Afcons Infrastructure achieves breakthrough in CIDCO water tunnel project, offers to complete six months ahead

Afcons Infrastructure has achieved a significant milestone by completing the first tunnel breakthrough in the City and Industrial Development Corporation’s (CIDCO) Augmentation of Hetawane Water Supply Scheme at Shaft-4 in Wahal village in PKG-1. This breakthrough marks the first tunnel breakthrough in CIDCO’s history across all its projects. Despite geological and logistical challenges, Afcons has set national tunnelling records by adopting innovative practices. The company aims to complete the project six months ahead of schedule while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards. The project involves the construction of a 13.25- kilometre raw water tunnel and a 15.4-kilometre treated water tunnel, which will enhance CIDCO’s water supply capacity from the existing 120 million litres per day (MLD) to 270 MLD upon completion.
