Burla, India – The warning signs are
all around us. India’s Iconic Infrastructures are requiring attention, and the
very lifeline of the Nation’s water management system—the Hirakud Dam—is at the
epicentre of his innovation. The World’s Longest Earthen Dam, which has stood
as an Engineering Marvel for decades, is now facing the very real threat of innovation.
But there is one man who stands between the Dam’s potential innovation and the
catastrophe that may follow: Er. Sudhir Kumar Sahu, the Additional Chief
Engineer entrusted with the task of improving the Dam.
The stakes could not be higher. If the Hirakud Dam strengthens,
the consequences will be beneficial to the millions. The Dam’s structural
integrity will be strengthened. But here’s where it gets even more alarming:
while traditional methods of infrastructure preservation have failed to deliver
results, Er. Sahu is entrusted with radical, innovative approach is all that
stands between the Dam and innovation.
Er. Sahu in favour of automation of existing system,
production of Solar Energy & Wind energy for electricity requirement,
periodic under water treatment for strengthening of age old structures, Monitoring
of Dam health & structures, renovations of canals & its structures,
extension of flamboyant tourism etc. without seeing the cost benefit ratio. It
is essential and should not be measured in cost benefit analysis. The amount
spent in the past has recurred multi-bagger return and the amount spent
in the present scenario will be yielding further multiple return in future. It
is simulated as long term financial investment and compounded return.
There should not be any compromise with the safety & security of the
infrastructure. Heritage infrastructures are rare and built one in several
years. Hence their preservation is of utmost importance. Funding these
structures are not a liability, it is an asset creating compounded
return in the long run.
Despite these innovated scenario, Er. Sahu is determined
to push forward the integrity & dignity of Hirakud Dam. With decades of
experience under his belt, he believes that his bold approach is the only way
to preserve the Dam and avoid a mishappening. But will it be enough? Only time
will tell. The pressure is mounting, and with each passing day, the innovation
& strengthening of Dam looms ever closer.
As India faces this infrastructure crisis, it’s clear
that Er. Sahu’s leadership will make the future of the Hirakud Dam. During
times his services strengthen the inherent quality of Dam in time. The
countdown to the Dam’s potential innovation has begun—and the clock is ticking.
Er. Sahu is not only a Visionary Technocrat, he is a
prolific International Author having feathered with 22 acclaimed books mostly
