Kollengode 3

There is a Brick Kiln, about a KM down the road from Ambalam stop, which is about a KM from  Kollengode town. The site is 300 cents and cost is 3900000 INR working out to 13000 INR. There is acess by Tar Road up till the site. The type of land is fallow grass land with a stream on one side; and the earth excavation pit that is present can be made into a pool.


The path inside the site just at the entrance, with the high voltage transmission wires cutting right through the middle of the site above is a serious setback
A row of Hut units is the accommodation for the brick kiln workers
The brick kiln occupies the center of the site as does the high voltage lines above
Road inside the site with the Annamalai foothills in view
Rain water pond and the trees in the background forming part of the site
Excavated area which is part of the site, could form a large pool
View of the Anamallai foothills from the excavated area. Every point in the site has good view of these hills.
The hut, the kiln, the tower, and the hills as seen from the excavated spot


This place is 80 KMs from Coimbatore Airport and over 120 KMs from Cochin Airport. There is good view of the Western Ghats. However, there are High Voltage Electric Transmission Lines overhead cutting right over the middle of the site. Ground water depth is around 20 feet with plenty of surface water. Syed Meera from Vadakanchery, & Mani of Kollengode are the agents This place is too far from airport & hospital. Also the loud hum from the Transmission lines, and carcinogenic effect of living under the high voltage lines goes against this site. A big NO!
