The Uttar Pradesh Tube Well aims to provide safe and adequate drinking water to rural households in India through 1.7 million household connections serving 6.8 million people. L&T Construction was tasked with designing and executing over 3,000 overhead tanks across scattered rural villages in a limited timeframe. To evaluate and determine an optimal construction method, L&T Construction needed an integrated BIM, structural, and hydraulic modeling solution.

Utilizing 3D BIM technology with STAAD and OpenFlows, L&T Construction designed the distribution network and decided to use the precast method of construction for better quality control and risk management, compared to traditional onsite concrete pouring. Through digital modeling and analysis, the team streamlined and standardized design workflows and drawings for 600 design variants and saved 90% in construction time. L&T Construction also reduced material waste and energy consumption, minimizing the project’s environmental footprint. The project sets a benchmark for digitization of future rural infrastructure projects
