Paras Railtech Awarded Delhi Metro Grey Line’s Tunnel Work
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Tuesday awarded Paras Railtech with a Rs. 43.92 crore contract for constructing a 289.65 meter cut and cover tunnel (Package CC-126A) on the 1.218 km Najafgarh – Dhansa Bus Stand extension of Delhi Metro’s Grey Line.
This underground tunnel of the Phase 3 project’s Package CC-126 was originally awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. Ltd. – SUCG Infrastructure India Pvt Ltd (STEC – SUCG IN JV) in October 2017, and tunneling breakthroughs were recorded by the team using one tunnel boring machine (TBM) on January 18 and June 26, 2019.
As shared earlier – my industry sources indicate that a construction site collapse had occurred in July on a 90 meter wide cut and cover portion due to heavy rainfall and ingress of water at the extreme western end of the line, and due to that the DMRC removed a 289.65 meter portion of the up-line tunnel’s construction from STEC – SUCG IN JV’s scope of works.
