In 1997, the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) commissioned EPC to prepare a comprehensive feasibility study to develop a 9 km stretch of the city’s riverfront. EPC provided development management services to SRFDCL until 2002. During this period its mandate was to direct and monitor all the preparatory work. Since then HCPDPM has been responsible for the project’s architectural, urban and structural design. The riverfront project is a comprehensive environmental improvement project which involves river training, constructing retaining walls, providing storm water outfalls, ghats and jetties, reclaiming 162 hectares of land, providing interceptor sewers, creating parks and gardens, designing new streets & promenades with better street lighting, providing housing for economically weaker sections and informal markets and constructing utility buildings & structures.
