project comprises of 3 Weather Stations. The scope of project included meteorological & snow sensors, data collection platform, VHF transmitter & data processing. The project was successfully commissioned and handed over to SASE in July 2003. SASE has again placed a repeat order to IES for 3 Weather Stations.

SASE – DCP Project Phase –I

This was a turnkey project for supply, installation and commissioning of 4 AWS (Automatic weather station) at a value of Rs. 40 lacks. The scope of project included meteorological & snow sensors, data collection platform, INSAT transmitter & data processing. The project was successfully commissioned and handed over to SASE in March 1998.

SASE – DCP Phase – II

In view of good performance for the system supplied by IESI, SASE placed an order for the supply of 12 no. AWS valued at 94 Lakh. The material has already been supplied.

Bhakra Beas Management Board-India, DCP Project

A turnkey project for monitoring of water level of balancing reservoir in Sunder Nagar at Dehar Power Home – 14 km down streams of Sunder Nagar was awarded to IESI in July 1997 at a value of Rs. 6 Lakhs.  This was a pilot project, which will be followed by a network of Data Collection Platforms to monitor Satluj & Beas river basins.

The project was commissioned successfully in Dec 1997. IESI has already entered into the Annual Maintenance Contract with the client for another year. The 2nd phase project is under consideration of the management of BBMB. The project is likely to be approx 3 Corers.

India Meteorological Department-India, Metar/Speci Bulletin Display System Project

IESI has installed a weather information distribution system at two of the International Airports in India (Mumbai and Calcutta). These systems are used for dissemination of current weather information through out the Air Traffic Control setup and this information is also passed to Pilots for their takeoff and landing procedures. IES is likely to install a few more such systems on other Airports in India. IESI has recently signed the Annual Maintenance Contract with this client for marinating the system for another year.
