MTHL: It's not just a bridge, it's a game-changer 🚀.   The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) 🌉 is now open to traffic and is expected to transform transportation in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This sea bridge is the longest in India, stretching over 21.8 kilometers, with over 16 kilometers running across the sea. It connects South Mumbai with Navi Mumbai, reducing the travel time from two hours to just 20 minutes.🌍🕒   Beyond the convenience, MTHL is a vital link to Nhava Sheva Port, the Mumbai-Goa Highway, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. The bridge is expected to boost the economic activity in the entire region.   COWI acted as a consultant to the Construction Joint Venture🤝comprising of Larsen & Toubro from India and IHI Corporation from Japan. COWI's responsibilities included the tender and detailed design for over 10 kilometers of the bridge, including the complex interchange at Sewri. The marine bridge consists of four major steel bridges with orthotropic steel decks. These steel bridges have spans that reach up to 180 meters and have a total length of 2.3 kilometers. Furthermore, there are precast concrete segmental bridges with spans of 60 meters and a total length of 7.5 kilometers.   "We are thrilled to have successfully delivered this significant bridge project, showcasing our expertise and commitment sustainability and innovation. With over 100 highly skilled engineers and BIM specialists, COWI has implemented solutions that will benefit both the project and society as a whole," states Henrik Andersen, Senior Director at COWI.   Our contribution to this project is based on a commitment to sustainability in structural design 💚 We selected the most efficient design to save materials and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 30% for the viaduct foundation and substructure.    #MTHL #engineeringexcellence #structuraldesign #sustainabledesign Pic credit: Larsen & Toubro Read more about this remarkable project here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d7JsvWW6

This innovative two-level design is being considered due to the narrow road, the presence of underground and overhead utilities on both sides, and a significant religious structure along the route. National Highways authorities are currently working on a long flyover at Gangaram, and Metro Rail authorities are evaluating the feasibility of a joint construction for a double-decker flyover-cum-Metro viaduct for this stretch. The proposed Metro viaduct will primarily run along the central median of the NH, except at BHEL Junction. Here, the Metro alignment will divert to the left side of the under-construction flyover, integrating the proposed BHEL Metro station with the TGSRTC bus stop. Recently, Hyderabad Airport Metro Ltd. (HAML) Managing Director NVS Reddy, along with the HAML engineering team and SYSTRA engineering experts, inspected the Miyapur-Patancheru and LB Nagar-Hayatnagar Metro Phase-II corridors, as well as the Mailardevpally-Aramghar-New High Court spur line. These corridors are located on national highways and pose engineering challenges due to existing and under-construction flyovers. #hyderabad #telangana #updates #latestupdateshyderabad

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is a crucial urban planning tool used in India, as well as in many other countries, to regulate the density of construction on a particular plot of land. In India, FAR is defined as the ratio of the total built-up area (including all floors) to the total plot area. For example, if the FAR for a particular area is 2, it means that the total built-up area on a plot of land cannot exceed twice the size of the plot area. So, if the plot area is 100 square meters, the total built-up area (sum of all floors) cannot exceed 200 square meters. In some cases, FAR may be modified or adjusted based on factors such as road width, infrastructure availability, environmental concerns, and zoning regulations. Developers and architects must adhere to FAR guidelines when designing and constructing buildings to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.

A 14-storey under-construction metal parking lot collapsed, as shown in the video. Several people were wounded, and over 30-50 cars were damaged due to the collapse of the metal structure. #civilengineering #structuralengineering #structuraldesing #steeldesing

Viaducts and Bridges play a pivotal role in transportation infrastructure, serving as critical links between regions and accommodating various modes of transportation, including High-Speed rail (HSR), Railways, Metros, and Highways. The design and construction of bridges for HSR projects differ significantly from other modes of transport. Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) is a transformative infrastructure initiative in India that aims to revolutionize the country's transportation landscape. MAHSR covers a distance of approximately 508 KM and will traverse through the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat with a design speed of 350 kmph. Design concepts for structures in MAHSR project are mostly based on Japanese Railway Standards and Guidelines which is a proven technology for Shinkansen High Speed Railway network in Japan. In this paper, one of the unique requirements of MAHSR project i.e., ‘Articulation of Prestressed Concrete (PSC) Box Girder Bridges’ is covered. This paper aims to provide information on bearings and stoppers for MAHSR viaducts and bridges and comparison with conventional system. The paper also touches upon the seismic force assessment for the project. D. P. Singh Rahul Kalra Read more here https://lnkd.in/gUJMVP6b
