CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has begun turning off it’s air-conditioning (ACs) to reduce water consumption. The CMRL has resorted to the extreme measure as summer temperatures have been soaring across the state and the water levels in the four lakes in Chennai’s periphery have recorded one of the lowest in 70 years.

The CMRL has resorted to turning off the air-conditioning during non-peak hours between noon and 5 pm. The Chennai Metro, a 45-km long commute around the city, reportedly guzzles 9,000 litres of water daily with nearly 80% of that going towards operating the air-conditioning system.

CMRL officials said that We switch on the AC system once in an hour to make sure we maintain 26 deg C at both platform and concourse levels. By switching off, we are able to save around 30% of water at every station. We ensure temperatures of 25 to 26 deg C is maintained in the trains. Every coach has two 41KV AC units. Our units in trains have been working efficiently and have so far not reported any failure.

The moves may help save water, the report also states that passengers have been inconvenienced due to it. It may be noted that unlike other modes of public transportation available in the city Chennai metro and buses, a huge part of the Chennai Metro’s appeal to commuters is the air-conditioning.

Worsening the water crisis across the city, close to 5,000 private water tankers that supply water to Chennai from Chennai, Thiruvallur and Kancheepuram districts threatened to go on strike beginning May 27, following a crackdown by the government on ‘illegal’ drawing of water. While the Tamil Nadu Private Water Tanker Lorry Owners’ Association temporarily called off the strike, the move prompted over 100 residents’ association across Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) to write to the Chief Minister, seeking his intervention to address the water crisis.

Senior citizens demand a bridge to link Aqua with Blue lines

Narendra Shah

27/05/2019

Citing the hardships faced by commuters, senior citizens have demanded a bridge that will connect sector-51 station of Noida Metro’s Aqua line with the nearby Delhi Metro Blue line.

200 M Walk

Currently, passengers have to exit at Sector 51 station and walk nearly 200 metres on an under-construction road to take the Blue line at Sector 52 station. The 29.7-km Aqua line runs between Sector 51 and Depot stations.

“What is more painful is that commuters need to get themselves frisked again to board the Blue Line, thus consuming a lot of time,” said a senior citizen and He demanded that the Noida Metro Rail Corporation consider building a bridge to connect the two stations.

further, he said that I do not understand why the Noida Metro Rail Corporation is causing such big trouble to senior citizens and women travelling with children to walk on a road to board the Blue Line. They must build a bridge as early as possible. he has given a suggestion in this regard officially to the Noida Metro authority.

People can take e-rickshaws, run by Noida rail corporation at free of cost, at Sector 51 to go to the Blue Line station but during the peak hours or late in the night the e-rickshaws are unavailable. Moreover, the road on which the e-rickshaws ply, is filled with dust as construction is underway.

1. Brief us about you and your current roles and responsibilities in your company?.

Mr. Keun Young Kim: India is one of the most potential countries in Asia, and I think it is a very important project for India to build a railway infrastructure that connects the vast land. South Korea also hopes to play a role in introducing the Korean own technology to India’s railway construction projects, as it has been accumulating much effort and technology in building the national infrastructure for years.

3. Provide some insight about on current ongoing innovation for Metro Rail

Mr. Keun Young Kim: In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, I believe that all mechanical means are also bound to develop in tandem with the electronic industry and that the system of controlling and managing them, although industrial classifications call it the railway industry, is based on the ICT industry. As a result, we believe that convergence should be carried out in conjunction with flexible ICT-based systems early in infrastructure deployment, and that overall planning and design is critical.

4. Who is your local partner in India and why you select?

He is a man who always respects everyone and has a humble character, but who is second to none in professional opinion.

5. What kind of solution you are offering for the metro project?

Mr. Keun Young Kim: In the hyper-connected era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution we now face, the most important part is the operating system that can successfully manage railway projects and the importance of system security to them will be greater. We have worked and prepared to complete industrial approaches to these areas, and we hope to provide related solutions.

6. Please explain super concrete?

Mr. Keun Young Kim, Chairman AH group & WTIA with Mrs. Priyanka Sahu, Director (BD), Metro Rail News

Mr. Keun Young Kim Super Concrete is one of the projects developed by Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) to develop new materials for dry run as part of a national technology development project. As the research and development has been conducted at a national level, it has the advantage of being able to finish with higher strength and liquid type than conventional concrete. Currently, it has attempted to apply to the construction of bridges, residential and commercial spaces and abroad construction projects, and is still trying to secure more architectural cases.
