Harnessing Water for Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security

Agriculture drives the economy of Gujarat and large parts of India — and reliable irrigation infrastructure is its foundation. HRP Infra Pvt. Ltd. brings over fifteen years of dedicated irrigation engineering expertise to the planning and delivery of dams, barrages, canal networks, and lift irrigation systems that help farmers receive assured water supply season after season.

Our team works alongside state irrigation departments, GWRDC, and district-level implementing agencies to prepare technically rigorous DPRs, detailed designs, tender documents, and construction supervision reports that meet CWC, BIS, and state-specific technical requirements.

What We Design

Flow Irrigation & Lift Irrigation Schemes

HRP Infra covers both gravity-fed and pump-based irrigation delivery systems, from the headworks to the farm gate.

Gravity-Based

Flow Irrigation Schemes

Headworks, main canals, branch canals, distributaries, minors, and field channels designed to convey water from a dam or barrage to agricultural land entirely by gravity, minimising energy costs for irrigators and governments.

Pump-Based

Lift Irrigation Schemes

Pump house design, rising mains, storage reservoirs, and pressurised distribution networks to deliver water to elevated command areas unreachable by gravity, especially critical for tail-end farmers and hilly terrain.

Full Service Scope

Our Dam & Irrigation Consultancy Services

From hydrological assessment and dam design to command area development and farm-level irrigation planning, HRP Infra delivers end-to-end project management.

Dam & Barrage Design

Hydrological analysis, flood routing, dam crest design, spillway sizing, energy dissipator design, and free-board calculations for earthen dams, concrete gravity dams, check dams, and barrages.

Canal Network Design

Alignment surveys, longitudinal & cross-section design, canal lining design (CC/brick), head regulators, cross-regulators, falls, escapes, and cross-drainage works using Kennedy's and Lacey's theories.

Lift Irrigation Pump Station Design

Pump selection, motor sizing, pump house civil design, rising main hydraulics, valve chamber design, and SCADA/automation specifications for reliable and energy-efficient pumping operations.

Command Area Development

Field channel layout, field drain design, land levelling surveys, chak development plans, and on-farm water management works for maximising irrigation efficiency at the field level.

DPR & Hydrological Studies

Preparation of detailed project reports including catchment area treatment, water balance studies, yield estimation, command area assessment, and benefit-cost ratio analysis for state scheme funding.

Dam Safety Assessment

Condition assessment, visual inspection, stability and seepage analysis, and rehabilitation feasibility studies for existing dams under the CWC Dam Safety Act 2021 and DRIP programme guidelines.

Why Choose HRP Infra

Irrigation Engineering with Field-Proven Expertise

  • CWC & BIS Compliance: All dam and irrigation designs conform to CWC design standards, BIS codes, and Gujarat state irrigation department guidelines for seamless approvals.
  • Integrated Topographic & Hydrological Surveys: In-house survey teams conduct precise topographic, soil, and hydrological data collection, enabling higher design accuracy and reduced field ambiguities.
  • GIS-Based Planning: Satellite imagery and GIS tools used for command area mapping, canal alignment optimisation, and catchment delineation for time and cost efficiency.
  • Government Scheme Experience: Deep familiarity with GWRDC, Sujalam Sufalam Jal Abhiyan, AIBP, and PMKSY funding and reporting requirements.
  • End-to-End Delivery: Single-firm responsibility from DPR to commissioning, reducing coordination overhead for implementing agencies and ensuring design intent is maintained through construction.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of dams and irrigation structures does HRP Infra design?
HRP Infra designs earthen dams, concrete gravity dams, check dams, farm ponds, barrages, weirs, and regulating structures for irrigation and water storage. The firm also designs the associated canal networks, distribution systems, and cross-drainage works.
What is the difference between flow irrigation and lift irrigation?
Flow irrigation conveys water from a reservoir or barrage to agricultural land entirely by gravity through main, branch, and distributary canals. Lift irrigation involves pumping water from a river, lake, or reservoir to command areas at higher elevations, enabling irrigation of fields that gravity-based systems cannot reach.
Does HRP Infra prepare DPRs for irrigation projects funded by state government schemes in Gujarat?
Yes. HRP Infra has substantial experience preparing DPRs for irrigation projects under Gujarat government schemes including GWRDC, Sujalam Sufalam Jal Abhiyan, and tribal area development programmes, ensuring reports meet funding agency technical and financial appraisal requirements.
What is command area development and does HRP Infra cover it?
Command area development (CAD) encompasses field channels, field drains, land levelling, and on-farm water management works within the irrigable area below a dam or barrage. HRP Infra provides integrated CAD planning as part of its irrigation scheme consultancy, ensuring water delivered by the main system reaches the field effectively.
Can HRP Infra conduct dam safety inspections and rehabilitation studies?
Yes. HRP Infra conducts condition assessment, safety inspections, seepage and stability analyses, and rehabilitation feasibility studies for existing dams in line with CWC Dam Safety Act 2021 requirements and DRIP programme guidelines.
