KARACHI: New lines being laid without digging roads


KARACHI, June 12: The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board started using new technology for the first time to lay the water and sewerage lines without digging and damaging roads and streets in the city.

City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal inaugurated the system on Sunday night at FTC Flyover where a 450-foot-long 15-inch-dia was being laid to supply water to Chanesar Goth at the depth of eight feet without causing any damage to Sharea Faisal.

Mustafa Kamal said the use of this technology would greatly help avoid creating traffic mess at busy roads and areas of the city. “It would have taken at least three months to lay this water supply line by digging the road but it would take hardly eight hours to lay it through the new technology,” he said.

KWSB officials were also present on this occasion. –PPI
