CHALLENGES IN NAMMA METRO

CONSTRUCTION:

1. Traffic volume & diversion

2. Deep excavation (6 m from road level)
3. Local Public issues / Project Affected People
4. Existing utilities
5. safety
6. Environmental aspects
7. Space constraints (Stacking ,Transporting

&Erection Of Precast Girder)

8. Media Focus (Increased spot lights )
9. Quality of skilled labour

2. Air pollution
3. Noise levels
4. Soil erosion and pollution
5. Disposal of excavated soil and debris
6. Maintaining of roads/Drainages

Challenge : space constraints

Impacts
Casting ,stacking& transportation
Erection scheme

Stacking ,Transportation & Erection Of Precast Girder

A major concern with girder erection is the security and stability of the superstructure
During all phases of erection with respect to construction conditions, wind loads and construction loads.
Stacking of the girders until the erection part comes & delivery of precast concrete girders to the site
Erection of precast girders with the traffic flow
.

Taking the above things in consideration L&T made a detailed

erection scheme.
