Sri Lankan Infrastructure and development thread (rail,road,skyscrapers etc etc)

[Godman]

Decided to create this thread to show Sri lankan development projects as Indians and Bangladesh already have several sticky threads on that. This will have both Public and private projects of all kinds.


There will be no difference on who started the project or who planned it. There will be no discrimination for any government. And no political fights here please.
@Saradiel @Gibbs @NGV-H and also @HeinzG

I would appreciate if this can be made a sticky thread

Hayleys unveils solar power plant in Welikande

Hayleys Group jointly with Windforce (Pvt.) Ltd and in the forefront of renewable energy, announced today the commissioning of their solar power plant. Located in Welikande in the Pollonnaruwa District, the 10 Mega Watt solar plant has been installed with a solar tracking system that will follow the sun’s rays to ensure an incrementally higher yield of approximately 20 % of energy, than the fixed tilt system. At full capacity, the plant could contribute 22,000 Mega Watt hours to the national grid thus generate enough electricity for roughly 10,000 homes.

Client
Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply and Drainage
(World Bank – Strategic Cities Development Project)
Colombo, Sri Lanka

Consortium
Keios (Italy), ECL (Sri Lanka)

Location
Sri Lanka, Kandy

Period
2015 – underway


Project Description
Kandy is the main urban centre in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. It aspires to become a liveable and vibrant historic city encapsulating urban culture, identity and religious significance. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is home to the Temple of the Tooth which houses the Buddha’s tooth relic, thus making it one of the most revered cities in the country.
Located on a plateau, the city is nested among hilly terrain that constrains its spatial growth. Currently, the city suffers of major traffic congestion and of road weak conditions as well as of the lack of good pedestrian connectivity and vibrant public spaces, unplanned development, and low maintenance of infrastructure facilities. As a tourist destination, the city lacks quality facilities and attractions.
The main objective of the assignment is to upgrade key urban areas that will contribute towards transforming this city in a vibrant tourism and economic centre.
The project aims at improving liveability by protecting the environment and developing the urban centre, reorganizing city functions to increase investment attractiveness, enhancing public urban spaces and achieving significant urban transformation to respond to economic growth.
The total cost of selected investment projects is around 25 million USD.


Scope of Services
Preparation of a vision statement and of an urban scheme leading to a list of investment projects; preliminary and detailed design and bidding documents of a selection of identified investment projects; quality assurance during the implementation stage.
