Sewage Treatment Plants in New Panvel, Panvel.

A redeveloped New Panvel building carries two or three times the households of the one it replaced, and it often comes with a duty to clean and reuse its own wastewater. The plant has to go somewhere on a plot that was never planned for one, usually under the stilt floor or a driveway. We design for the flats likely to be occupied in the first years as well as at full count, keep the blowers away from bedroom windows, and plumb treated water to flushing so it is used from day one.

New Panvel is the CIDCO node laid out beside the old market town, across the railway station from its bazaar lanes. It was planned in numbered sectors of housing-society buildings, row houses and schools, with markets at the sector centres and a grid of internal roads. For years it grew slowly and stayed low. That has changed with the airport and the new approach roads: older plots are being redeveloped into taller buildings, and open land at its edges is taken up by residential layouts. Most of its people commute, by rail or road, to jobs elsewhere in the region.
