Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This standard lays the guidelines for the provision of various facilities such as lighting, ventilation, water supply, etc. inside dams to achieve maximum productivity coupled with a high standard of safety and welfare. Proper lighting inside dams is essential for creating a good visual environment and for permitting a high degree of efficiency in seeing whatever equipment/machinery is of special importance. Lighting is considered good when it is suitable both in quality and quantity.
2 To cater to the requirement of fresh air inside the dam galleries which are not normally connected to the outside atmosphere, the provision of a good ventilation system to ensure the required number of air changes is essential. The other facilities recommended in this standard for provision inside dams include water supply, compressed air supply, drainage system, firefighting system, communication system, elevators, entrance doors, and first-aid. The first revision of the standard has been taken after the wide field experience and international practices updating the references. The provision of LED lamps has been recommended for more efficient lighting and the provision of galvanized iron pipeline for drinking water supply has been deleted.
