Visit to Peechi Dam

Our department organised a one day visit to Peechi Dam, Thrissur, Kerala, for the S5 Civil Engineering students on 14 September 2026, providing an opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world engineering practices. 

The visit aimed to familiarize students with dam infrastructure, water resource management, and the practical aspects of hydraulic engineering. Students gained insights into the functioning and significance of dams in water storage, irrigation, and sustainable water resource management. 

The visit also helped students appreciate the engineering principles involved in dam construction, operation, and maintenance. They also got to visit the infiltration gallery which gave them an opportunity to see and understand the instrumentation and sensors used for monitoring and maintenance of dam structure.

The visit served as a valuable learning experience, strengthening students’ understanding of water resources engineering and highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure in addressing present and future water management challenges.
