Tamil Research Institute
RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
• Oil and chemical-handling facilities will be located with consideration of natural drainage systems and
environmentally-sensitive areas
• Hazardous materials storage and handling facilities will be constructed away from active traffic and will
protect storage areas from vehicle accidents
• Fuel dispensing equipment will be equipped with breakway. Those connections that provide emergency
shutdown of flow should the fuelling connection be broken by movement.
• All ancillary equipment (e.g., valves, hoses) should be contained securely within the lock when not in use.
Will ensure that tanks are correctly marked or labeled as to their contents and capacities
• Keep a store of spill response equipment at the fuel facility and bowsers.
• Standard operating procedures that reduce or eliminate the chance of a spill, even in the case of
equipment failure.
• Routine maintenance and testing schedules should be determined for all aspects of port operation
particular attention paid to product storage and handling and fuel transfer systems.
• General awareness of all workers should be increased through training and safety meetings with focus of
Environmental Management systems and practices with “Zero Waste Tolerance” planned with an
objective to achieve as much as we can.
• Port operator should be required to develop system for holding and collecting storm water runoff and
surface runoff produced by site activities and its treatment before discharge.
• Waste water should be treated up to the standards for discharge (Prevention and Control of Pollution).
As for Road & Rail Connectivity
• In order to avoid the littering of waste material into the water bodies; it is recommended to put out of sight
the exposure of the water bodies from the road user by constructing a protective wall along the sides of
the bridges / culverts. In addition to the proposed function, the protective side wall will also serve as noise
barrier.
• Walls and slabs is proposed to prevent seepage at ponds. This will arrest any possibility of drying up of
the water in the pond.
5.2.3.2. Marine water quality
• The wastewater and sewage generated during construction at site and at labour camp will be
collected in holding tank and periodically transferred to nearby Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). In
case of non availability of nearby STP, septic tank with soak pits is recommended during
construction phase.
• Surface run-off from the construction site should be discharged via sand/silt removal facilities such
as sand or silt traps and sediment basins. Channels, earth bunds, or sandbag barriers should be
provided on site to direct storm water to such silt removal facilities.
• Waste water management plan will be incorporated in the contractors EMP. Special provision will
be made to select Contractor with proven track record in implementation of EMP. Payment
provision shall be linked to the successful planning and implementation of EMP including good
Contractor and labour camp will all EMP facilities.
• Breakwaters shall be constructed in a way to maintain good tranquil conditions.
Often used to limit the impact of turbidity. In some cases where relatively quiescent current conditions (0.2 ft/sec
or less) are present, turbidity levels in the water column outside the curtain can be 80 to 90 percent lower than
