The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) casted the first segment at a casting yard near Navsari in Gujarat, as part of construction activities for the upcoming bullet train corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The segments will be stitched together to make spans, which will be used at locations where full span launching is not possible because of the site constraints, according to NHSRCL - responsible for the development, execution, and maintenance of the bullet train project.
The segments are 11.90 to 12.4 metre in length 2.1 - 2.5 m in width having a depth of 3.40 metre, and weigh approximately 60 MT. 19 such segments will make a span of 45 metre, according to NHSRCL.
With activities such as installation of segments at casting yards, casting girders, and pier reinforcement work being undertaken by authorities - the bullet train project is currently under various stages of construction. Here are some of the latest construction activities of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed bullet train corridor.
