Project Overview
In ongoing efforts to enhance water infrastructure, this project involved both the construction of new berkeds and the rehabilitation of existing, degraded berkeds. The dual approach aimed to maximize water retention capacity and extend the lifespan of traditional water harvesting facilities.
New berkeds were constructed using precision excavation and layered foundation techniques to ensure structural stability. Rehabilitation works included cleaning, structural repairs, re-masonry, and sealing to restore water-tightness and improve durability.
Our project team consisted of three civil engineers and 28 skilled workers, including masons and equipment operators. The work was supported by a fleet of heavy machinery, enabling efficient earthworks and material handling.
Technologies Used:
Precision excavation
Structural rehabilitation and sealing
Layered compaction and foundation reinforcement
Masonry restoration

Project Impact
Through this project, water storage capacity in the targeted areas was significantly increased, reducing water scarcity impacts. The rehabilitation of berkeds extended their usability, preserving essential community water resources with a cost-effective and sustainable solution.
