KARNATAKA (Metro Rail News): The Karnataka Government has given prior permission to the Namma Metro Phase III plan in Bangalore. The total length is almost 45 kilometres; corridor one will be roughly 32 km long, with 22 stations along the route, while Corridor 2 will be 12.5 km long, with nine stops.

Twenty-two stations will be located along Corridor 1, including Kempapura, JP Nagar phase IV, Kadirenahalli, Kamakhya Junction, Hosakerehalli, Dwaraka Nagar, Mysuru Road, Nagarbhavi Circle, Vinayaka Layout, Freedom Fighter’s colony, Sumanahalli Cross, Chowdeshwari Nagar, B.E.L. Circle, Nagashettyhalli, Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Complex, JP Nagar phase V, JP Nagar, Papireddypalya, Kanteerava Nagar, Peenya, Muthyala Nagar, Hebbal Railway Station, and Kempapura.

Hosahalli, KHB Colony, Kamakshipalya, Sumanahalli Cross, Sunkadakatte, Herohalli, Byadarahalli, Kamath Layout, and Kadabagere are the nine stations that will make up Corridor 2.

The 11 interchange stations along both corridors will be linked to local bus, rail, and suburban railway stations for seamless connectivity. JP Nagar Phase IV, JP Nagar, Kamakhya Junction, Mysuru Road, Sumanahalli Cross, Peenya, BEL Circle, Hebbal Railway Station, and Kempapura are the nine interchange stations on ORR West. In addition, Hosahalli and Sumanahalli Cross are two interchange stations along the length of Magadi Road.

By 2028, the ORR West corridor is forecast to have roughly 4.6 lakh riders, compared to an estimated 1.7 lakh for the Magadi Road corridor. An estimated Rs 16,430 crore will be needed to complete the project. Since both corridors share Sunkadakatte, it will act as the depot.

The SPV (JV) model is used to carry out the project. The Karnataka and Indian governments each contribute 20% of the money, with the remaining 60% coming from other sources. Value-capture finance and creative financing through private engagement will also be promoted as part of the financing strategy.

The Karnataka government has also suggested two double-decker flyovers, one at Kamakhya Metro Station and the other at JP Nagar Metro Station. Each would be 1.5 kilometres long. The integrated structures (Flyover at level 1 and Metro at level 2), whose construction is expected to cost just over Rs 507 crore, will be built by BMRCL, with costs shared in a 3:1 ratio between BMRCL and BBMP.

CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): CMRL has ventured into extensive infrastructure development in the city comprising three more metro rail corridors for a total length of 118.9 km & 128 no’s of stations being funded by several multi-national funding agencies, including the JICA, ADB and AIIB.

The first TBM tunnel drive in Phase II has already commenced, and CMRL has undertaken several safety measures in TBM tunnelling to ensure the public’s safety. Thiru. T. Archunan, Director(Projects), has said, “Several safety measures are being undertaken during the tunnel drive as there are various parameters to be monitored while the TBM is being operated like water pressure adjustment considering the water table in the area, even the slightest modification will impact the roads on the Surface and nearby buildings. Hence its most crucial that we monitor every 50m to ensure smooth and safe working space in the area without creating impact.”
Safety Preventive measures in TBM Tunnelling
Ground Monitoring instruments are installed in-ground Surface above the tunnel alignment.
Structural monitoring instruments are installed in the buildings above the tunnel influence zone.
The instrument readings are recorded daily during TBM Tunnelling.
The Surface monitoring team ensures ground distortion observation during tunnelling.

Existing building surveys, including Structural & Plastering cracks, are recorded and acknowledged by residents.
The building cracks that are found widen after the TBM crossing are entirely repaired.
All bore wells/Open wells in the influence zone properties are considered for Temporary/Permanent plugging.
Permanently plugged bore wells are provided with alternate bore wells.

Open wells must be closed and provided with alternate bore wells.
Bore wells which are plugged temporarily during TBM pass-through, adequate water supply is ensured for the residents.
In case buildings are listed as unsafe, evacuation of occupants is ensured with alternate accommodation for two months or as required.
In the event of any old-age building being structurally unsafe after tunnelling, new
construction will be considered.

CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Chennai Metro Rail Limited has commenced the expansion of Chennai city’s metro rail network as a part of Phase II after the successful completion of Phase I and Phase I Extension Corridors in stages since June 2015 and the growing ridership in Corridors 1&2.
Now, CMRL has ventured into extensive infrastructure development in the city, comprising three more metro rail corridors for a total length of 118.9 km & 128 nos of stations being funded by several multi-national funding agencies, including the JICA, ADB and AIIB.
The Salient & Unique features of Phase II
Elevated Section
CMRL will have a Double-decker line & station standing in a single pillar for a stretch of about 5 km. The double-decker stretch will have four stations developed at two levels; Alwarthirunagar, Valasaravakkam, Karambakkam and Alapakkam will have a common concourse (ticketing level) with two different platforms. To execute the same, a special Launching Girder is fabricated and ready for use.
Many Balanced Cantilever method spans are adopted as great spans to suit the site conditions. Out of all, the most challenging location is Kathipara Junction. 5 spans continuous BCM (1 x 58m + 3 x 100m + 1 x 95m) with a 125m radius curve. Integrating with State Highway flyover at Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur, Kattupakkam, Majambakkam & MIOT flyover location.
Underground Section
Stacked station: CMRL has planned to go with underground stations with a stacked-up platform design at locations where the width of the roads is as narrow as 10m. Pattalam, Thirumayilai, Kutchery, Alwarpet, and Bhardhidhasan road stations have staked tunnels.
Intersection of Tunnel: At Kilpauk, Thousand light and Nandanam, Phase II tunnels pass below the Phase I running tunnels. More challenging to execute the same.
Crossing of Adyar River: Corridor 3 crosses Adyar River near Adyar Junction (UG). The Crown of the Tunnel is 7 m below the bed level.
Multi-Modal Integration will integrate the Phase-II Network with other public transport modes, namely Suburban Rail, MRTS, City Bus Service, etc., at 21 different locations to ensure hassle-free and seamless connectivity.
