CONCLUSION

DELHI METRO - COMPARISON OF VARIOUS TECHNIQUES AND METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING ELEVATED CORRIDOR AND ITS ENVIRONLMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT D. S. Meena Chief General Engineer, N. W. Railway, Jaipur, Rajasthan-302006 1.0 INTRODUCTIO N With a view to reducing the problems of Delhi commuters like congestion on roads, ever slowing speed, increasing accidents rate, fuel wastage, and environmental pollution, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Lim ited has under taken the construction of Mass Rapid Transit System for Delhi. The entire work of length approximately 413.83 km, planned so far is divided into four partsPhase I 65.10 km Phase II 128.06 km (110.98 km in Delhi + 17.07 in Non Capital Region) Phase III 112.17 km ( 62.30 km in Delhi + 49.87 in Non Capital Region) Phase IV 108.50 Km ( 97.00 km in Delhi + 11.50 in Non Capital Region) The phase I and Phase II of the system consists of 193.16 km route length out of which a major portion, i.e. 142.31 km (125.23 km in Delhi and 17.08 km in NCR) of the system is supported on the viaducts, 6.5km at Grade and 44.35 under Ground. The construction of the superstructure of such long distance of viaducts has not only to meet the functional requirement but also to take care of the site constraints such as i) Allowing free flow of vehicular traffic on the already congested along with chosen alignment, ii) Paucity availability of land, iii) Existence of charted and uncharted utilities, iv) Problems to pedestrians, v) Problems to existing residents, and vi) Environmental impact including noise and vibration etc.

Present project report describes the comparison of various technique and methods adopted in construction of the viaduct and examines together the various factors influencing the design. The design solutions are presented together with methods adopted to comply with very tight design and construction period. 2.0 GENERAL To select the type of Metro Rail corridor I. A comprehensive multimode mobility study, taking into account the various transport means like Rail/Sub urban / Metro/Roads/Feeder services, is required to be conducted to finalized the change over points. II. A combination of route i.e. elevated, at par, and under ground is then selected considering their – • • • • •

Construction cost Maintenance cost Aesthetical view Environmental impact, and Impact on the profile of the city

The elevated corridor is planned by DMRC generally to cut across fairly densely built up areas by virtue of its need to serve these area “Hence its impact needed sensitive treatment and assessment. Thus, the sometimes conflicting issues of operations and using requirements, construction appearance, environmental impact, including noise and vibration had to be included in the overall assessment of the most appropriate materials and form of construction. 3.0 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF ELEVATED CORRIDOR 3.1 DURI NG CONS TRUCTIO N As stated in Para 1.0 above construction of the superstructure of such long distance of viaducts has not only to meet the functional requirement but also to take care of theSite constraints such as Allowing free flow of vehicular traffic on the already congested along with chosen alignment,

Paucity availability of land, Existence of charted and uncharted utilities, Problems to pedestrians, Problems to existing residents, and Environmental impact including noise and vibration etc. Mitigation MeasuresTo have minimum inconvenience to general public the following m itigation measures are required • Fully barricading the construction corridor, • Providing proper signage and lighting arrangement, • Completing the construction in a minimum time frame and in a time bound manner, • Good house keeping of the surrounding area, and • Rais ing the confidence of the public by adopting safety measures, caring for public attitude 4.0

CONSTRUCTION METHODOLO GY

4.1 Structure Form Adopted The structural form adopted for the elevated Corridor (i.e. viaduct) constructed so far by the DMRC is comprises of Pile foundation - Group of bored piles of dia 1.0 m , 1.2m, and 1.5m. Required concrete pile cap, pier and cross heads( cast in situ/pre cast pier heads ) Pre cast Pre stressed concrete segments of type• single segmental U, • single segmental box, • • • •

segmental box, segmental U, Full U girder one for each track Pre cast pre stress I girders

cast in situ span, and Special span 4.2 SINGLE S EGMENT CONS TRUCTIO N 4.2.1 Constructivity Requirement for single segmental girders

• Transportation of long girders having spans more than 20m by trailor will pose serious problem in crowded city roads and sharp curves. • Operation of Two cranes to place girders in position will require traffic block during night for a number of night which may not be acceptable to traffic police and if agreed upon they will cause inconvenience to general public. • The availability of casting yard at suitable location as choice will be governed by shifting, lifting and transportation of girders. • Cast in situ construction, Where ever required, is time consuming and cause inconvenience to public. 4.2.2 Advantage of single girder for two track s over two girder Single girder for two tracks have got following advantage over two girdersi) 4m pier cap against 6 to 7 m for two girder ii) 50% bearing iii) Gives a clean soffit and is preferable authentically 4.2.3 Disadvantages of single girder i) Larger spans have to be cast-in-situ which will cause false work, shuttering and concreting problem ii) It can not have curved surface in play iii) It is not idle suitable for carrying spans which are unavoidable in city due to road crossings, utilities and other constraints.

4.3

WHY S EGMENTAL CONS TRUCTIO N IS PREFERED? The various reasons arei) If a decision is taken to go for single girder for two tracks then segmental casting is only option. It can be managed from 3 to 4 casting yards for one full leg of corridor located at available land which may be a few km away. ii) Very fast Progress can e achieved. iv) Segments can be cast and stacked parallel to pile and pier construction activity. v) Launching speed is very fast.

vi)

Cause minimum disturbance to traffic as segments can be fed at selected location and launched with help of launched spans moving it on completed deck to avoid lifting of segment from trailor positioned on road. vii) It can have curved surface in plan and is suitable for carrying span lengths. viii) In case some span have to be skipped due to local problems segmental casting has got flexibility. ix) Cost of construction may be slightly more to start with but if it is adopted on large scale it may come down and likely to be comparable with conventional construction.

5. ERECTION OF VIODUCT The superstructure is be erected entirely from below using an under slung erection tackle. Three type of erection tackle are used 1. BRIDGE CONEDesign by Bombay based firm, moves pier to pier no ground support is required.

2. SPIC Design by Italy based Firm .Nois ing girder is supported on ground, can not be used where R. L. as road vehicle can not be moved. Much Safer and very use full for Railway x-ings.

.

3. KHANOLKER Design by Bombay based firm, front leg is moved ground, can not be used where x- ing is required.

6. AIRPORT LINK 6.1

Different type of structure has been adopted due to special nature of requirement of airport link. i) Two types of super structure was adopted. a) 25m long span U girder. b) Continuous span PSC solid slab at special. Locations i.e. Dhoulakuan fly over. ii) Pre cast Pier Cap

iii) Other structure All foundation and other substructure works are cast in situ. This includes-foundation pile and pile cap - Piers -Abutments -Extended pier arm - Cantilever pier arms and portal piers 6.2 Bearing -Elastomeric bear ing are placed underneath U- girder for transfer of vertical forces -Concrete shear keys are provided at top of pier cap which restrain the movement of deck in transverse direction and acts as topper in longitudinal direction. A gap of 25mm between deck and shear key each side of the deck is maintained to allow thermal expansion of the deck. 6.3 Drainage of deck/ solid pier Drain pipe is located with in solid pier to avoid aesthetics problems. The top of deck soffit slab is profiled so as to collect run off water at middle of slab by providing a cross slop of 1%. Two no of drainage pipes at each end of U girder span have been provided on top of the pier cap which will connect to the drainage pipe in pier. 6.4 SINGLE U-GIRDER First time in Delhi Metro Advantages as compared to segmental box section – Cost effective as the weight 11t/m where as it is 16t/m in segmental box, overall savings is about 10% .

– Fast un erection it takes less than one day cycle in erection of one span compared to 5-6 days required of conventional segmental span. – Aesthetically better looking as no joints. – No site parapets required.

6.5

SINGLE SEGMENTAL GIRDER Single segment for two tracks have got following advantage over two separate grinders : - 4m pier cap head against 6 to 7m for the box girder. - 50% bearing. - Gives a clean soffit & is preferable aesthetically. - Segmental construction can achieve very fast progress. Segment can be cast & stacked parallel to pile & pier construction activity. - Cost of construction may be s lightly more to start with but if it is adopted large scale it may come down & is likely to be comparable with conventional construction.

- In case of some problem, if a few spans have to be skipped, segmental cast has got flexibility. 11.0 METHOD STATEMENT A method statement is detailing the procedure of casting various elements of the structure.

10.0 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT: At locations where pollution level has already exceeded the permitted level or is on higher side, every construction activity needs very close scrutiny to ensure that there is no further environmental degradation. Planning for method of construction and type of materials used plays a very vital part in containing the adverse environmental impact.

10.1 ACTION TAKEN TO REDUCE NAGETIBVE ENVIRO NMENT IMPACT a) The pre-stressing technique, was used extensively on the elevated track to bind the segments, reduces the weight and volume of structure thus correspondingly reducing pollution in manufacturing, transporting, and assembling, etc. b) Use of high strength concrete to optimum level substantially reduced not only transportation and erection cost but also mitigated pollution. Similarly, by appropriate use of ‘pre-stressing’ in concrete structure, economy is invariably achieved as there is reduction in volume from 20% to 40% in most of the cases, which in turn results in a positive impact on environmental during construction. c) Some of the other environmentally friendly construction practices employed during the construction of the metro included 1. Tyre washing facility at site exits, 2. provision of oil separators, 3. Recycle of bentonite and reuse /recycle of curing waste productive. 4. Use of dewatered water etc. 5. Maintenance of equipment is mandatory and requirements for use of silent DG sets is made more stringent. 6. Segregation of wastes at sites was initiated and handling of waste as per legal requirements was introduced. 11.0 CONCLUSION Apart from the advantages mentioned in the beginning of this report there are a number of environmentally sustainable advantages of DMRC 1. In operation, it is a non polluting and environmental friendly system 2. It has a very high carrying capacity to cater to huge passenger demands thus drastically reducing land acquisition for the same load 3. It requires much less space to carry same number of passengers 4. Energy requirement per passenger kilometer is one fifth than for other modes 5. Finally, it is fast, reliable, safe and comfortable, all at the same time
