Gurgaon: In an effort to limit excavation and open excavation and preserve the green belt, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) plans to utilize the “Trench Machine” mandatory in laying underground utilities in the region.
Trenching machines that allow installation, deletion, or utility maintenance by minimizing or eliminating the need for open excavation.
GMDA officials said the machine would prevent operators from dumping land in the green belt, helping to preserve the road, reducing disruption which is usually caused by excavation, ensuring faster work and also helps in limiting air pollution, future winter factors.
According to officials, this problem has emerged for discussions during the GMDA Core Planning Cell Meeting (BPK) last month, after the CPC was intended that the trenching machine was used to use utilities.
The main engineers of infrastructure 1 and 2 divisions are also directed to develop “policy decisions” for the use of trench machines so that open excavations can be limited.
“Until now, the utilities are mostly placed through open excavations, which means digging portions.
For example, in the case of the road, one person explores the road, then the other comes and does another job, then a third another digging on other reasons.
Things like that Dismite the road, which is constantly damaged and excited.
The purpose of using a trenching machine is to prevent this from happening.
This will help maintain the road, the green belt and other GMDA assets, “said a senior official GMDA.
“After this policy is adopted, it will be mandatory for each operator who does the work on the right of the road (line) of the GMDA to use a trench engine instead of indulging open excavation.
About 95% of infrastructure work is possible through this method.
If there is an instance where the work cannot be done through This method and open excavation is needed, the requirements will be assessed based on cases by authority.
The policy decision is being worked on, “the official said.
At the BPK meeting last month, Chief Executive Officer GMDA also directed the main engineers to ensure that the soil penetration radar survey was carried out by every applicant who filed a job in the GMDA line, and the applicant submitted the image carried out after execution.
from work.
While the GPR survey shows the placement of utilities in terms of location and depth before construction, the image built describes the area where the work is done after completion.
The GMDA head also directs that officials must ensure that bank guarantees for work are obtained and enough to ensure that the applicant uses a trench machine to complete the work.
GMDA has worked on several plans to make the process of putting and maintaining utilities in smaller and faster cities, including the procurement of GPR machines themselves and maps all utilities placed by various institutions and makes data available to the public on the public portal.
