Check Dam Construction

UCE Water Conservation Infrastructure

Check dam construction helps store rainwater, recharge groundwater, and support irrigation through small barrier structures built across streams or drainage lines. UCE provides durable, engineering-tested check dams using RCC, stone masonry, and earthwork for long-term water conservation.

Water scarcity affects agriculture, rural livelihood, and community development. A check dam is one of the most effective and proven water conservation structures — it slows down water flow, stores runoff, and naturally recharges groundwater levels.

Universal Cargo & Equipments (UCE) specializes in check dam construction using RCC, stone masonry, and scientifically designed spillways. With 16+ years of experience in rural infrastructure, watershed work, irrigation, and public development projects, UCE builds check dams that withstand seasonal floods, prevent soil erosion, and provide sustainable water storage.

A well-built check dam creates a year-round water source and enhances agricultural productivity for entire communities.
