Infrastructure company Tata Projects has collaborated with Lucknow Metro Rail (LMRC) to complete an underground Tunnel Boring Project from Lucknow Secretariat to Hazratganj in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
The engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) project involved the construction of a 812m-long tunnel, which was successfully completed in five months from the date of commencement.
A 75m-long tunnel-boring machine (TBM) known as Gomti successfully constructed the tunnel below the dense city centre areas of Sachivalaya and Hazratganj.
The TBM was equipped with on-board computerised tunnel guidance systems to ensure that the tunnelling was completed accurately and complied with the designed alignment.
TATA Projects managing director Vinayak Deshpande said: “Due to many heritage structures, the stretch was highly challenging.
“With excellent guidance from LMRC team, state-of-the-art TBMs and a dedicated, passionate project team, the daunting task was completed in a world-class manner with outstanding quality and before-time completion.”
