While 22 girders were launched by the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) as a part of the Kalyan-Badlapur additional corridor project, the CR team also launched all sets of girders of the Patri Pul in a period of three hours 20 minutes, replaced turnouts, and overhead wires, and completed a host of other works.
“This is a commendable feat of engineering and teamwork,” an MRVC spokesperson said.
“During the block period, 11 girders were launched at Ulhasnagar. Additionally, nine more girders were launched post-block period at a location away from the railway line, which did not require a block. This resulted in the successful launch of 20 girders at Ulhasnagar in a single night, contributing to a total of 31 girders launched by MRVC in the Kalyan-Badlapur section and at Neral.
At Neral, a 110-ton capacity crane was employed, with 23 workers and officials contributing to the smooth execution of the task,” the MRVC spokesperson added.
