UP Metro ensures all safety measures for workers at Agra Metro Project

Six rig machines are being used in the construction of metro stations of Agra Metro. Officers and employees are fully following the covid protocol. On the construction site, groups of 15–15 workers have been formed and it is instructed that the two groups do not come in contact with each other. This will reduce the possibility of spreading the infection among the workers.

Thermal screening of each worker is done every day before the commencement of work. All workers are asked to wear masks and globs. At the same time, a doctor and paramedical staff are stationed in the casting yard at Bamrauli, so that the worker can contact in case of any health need. Along with this, daily sensitization work is also done.

Zero discharge facility being built by UP Metro at Agra Metro Depot

The dirty water does not quench the thirst but can extinguish the fire. This proverb is being proved by the UP Metro in the Agra Metro Project. Every drop of water in the Agra metro project will be utilized properly. For this, the first metro depot to be built at the PAC ground will have a zero discharge facility, under which the wastewater treatment will be used again. A rainwater harvesting system will also be installed at Agra Metro Depot.

UP Metro erected second steel span at Rawatpur Tiraha within a month, signaling work | Kanpur Metro

This portal provides information, news, and updates about all metro projects of UP Metro Rail Corporation UPMRC and NMRC. In this post, the latest news update of Kanpur Metro is as follows, the second steel span successfully erected at Rawatpur Tiraha, started signaling and electrical work under the Priority Section of Kanpur Metro Project by UPMRC.

Kanpur Metro Project construction during the pandemic

These days, the country is facing a second wave of the epidemic, cases have also increased rapidly in Uttar Pradesh, especially in the capital Lucknow, Prayagraj, Kanpur, and Varanasi. Due to this, the weekly lockdown has also been imposed in the state, which has been extended to Monday.

Due to the epidemic, once again the employment of the people was badly affected, while half the employees are being called to government offices. But in spite of all this, the work of the Kanpur Metro Project is going on continuously. In this order, UP Metro has now erected another steel span within a month on Rawatpur tiraha.

Erection of second steel span at Rawatpur Tiraha within a month

On the night of April 23, 2021, the UP Metro successfully completed the erection of the second steel span on Rawatpur Tirahe in the priority section being built from IIT to Motizheel of Kanpur Metro Project. Earlier, on March 27, the first steel span was erected.

The distance between the pillars of the elevated metro track at Rawatpur Tirahe is 45 meters, so as not to obstruct the movement of vehicles on the Tiraha. Due to the greater distance between the two Pillars, the decision to use steel span instead of U-girder at this place was taken by UP Metro.

Due to this experiment, traffic on Rawatpur tiraha will remain completely smooth and it will not be affected due to the larger gap between the Metro Pillars. The erection of steel span is a major achievement in terms of civil engineering, which achieved by UP Metro under the Kanpur Metro Project.

Why did the Kanpur Metro project require a steel span at Rawatpur Tiraha?

In order to ensure smooth traffic on Rawatpur tiraha, UP Metro has increased the gap between the two pillars by 45 meters so that traffic is not obstructed due to the pillar between the tiraha. It was not possible to use U-Girders or I-Girders at a distance of 45 meters of two Pillars. Because of this, it was decided to use ‘Steel Box Girders’ in this span

According to a UP Metro official, the use of 45-meter U-girders in place of steel spans would lead to higher loads, which could pose a threat to concrete U-girders in the future. Due to this, UP Metro has used steel span in Kanpur metro project after Lucknow.

Specifications of steel span used in Kanpur Metro Project

The length of this steel span is more than the U-Girders being used in the Kanpur Metro Project, but its weight is relatively less. The 27-meter U-Girders weigh 147 tons, while the 45-meter steel span weighs about 120 tons.

Greater Noida to Jewar airport in less than 25 minutes | Noida Metro New

This portal provides information, news, and updates about all Metro projects of UP Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) and Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC). In this post, the latest news update of Noida Metro is as follows the DMRC preparing a new plan of three types of rapid transit options for providing quick connectivity from Greater Noida to the upcoming Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport).

DMRC planning of three rapid transit option for quick connectivity from Greno to Jewar Airport

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation DMRC will soon start evaluating three options for rapid transit (metro lite, metro neo, and metro express) to connect other parts of NCR and Greater Noida Knowledge Park II to Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport).

The DPR of this metro route was prepared by DMRC in the year 2019, which was rejected by the UP government in January 2021 and asked to prepare a new DPR. According to the earlier DPR, this route was 35.6Km long and 25 metro stations were proposed in it.

Officials said that to keep the speed 90–110kmph in the new DPR, the focus will be on reducing the travel time by 25 minutes. The main part of this route 32km will be elevated.

Overview of Greater Noida to Jewar Airport new metro project

Shailendra Bhatia, an officer on special duty at the YEIDA said, at present, providing quick connectivity from Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport) to Noida and other parts of NCR is a priority. Noida Aqua Line Metro Route connectivity is already available at Noida Knowledge Park II. Another route will have to be built to connect the last stop. But if not more than five to six metro stations will be planned here.

In the report of the new project, the estimated cost of all the three options (metro lite, metro neo, and metro express) of the metro and its advantages and disadvantages will be explained. Before starting a new study for this project, YEIDA had asked the state government for approval and on April 8, they got approval by email.

Prior to the commencement of the commercial operation of Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport), YEIDA was committed to providing metro links in the Yamuna Expressway area along with providing multi-modal connectivity to the airport. According to the earlier study, the estimated cost of this project was 5708 crores.

Officials said that the elevated portion of this route will be parallel to Yamuna Expressway, while a part going through Greater Noida will be underground. This metro line will be integrated into the terminal building of the airport. The stretch between Knowledge Park and the airport is already connected to the high-speed carriageway.

Aqua-Line Sector 51 to 52 walkway construction postponed for 3 years | Noida Metro News

This portal provides information, news, and updates about all Metro projects of UP Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) and Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC). In this post, the latest news update of Noida Aqua Line Metro is as follows the walkway construction between the Noida Metro Aqua Line sector 51 station and Delhi Metro blue sector 52 station is postponed for three years and the tender floated for free e-rickshaw service for commuting between those metro stations.

Planning of walkway construction between Noida Metro and Delhi Metro Route

In January 2021, Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has planned to demolish the 300-meter walkway connecting the Sector 51 station of the Noida Metro Aqua Line to the Sector 52 station of the Delhi Metro Blue Line and construct new walkways for commuters. According to Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) officials, recently the Noida Authority has allotted the land between the two stations to a private company (Swedish furniture giant IKEA), due to which this step has been taken.

According to Deputy General Manager NMRC Sandhya Sharma, the Noida Authority had allotted the land between the two stations to a private company. This company will build a commercial building at the same place due to which the walkway has to be demolished.

Noida Metro (NMRC) also issued a new tender for the construction of a new walkway at that time. According to NMRC's tender document, the construction of the new walkway was to be completed in 2 months, which would have cost 1.49 crores, and the NMRC officials decided that the e-rickshaw service will continue for commuting between the two stations.

Current updates on walkway construction

However, according to a report by NMRC on 9 April, the construction of a walkway is not possible for the next 3 years, so that commuters will have to depend on the e-rickshaw service. Let us know why this happened.

NMRC officials said that “this is because the Swedish furniture giant IKEA is not able to construct a permanent walkway between Noida Aqua Line Metro Sector 51 station and Delhi Metro Blue Line Sector 52 station before 2024.” Due to this, commuters have to depend on a free e-rickshaw service for movement between the two metro stations.

NMRC, general manager (technical), Manoj Bajpai told the Times of India, "IKEA will build a walkway between the two metro stations and also provide 250 free parking spots to our staff. Swedish company IKEA will make some changes to its design, which may take 3 years or more to build. Until then we will provide a free e-rickshaw service. The tenure of the pre-existing free e-rickshaw operator is going to end in three months, So a new tender has been issued for this."

NMRC has also floated a tender to contract the firm for two years to provide free e-rickshaw service to the passengers between both metro routes (Noida Metro Aqua Line at the sector 51 metro stations and Delhi Metro Blue Line at the sector 52 metro station)

The third time tender was released in December 2020, which was canceled in February this year. According to the Times of India, due to the deadline set by NMRC for the major works of the Noida Aqua Line Metro Extension Project in this tender, construction companies were hesitant to participate in it.

Detailed Project Report DPR of Noida Metro Aqua Line Extension Route has already been approved by the Cabinet of UP Government.
