Feasibility for removal of Infringement at Road Over Bridges for Operation of Double Stack Container (DSC) Trains between Kannalus Junction and Ports of Mundra & Pipavav on Western Railway

• Reviewed existing studies and prepared ‘As-built’ drawings of the five ROBs
• Conducted an in-depth study of Indian Railway norms regarding the Schedule of Dimensions for operating double stack container trains
• Carried out reconnaissance surveys at each of the five ROB locations
• Conducted Non-destructive Testing (NDT) on concrete /masonry /abutment /piers /girders
• Based on reconnaissance survey and NDT, advised on most feasible engineering solutions for removing infringements at each location including:
• Raising the height of abutment and piers
• Strengthening of abutment/ piers and foundations
• Suitability of re- using existing girders
• Constructing new structure at the same location.
• Relocating the existing ROB to suitable adjacent location
• Assessment whether lowering the track was feasible and prepared the preliminary modified longitudinal section (L- Section) for the track.
• Prepared preliminary designs and General Arrangement Drawings for the modified/new ROBs
• Prepared a Bill of Quantities and cost estimates for the work to be done at each ROB location
