Average river width is varying from 296 to 732 mts. Height of bank ranging from 4 to 12.50 mts. General slope of the river is 1:5000. The edge of the river is not clearly defined by embankment / retaining wall..

Project Objectives. Keep River clean through diversion of sewers Reconnect city to the river Create conducive urban environment Create urban space for public utilities like parks, garden, jogging track, walkway, informal market etc..

SPV to Execute Sabarmati River Front Development.

Project Details. Total Length 21 Kms i.e., 42 Kms considering East and west side Phase -1 is 12.5 Kms and Phase – 2 is 8.5 Kms Phase – 1 in 3 stages i.e., Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Stage 1 is completed, stage 2 is under progress and Stage 3 is also under progress Project site of 455 ha is located on the both the sides of Sabarmati river bank Approximate 21 km stretch passing through the heart of the city of Ahmedabad.

Detailed survey of the physical features of the river, bridges and adjacent areas. Analysis of river hydraulics Study of existing land use for the use of reclaimed land. Study of various options for retaining wall and embankment. Comprehensive survey and analysis of river bank slums. Detailed survey of storm water outfalls and options for preventing the discharge of sewage into the river. Land ownership.

Detailed survey of the physical features. Cross section of the riverbed at every 100 m interval. Longitudinal sections of the riverbed at every 30 m interval along the cross section line. Physical features of all bridges. Alignment, pier position, RL of bridge tops. Vasna Barrage : RL of top of the walkway and spillway. Gate positions Location of storm water outlets along both the banks with size and invert levels. Detailed survey of adjoining areas..

Analysis of river hydraulics. The objective of the river hydraulic study was to ensure for: Narrowing of the water way does not in any way rise the HFL beyond expected in the natural condition. Construction of retaining wall and embankment Scouring of riverbed Analysis for stability of existing bridges.

Land use of reclaimed land.. Commercial Development Residential Development Parks / Gardens / Urban Forest Roads and Promenades Informal Markets Housing for Slum relocation Recreational Development Heritage park Public Utilities.

Survey and analysis of river bank slums. Data collected with other information for the slum located on; On the riverbed Slope of the riverbed and on the adjacent land On the adjacent land Project affected economic activities: Laundering Informal markets Sand collection Cultivation (during dry season) Dyeing.

Storm water outfalls and options for preventing the discharge of sewage into the river.

Land Ownership. Gujarat State Government was approached to vests the reclaimed land to AMC for SRFD Project purpose. The Government has transferred the land other than the land to be used for commercial purpose to AMC for SRFDCL at token rate. The commercial land to be transferred at the 50% rate as decided by the district valuation committee..

LAND VALUE. Out of total requirement of 455 ha of land, 161.79 ha of land transferred by GoG for Phase 1 of the project.
