Rail Vikas Nigam Limited’s Post

Utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) and Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), this 126-kilometer railway line will traverse through 17 tunnels and several bridges. It is projected to significantly improve connectivity and economic growth in Uttarakhand by 2025. Key Technical Achievements: The total tunnel length is approximately 105 km, accounting for nearly 85% of the route. TBMs 'Shiv' & 'Shakti' are critical to overcoming geological challenges, particularly in high seismic zones. The project is being managed by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), and once completed, it will provide faster travel and better access to the Char Dham pilgrimage sites. 🚄 Impact: Boosts tourism, enhances job creation, and strengthens regional connectivity. Supports local economies by improving access to remote areas and providing new employment opportunities. Reduces travel time between Rishikesh and Karnprayag to just under 5 hours, down from the current 12+ hours. The Rishikesh-Karnprayag Rail Project is a monumental infrastructure effort, bringing the promise of modernization and growth to the heart of Uttarakhand! #Innovation #Infrastructure #Tunneling #Engineering #RishikeshKarnprayag #Railway #Development #Uttarakhand #Connectivity #SustainableTourism #JobCreation #RVNL

Faced with challenges in the Rs 4,700 crore tender for the redevelopment of #NewDelhi Railway Station, #IndianRailways is considering breaking it into smaller bids to attract additional bidders and speed up the process. This strategic move aims to avoid delays in this important project. Also, the Railway Land Development Authority (#RLDA) issued a Rs 440 crore tender for a multi-modal transit hub in Paharganj, indicating a significant step in modernizing urban transportation. This approach not only improves bidder involvement but also speeds up project completion, with the potential to change India's #railwayinfrastructure and urban mobility. #IndianRailways #InfrastructureDevelopment #RailwayRedevelopment #UrbanPlanning 

Redevelopment of nilambur railway station

Welcome to the heart of #uttarakhand, India, where #MEIL teams are working on the monumental #CharDhamRailwayTunnel Project. This rail route passes through #Rudraprayag and #Karnaprayag, and here, our teams are carving a lifeline for the region, significantly cutting down travel time. Executing this project is no small feat, with unique weather conditions, challenging terrain, and a delicate landscape. The magnificent Himalayas, standing tall for over 20 million years, add to the complexity. To overcome these challenges, our teams adopted The #NewAustrianTunnellingMethod (NATM) for precision in tunnelling. On one side of our workspace is the scenic Ganga Valley, and on the other are picturesque hills. The tunnelling process involves heading, benching, steel rod reinforcement, and chemical treatment – laying the groundwork for the forthcoming train track. The Char Dham Railway Project spans 110 km, with our teams working on two crucial segments - 7B and 8 spanning 38 km, covering Rishikesh, Shivpuri, Devprayag, Srinagar, Gholtir, Gauchar, and Karnaprayag. Segment 7B features the construction of the 9.2-km-long Tunnel T-13, accompanied by an escape tunnel of equal length, with cross packages creating a structural ladder. Adit Tunnel 7 serves as the first access point, and the primary tunnel accommodates single to triple tracks. Segment 8 is 13.5 km long, featuring Tunnels 14 and 15 and three bridges. Notable stations in this segment include Gholtir and Gauchar, strategically positioned to tackle the challenging terrain. Escape tunnels, cross packages, and Adit Tunnel 15 enhance the project's structural integrity. A highlight of this project is the provision of escape tunnels alongside all main tunnels, a pioneering approach in India. This innovation ensures safety and resilience, setting a new standard in railway construction. Upon completion, the Char Dham Railway Tunnel Project promises to revolutionise travel, slashing the journey time between Rishikesh and Karnaprayag from 7 hours to a mere 2 hours. Recognising MEIL's work in the challenging terrain, the RVNL has awarded us the prestigious "Best Contractor" Award. As we continue to shape the future of transportation infrastructure, the Char Dham Railway Tunnel Project stands as a testament to engineering excellence, overcoming nature's challenges to connect communities and propel progress. #rvnl #chardhamyatra #indianrailways

🚆 Indian Railways flagship infrastructure project, the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (#USBRL) in #JammuandKashmir, is a testament to #sustainableconstruction and #engineeringmarvels. #MaccaferriIndia is proud to contribute to this groundbreaking #infrastructure project by constructing a flexible hybrid #reinforcedsoil (RS) structure at location 40, 41, 42 & 43 for the #railwayembankment construction. This a first time #Indianrailways used this kind this system for such height. "India requires long-term solutions that are more environmentally friendly than conventional methods. This project is a shining example of how we can build a greener future while connecting the beautiful valley of Kashmir, boosting tourism, and driving economic growth." - Vikramjiet Roy, Managing Director India and Region Head for India SouthEast Asia and Pacific. 📽 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/gvBk225K 📧 To know more write us at info.in@maccaferri.com Ministry of Railways, Government of India Northern Railway KONKAN RAILWAY CORPORATION LIMITED Indian Railways Ircon International Ltd.
