KEC Awarded Delhi Metro Pink Line’s DE-14 Electrification Contract

DELHI, INDIA (Metro rail News): KEC International was granted an Rs. 68.98 crore contract for the Delhi Metro Line-7 extension’s 25 kV overhead equipment and 33 kV auxiliary power supply system (Package DE-14) in mid-October.

The scope of this Phase 4 project’s package also includes electrical augmentation works at Mukundpur Depot and electrifying the 12.098 km Maujpur – Majlis Park segment. In addition, the train repair facility is being renovated to boost capacity for the Pink Line and serve the future trains of the Magenta Line.

In mid-March, DMRC issued a request for tenders (bids) for this package, which has an estimated cost of Rs. 79.52 crore and a completion deadline of 540 days (1.5 years).

In June, technical bids were opened, revealing eight bidders. Unfortunately, Alstom’s technical proposal was unexpectedly rejected, while Kalpataru, Ojasync, and Texmaco Rail & Engineering’s EMD/Fee were not correctly submitted.

Design, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of 25 kV Overhead Equipment (OHE), 33 kV Auxiliary Power Supply for an elevated section of Line-7 Ext. (Maujpur to Majlispark) And Augmentation works of Mukundpur depot of Delhi Metro MRTS Phase-IV are some of the brief scopes.

As part of the Longjian – KEC Joint Venture for DC-02, civil construction for this leg of the 65.1 km Phase 4 project is also ongoing. At Yamuna Vihar, Bhajanpura, Khajuri Khas, Sonia Vihar, Wazirabad Surghat, Jagatpur Village, Jharoda Majra, and Burari, there will be eight stations.

DE-14 is Line-7’s second major electrification project. Sudhir Power was awarded Package DE-01 in March for its electrical and mechanical work.

Bangalore Metro’s TBM Rudra Makes Breakthrough at Dairy Circle

BANGALORE, INDIA (Metro Rail News): Afcons Infrastructure’s TBM S-1259 also made a breakthrough at Dairy Circle Station on Bangalore Metro’s 21.386 km Pink Line, which would connect Nagawara – Kalena Agrahara through 18 stops.

TBM S-1259, dubbed Rudra, made the first of three breakthroughs for the 3.655 km Package RT-01 (Rashtriya Military School Station – Dairy Circle Ramp) of the 73.92 km Bangalore Metro Phase 2 project, and Afcons made the second of eight breakthroughs. Overall, this is the project’s fourth breakthrough out of a total of 26 scheduled for Phase 2.

This Herrenknecht slurry machine was launched on April 23 from Dairy Circle’s South Ramp and went 614 metres to pierce the diaphragm wall of Dairy Circle Station. The station’s box is still being excavated. Therefore the breakthrough was “hidden” and unnoticed by construction personnel.

Similar “secret” TBM breakthroughs have been made by Afcons Infrastructure in Chennai Metro’s Sir Theagaraya College Station (By S-711 and 219-364), TBM S-639 at Howrah Station & Mahakaran Station, and TBM S-616 at Bowbazar Shaft lately.

Rudra will now begin creating rings for the up-line tunnel under Dairy Circle Station’s box to Lakkasandra Station, a distance of 747.338 metres that Afcons aims to finish in 243 days, according to the tunnelling plan. Those rings will be dismantled during the excavation of Dairy Circle Station.

Rudra’s final task is to construct a 714.510-meter tunnel leading to Langford Town Station, which Afcons intends to finish in 157 days. According to BMRCL’s October newsletter, Afcons’ third machine, Vamika (S-1260), has manufactured 187 rings on the down-line (261.80m or 42.7 per cent). If and when the most recent figures are released, I’ll update this area.

CM Yogi gave the green signal to the trial run of Kanpur Metro

KANPUR, INDIA (Metro Rail News): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath embarked on a day-long visit to Kanpur today and flag off the trial run of Kanpur Metro. The UP government initiated the construction work of the Kanpur Metro Rail Project on 15th November 2019.

The CM press the button for the trials of the Metro train, which establish seamless connectivity and ease vehicular congestion across the city and give a significant boost to the region’s development. During the trial run, he will also inspect the facilities available in the metro coaches and the arrangements for the platforms.

The trial run will be completed in the next six weeks, and the people of Kanpur will get this facility from the hands of PM Narendra Modi. Hearty congratulations to the entire team of Metro; many thanks to the Government of India. Let us tell you that after Noida, Ghaziabad and Lucknow, Kanpur will become the fourth metro city of UP, said Yogi Adityanath, CM, UP.

The trial run of Kanpur Metro was scheduled later in November but has been preponed. The services of Kanpur Metro are expected to be opened for the public on 31st December 2021.

Two metro corridors of about 32.5 km long are proposed under the Kanpur Metro project. In the first phase, Metro will run on the nine-kilometer priority corridor. Nine Metro stations have been constructed so far. The second phase of Metro work will be carried out between MotiJheel and Transport Nagar, for which underground stations will be constructed. The trials would be carried out under the Research Design and Standards Organization (RDSO).

As per plans, on becoming fully operational, six Metro trains will run on the priority corridor between IIT and MotiJheel and two trains will remain parked in the depot as a reserve. As a result, six more trains will arrive in the city when the commercial operations are launched.

The Kanpur Metro will be equipped with regenerative braking technology. Through this, energy will be saved up to 35 per cent. For example, if 1000 units of electricity are spent in train operation, the trains will generate about 350 units again through regenerative braking.

The elevators installed in the stations and depots will also save energy by regenerative braking technology. These will have an energy efficiency of up to 37 per cent. For conservation of energy and electricity, the metro premises have also been equipped with LED lights.

Besides, a plan has been formulated to install solar panels at metro depots and stations.

For the first time in India, Kanpur Metro will come with a Third Rail DC Traction System. The special inverter will enable the energy generated by the brakes in the train to be used back in the system. As of now, no such arrangement has been implemented in any metro rail project in the country. As a result, the train is also exceptional in protecting the environment and safety management.
