GURUGRAM (Metro Rail News): The Gurugram Metro Project is going to progress as the construction of Phase 1 is scheduled to commence by mid-September.
Officials have confirmed the arrival of a critical machine, which is important for excavating the foundations of the metro pillars. The machine has been unloaded near the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) office in Sector 44, adjacent to the existing terminating pillars of the Yellow Line.
The machine can drill up to a depth of 180 meters and can complete a foundation in just 12 hours. The formal ground-breaking ceremony is anticipated to take place later this month, with Chief Minister Nayab Singh and Union Housing Minister Manohar Lal Khattar likely to be in attendance.
An official from the contractor said, “The piling rig will start operation once the Bhoomi poojan of the project is carried out by the Haryana government. We expect the work to start in the next 15 to 20 days. This piling rig can move on its own, and it has taken us seven days to bring this machine to Gurugram from Surat on a trailer,” an official of the contractor said as reported by Hindustan Times.
Furthermore, last month, Dilip Buildcon Limited (DBL) and Ranjit Buildcon Limited (RBL) received the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from GMRL for the civil construction contract of Phase 1. The contract was valued at ₹1,503.63 Crores and has a deadline of 30 months.
