Kanpur: Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (UPMRC) has Started the’Utility Identification and Diversion’ Procedure on the Undercover Metro Corridor to be built between Chunniganj and Nayaganj as Section-I.

The method involves identification of telecom-electric wires and water-sewer pipelines beneath the floor and also their shifting-diversion as required.
Typically, these utilities have been identified via manual excavation however in Kanpur, UPMRC is utilizing the innovative technologies of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to spot utilities (telecom-electric wires and water-sewer pipelines).
During GPR method, underground utilities have been recognized with Radio Waves.
Radio Waves are shipped under the floor and they spot the barriers beneath.
Throughout the frequency obtained in the recipient, it’s deciphered that, which sort of barrier is not there.
In Kanpur, UPMRC is utilizing 200-400 MHz frequencies to differentiate them just even at larger depths.
Managing Director, UPMRC,” Kumar Keshav stated,”Ordinarily, utilities such as wires and pipelines are up to 2 meters depth under the floor, however Kanpur is a outdated planned town, thus there’s a chance of locating these utilities at higher depth.
UPMRC would like to make sure that the tunnelling function later on will not get affected because of those utilities and individuals will not have some hassle.
GPR guarantees it could find and picture the utilitiesup to ten meters depth under the floor”.
The beginning of Utility identification annd recreation procedure a part of next leg of stage among Kanpur Metro job between Chunniganj along with Nayaganj.
Between both of these ends, there’ll be four subway stations – most of these are underground.
Considering that the channels are underground, metro government is currently participated in identifying utilities (telecom-electric wires along with water-sewer pipelines) and then shifting/diverting themif necessary.
