New Delhi: The Erection of First Girder was successfully done on the Dilshad Garden – New Bus Adda (Ghaziabad) Metro section past night i.e, on 27th/28th December 2015 in a well planned launching operation before upcoming Shahid Nagar Station at Pier P1- 18 and 19.

The entire process of installation of this Girder was carried out during night hours to avoid traffic disruption/inconvenience to the travelling public on the busy G T Karnal road. DMRC deployed adequate number of traffic marshals to guide/divert moving traffic along the stretch. Coordination was done with local traffic police also to ensure smooth and timely erection of the Girder so that the stretch is free from any obstruction during day time and traffic flows as usual.

This was first of the 704 girders which will be erected on the Dilshad Garden – New Bus Adda (Ghaziabad) Metro extension, a 9.60 kilometre long elevated section comprising of eight stations. About 80% of these girders will be erected during night time only to avoid disruption of traffic on the busy G T road, in a well planned manner.

Girders are horizontal segments (having normal length 28 m) on which the Metro tracks are laid on elevated sections. These are precast at the casting yard and then transported at site for erection.

The civil work for the section has been awarded to a Joint Venture comprising of M/s Tata Project Limited and M/s GYT.

The Dilshad Garden – New Bus Adda Metro corridor will be an extension of the presently operational Rithala – Dilshad Garden (Red Line) section. This corridor is being constructed on the busy GT Road that connects Ghaziabad with the national capital.

This section will be Delhi Metro’s second extension inside Ghaziabad. The first one is the Yamuna Bank – Vaishali section (Line 4 – blue line) presently operates up to Vaishali in Ghaziabad.

For erecting a girder the number of preceding activities like survey, geotechnical investigation, detailed design ,setting up of casting yard (for producing concrete and casting of girders & Pier caps) , pile foundations , pile cap, pier, erection of pier caps, stitching of pier cap,  pedestal & bearing fixing need to be completed. The work on Dilshad Garden – New Bus Adda Metro corridor is expected to be completed by October 2017.

Delhi Metro| Phase-IV plan hits roadblock as project report gets caught up in political wrangling

By
Narendra Shah

New Delhi: The proposed phase-IV of the Delhi Metro appears to have been stuck in political glitches even before ground could be broken on the ambitious project.

With a new government taking over in Delhi this year, the all-essential detailed project report (DPR) for the phase-IV project has been stuck for over one year.

Sources said it will take not less than three months for granting final approval to the DPR.

Notably, Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, on Wednesday, had stated in Parliament that the Delhi government had to decide on the phase-IV project as it was being delayed at its end.

As per the original plan, work on the project was likely to start in April 2016 and various sections could be opened in phases from March 2020.

The entire project was planned to be completed by 2021-end. Sources said once the DPR is approved, it will take at least six months to acquire land.

“The completion date is subject to acquisition of land required for the project within six months period from date of sanction of project,” the DPR said.

The phase-IV project, which aims to connect the interiors as well as the distant location on outskirts of Delhi and NCR, would add 103.93 km to its network of 330 km at the end of phase III.

The Delhi Metro, at present, is 190 km long and construction of 140 km in the ongoing phase III would increase its total length to 330 km.

As per the DPR, 67 new stations would come up on six new corridors proposed by the Delhi Metro.

The new corridors include Rithala – Narela (21.73 km), Janakpuri West – RK Ashram (28.92 km), Mukundpur – Maujpur (12.54 km), Inderlok – Indraprastha (12.58 km), Tughlakabad – Aerocity (20.20 km) and Lajpat Nagar – Saket GBlock (7.96 km).

Completion of the new corridors would bring remote locations like Narela, Maujpur, Madangir, Bawana, Barwala, Mukundpur, Najafgarh, Chhawla and Mahipalpur on the metro map.

Earlier, the Delhi Metro had made certain changes in the initial project layout following suggestions given by the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES), an engineering consultancy company.

The RITES had conducted a traffic survey and found that some changes in the plan would benefit more people. Completion of the phase-IV project would benefit nearly 60 lakh people daily.

The daily ridership on Delhi Metro at present is 26 lakh which is estimated to go up to 40 lakh on completion of phase III by the end of 2016.

The proposed corridors would link the existing routes of phase I, II and III through different routes and thus will reduce the travel time and expense.

The focus in the metro’s phase IV will be to connect areas that have not been linked with the Delhi Metro till phase III.

The Metro-2 and Metro-7 projects were launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the Mumbai last October. Running 16.5km long new line from Dahisar (East) to Andheri (East) will cost Rs.8100 Crore. Two new Metro lines that will be linked to the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar line and to a proposed integrated BEST bus service were approved by the state cabinet on Tuesday, with a March 2019 deadline.

Running 35.1-km long, the new lines — from Dahisar to DN Nagar (18.6km) and Dahisar East to Andheri East (16.5km) — will cost the state Rs.12,618 crore and are part of the recently revised master plan to have a 118-km-long Metro network across Mumbai.

The two lines will run parallel to the Western Express Highway between Dahisar and Andheri, and are aimed at providing greater connectivity to the western suburbs.

Unlike Mumbai’s first metro line that was built on the public-private-partnership model, these two lines will be built by the state’s Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) through loans (cash-contract basis).

Mumbai Metro| MMRDA, MMRC mull merging Metro corridors

Mumbai: Forget local trains, in the future you may be able to travel from Dahisar to Churchgate directly via Metro. The Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) and the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) are considering integrating (merging) the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro-3 corridor and the Dahisar (East) to Andheri (East) Metro-7 corridor by constructing a common passageway for both the lines at the proposed Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) Metro station.

“This means now if any given commuter is travelling from Dahisar and wants to travel up to Churchgate or Colaba, he or she may be able to take Metro-7 from Dahisar and get down at airport Metro station. The commuter can, after that, using the interchange passageway get into Metro-3 underground corridor between the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ, which is being implemented by the MMRC,” said an MMRDA official.

“The initial plan for Metro-7 was up to Andheri (East) a Metro station for Andheri (East) near the Andheri railway station and the Metro-3 was to end at Seepz, but now we are considering to construct a common integrated platform at airport Metro station which means extending the Metro-7 up to Mumbai airport,” added MMRDA official.

This comes after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), had earlier recommended to MMRDA in a detailed project report that Mumbai is the commercial capital of India with fast growth, especially in the suburbs. It therefore proposed to extend Metro-7 from Andheri (East) up to the Mumbai airport complex which will increase connectivity for commuters travelling from Dahisar to Colaba as the Metro-3 underground corridor constructed by MMRC will pass by the airport. DMRC is the interim consultant for the construction of Metro-7 corridor and the work will be executed by the MMRDA.

Meanwhile, Dilip Kawathkar, joint metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA, said, “We are considering the plan of integrating the Metro-7 and Metro-3 corridors by making the airport Metro station the interchange station.

It will help to decrease the traffic on roads in the city and also help the people who are currently travelling via local trains on from the western suburbs and travelling to South Mumbai.”

It is interesting to note that the airport Metro station is not the only planned interchange Metro station in the city. The DN Nagar Metro station of the Metro-1 corridor between Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) will act as an interchange Metro station after Metro-2 corridor between Dahisar and DN Nagar and the Metro-2B corridor between DN Nagar-Mankhurd are constructed. The DN Nagar-Mankhurd Metro corridor is a part of the Metro-2 (Dahisar-Charkop—Bandra-Mankhurd), which was earlier planned underground, but was later turned into an elevated corridor. The line was also divided into three parts namely Dahisar-DN Nagar, DN Nagar-BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex) and BKC-Mankhurd.
