Progress of the works in the Tannery Industrial Estate, Dhaka project area.

Posted by admin on September 1, 2016 with 0 Comment

Construction works is going in full swing at Tannery Industrial Estate, Dhaka (TIED) are classified into two categories – (1) those to be completed by the project implementing agency (BSCIC) and (2) those to be done by the tannery owners. In principle, the two groups will proceed simultaneously. So that the construction made by BSCIC may not be left unused in case the relocation of tanneries lag behind. Similarly tanneries shifted to TIED may not sit idle and fail to start production in case the constructions of BSCIC remain incomplete. Following is the state of progress (as on 31.05.2016) of works by both the parties:-

BSCIC

CETP	:	Ø Of the 4 modules of CETP, civil construction works of 2 are almost completed, though not fully ready for operation. Ø Mechanical works have not been completed. Some of the required machineries and equipments have not yet been established. Ø Effluent Pumping System (EPS) connecting individual industrial units with the CETP through pipes is still incomplete. Ø The rest 2 modules will need much time to be completed.
Common Chrome Recovery Unit (CCRU)	:	There will be 3 units of this component. Of them progress of construction of 1 unit is worth mentioning while that of the rest 2 is in initial stage.
Dumping Yard	:	Construction works are at very initial stage. Much time will be required to make it ready for use.
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)	:	Construction works yet to be started
Sludge Power Generation System (SPGS)	:	Construction works yet to be started
Solid Waste Management System (SWMS)	:	Construction works yet to be started
GAS	:	Connecting pipes in the TIED have been set up. Entrepreneurs have applied for GAS connection. It is under process. No connection to any individual unit has so far been established.
Electricity	:	Temporary connection for construction work have been given. Tannery owners have applied for permanent connection for running the factories. Their applications are under process. A good number of existing electric poles have been badly damaged. They need replacement.
