CHALLENGES OF CONSTRUCTION in A&N ISLANDS

>

Islands arc scattered over 550 lems

>

Distance from main land - 1 200 kms

>

All construction material require

transportation from Main land

>

Jetties at Chowra, Tcrrcssa, Katchal &

Nancowry can not handle cargo ships.

23 out of 27 sites require transportation

through stevedoring

>

Stevedoring quite risky during rough

weather conditions.

>

Limited working season - 4-5 months

>

Sites scattered over large distances

without proper road connectivity
