Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor Witnesses First Tunnel Breakthrough in Meerut
Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor Witnesses First Tunnel Breakthrough in Meerut

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor of India’s first RRTS witnessed the first tunnel breakthrough in Meerut on 22nd October 2022. Sudarshan 8.3 (TBM) made a breakthrough from the tunnel at the Begumpul RRTS station.

Mr Vinay Kumar Singh, MD, NCRTC, initiated the breakthrough by pressing a remote button in presence of the Directors and other senior officials of NCRTC. The Sudarshan 8.3, Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), was lowered at the launching shaft constructed at Gandhi Park and will now be retrieved from the Begumpul RRTS station. This has been achieved within 4 months after completing the boring and formation of a 750 m-long tunnel.

This is the first drive of tunnelling completed by Sudarshan 8.3. The same TBM will also construct the parallel tunnel. Hence, the TBM will be dismantled in the shaft and its cutter head and shield will be brought back to the launching shaft at Gandhi Park on trailers. The backup gantry or the rest of the parts of the TBM will be sent back from the tunnel itself. Once it reaches the launching shaft, it will then be re-launched.

Meanwhile, two other Sudarshan, 8.1 and 8.2, are boring 1.8 km long parallel tunnels from Bhaisali to Football Chawk.

Begumpul RRTS station is being constructed through a Top-Down technique, in which the station is built from top to bottom along with deep excavations. This station has three levels: mezzanine, concourse, and platform level. The Mezzanine and concourse level of this station have been completed and the construction of the platform level is being carried out at present.

To construct this 750 m-long tunnel, over 3500 pre-casted segments have been used. In the tunnelling process, these segments are inserted and seven segments are combined to make one ring. Each segment is 1.5 m long and 275 mm thick. These segments and rings are connected with the help of bolts. The Tunnel Segments are being cast at NCRTC’s Casting Yard in Shatabdi Nagar with assured quality control. Pre-casting helps in the safe and fast execution of the works while ensuring good quality control, minimizing inconvenience to the road users, local passers-by, business owners and residents along the entire stretch, and reduction in air pollution & noise pollution.

Due to the bigger rolling stock and a high design speed of 180 kmph, the diameter of the RRTS tunnels being constructed is 6.5 m. Compared to the metro systems, this is for the first time that a tunnel of such a large size is being constructed in the country.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Vinay Kumar Singh, Managing Director, NCRTC said, “First Breakthrough of Sudarshan 8.3 is a significant milestone in the implementation of the RRTS project. Constructing such a mega infrastructure project in a historical and congested city like Meerut is a huge challenge and involves complex logistics management. Tunnelling under the existing city is a hazardous activity and requires meticulous planning. It is through the support of officials of the Government of UP and the perseverance and hard work of Team NCRTC, General Consultants, Designers, and our contractors that this enormous project is being implemented at a fast pace without much inconvenience to people of Meerut. I compliment all the committed Engineers and workers who have made this possible.”

The project is being implemented as per the scheduled timeline. To expedite the process, parallel construction was being carried out, where on one hand, the launching shaft was being constructed; on the other, segments of the ring were being pre-casted in the casting yard. Also at the same time, FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) checking of TBM was being done and parts of this technologically advanced machine were being brought to the site. It is due to the far-sightedness and premeditated efforts that the project is coming along in a timely manner, despite two waves of the pandemic.

Meerut Central, Bhaisali, and Begumpul are the underground stations in Meerut, out of which Meerut Central and Bhaisali are the Meerut Metro Stations whereas Begumpul Station will serve as both RRTS and Metro. NCRTC is going to provide local transit services, Meerut Metro, on the RRTS network itself in Meerut with 13 stations in the span of 21 km for local transit needs.

BANGALORE (Metro Rail News): The first trial run of a six-coach train between Whitefield Depot and Pattandur Agrahara (ITPL) Station was successfully completed on 21st October. The start of the trial is very important because it is 3.5-km long, which includes four stops, and is a component of Bengaluru Metro’s Phase- II of the Baiyappanahalli-Whitefield line. Employees of IT companies have been anxiously awaiting its launch for years.

50 individuals, including employees of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML), which provided BMRCL with the new coaches boarded the train.

“We began the trial run at 12.20pm from Whitefield depot and ended it at 1.40pm, running at a speed of 15km per hour. It was a smooth ride, the track was done well and we had no issues,” said BMRCL MD Anjum Parwez, travelling on the debut run with N M Dhoke, Director of Rolling Stock, Electrical and Operations & Maintenance, and Jitendra Jha, Project Manager, Rolling Stock.

Parwez said, “The full train was dragged for a distance of 100 metres from the starting point of the depot on a massive trailer as the third rail (750V power line) is located a bit far for safety reasons. The train took the upward ramp from the depot to Whitefield station. We crossed Channasandra and Kadugodi stations before terminating at ITPL.

Parwez said the trials will gradually touch Garudacharpalya, and will be over by February 2023, after which the CMRS processes will be done. “We will then discuss with the government and take a call on whether this stretch alone can be made operational or we will launch the entire line. Simultaneously, work on the pending portion from K R Puram to Baiyappanahalli will be done,” he said.

Delhi Meerut RRTS Train
Delhi Meerut RRTS Train/ Representational Image

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): The first of eight planned regional rapid rail corridors in the capital region will connect Delhi to key cities and sub-urban areas in the surrounding states – Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The Alstom technologies implemented in this project will cut down the commute time to half and change the lives of millions in the National capital region.

In early 2023, Alstom’s first semi-high-speed rapid rail transit system, which is a first-of-its-kind worldwide in digitalization and automation technologies, is set to be operational. It will connect Sahibabad and Duhai, the priority section of India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) line, Delhi- Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor.

The RRTS project aims to address social and economic issues and promote balanced and sustainable economic development in the National Capital Region. This corridor will eventually reduce the journey time between Delhi and Meerut to less than 60 minutes, compared to the current 90-120 minutes. The train will have a maximum speed of 180 kmph, and it will run in ~5-10-minute intervals. With 3-6 cars, each allowing for more than 200standing and sitting passengers, this line will deliver enormous passenger capacity that will transform the region. This is what National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) and Alstom are set to achieve starting early next year.

Meeting people is an essential part of life, for business or pleasure, as part of our education or on holiday, getting together for a special moment with friends or family. Travel time is a necessity we all endure and do our best to minimize, as it takes valuable hours that we could have spent earning a living, improving ourselves, or most importantly, with our close community and loved ones.

Thameem Kamaldeen is the Managing Director of Alstom’s Signalling business in the India Cluster. In his current role, he oversees critical business functions such as P&L management of the signalling business, project management, operations, product development, apart from ensuring overall operational excellence.

The first phase of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor will be operational early next year with 5 rail stations along the 20 km stretch between Delhi and Ghaziabad (Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai and Duhai Depot). The entire 82 km corridor will eventually include 25 stations of semi-highspeed rail (RRTS) and metro service (MRTS). It will have elevated as well as underground stations and connect several areas in the urban center of Delhi to stations in Ghaziabad and Meerut. All of this is intended to be fully operation in 2024.

This project will not only improve the lives of tens of millions but also become a worldwide reference as Alstom premieres implementation of state-of-the-art advanced systems and innovative technologies. This solution will redefine the future of mainline and metro railways through digitalisation and automation.

The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Corridor operates on Alstom’s ETCS Level 3 Hybrid system and includes two contingency degraded modes, ETCS Level 1 and Interlocking mechanisms. The system incorporates Automatic Train Operation (ATO) over Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio, both are integrated with ETCS for the first time. To provide utmost safety to passengers, a Platform Screen Door (PSD), requiring a stopping accuracy of 30 cm, has been incorporated for the first time with the ETCS solution. This will make RRTS one of the most advanced signalling and train control systems in the world.

It also has a salient feature – its interoperability that will facilitate seamless commuter movement across corridors, without the hassle of changing trains. This ETCS signalling system will be a key enabler in ensuring interoperability and train movement at quick frequencies.
