This afternoon, workers from J Kumar Infraprojects – CRTG JV erected the first U-girder for the 15.18 km Mumbai Metro Line-6 (Pink Line) project which’ll connect Swami Samarth Nagar in Lokhandwala Complex with Vikhroli through 13 elevated stations.

Weighing 140 MT, the 25m long U-girder was successfully placed into position on Piers 23 – 24 near Swami Samarth Nagar Circle on package BC-03 of the project.

Package BC-03 was awarded to J Kumar – CRTG JV on August 7, 2018 by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (executor of Line-6) with a contract value of Rs. 867.75 crore. It involves the construction of a 6.079 km viaduct from chainage – 822.508m to 5257.400m and five stations at Swami Samarth Nagar, Adarsh Nagar, Jogeshwari (W), JVLR and Shyam Nagar.

    How many U girders do you think Line 6 will require?

      15180/25m*2 lines, so approx 1200? Just a wild calculation.

      They’ll likely use I-girders around tight curves (eastern section), so the total number will be less than that.
