Nagpur: Following intending nation’s first MetroNeo job for Nashik, the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd, called MahaMetro, has added another feather in its cap by offering layout depending on the revolutionary idea to Warangal town in Telangana.
Because of this cost-effective plan ready by the MahaMetro, Kakatiya Urban Development Authority (KUDA), intending authority for neighboring towns of Warangal, Hanamkonda along with Kazipet and adjacent places, will conserve Rs2,000 crore.
Based on MahaMetro officials, KUDA had requested the bureau to prepare the detailed project report (DPR) several months ago and it had been ready by a team headed by MahaMetro managing manager Brijesh Dixit in only five weeks.
According to the DPR, duration of Warangal MetroNeo is going to be 15km and it’s going to be constructed at a price of approximately Rs1,000 crore.
The price per km of the endeavor is Rs60 crore, against Rs180 crore per km of conventional heavy Metros.
Explaining the way the agency was able to conserve Rs2,000 crore, ” the officers stated,”MetroNeo technology utilizes electrical trolley buses.
Like conventional Metros, you’ll find overhead electrical (OHE) lines, however these bikes operate on cement streets rather than tracks.
Aside from that, we’ve done price optimization at Warangal Metro through different initiatives.
The Metro is going to be at-grade where road thickness is adequate.
The at-grade segment is 7km long, while raised segment is 8km.” Aside from that, automated fare collection (AFC) system was substituted with ticket vending machines and arbitrary ticket checkingaccount.
“Just one-third of this platform is going to be addressed by collapses, which will conserve lighting and construction price.
Solar panels will be mounted beneath the channels to conserve energy consumption and therefore reduce operational cost.
Additionally, Warangal Metro’s workforce demand will be only 15 men per km, rather than 35 per kilometers of conventional Metros,” said officials.
At present, inhabitants of Warangal, Hanamkonda along with Kazipet towns is 20 lakh.
It’s predicted to grow to 36 lakh at 2041.
The summit hour per management traffic (PHPDT) at 2041 is anticipated to become 8,000.
“Conventional Metro wouldn’t have been possible here and consequently we chose to opt for MetroNeo,” explained Dixit.
Warangal Metro will join Kazipet railroad station with Warangal channel via Hanamkonda.
The Warangal Metro buses will soon be 18-metre-long and may possess taking capacity of 200 passengers.
The amount of channels is 21 with channel spacing in 600 to 700 yards.
The street width utilized for Up and down lines is 7.5 yards and 11.5 yards where channels will be constructed.
KUDA has submitted the DPR to the authorities of Telangana and the exact same is predicted to be sent into authorities of India shortly for acceptance.
