Phase III of Namma Metro’s expansion is set to take the city of Bengaluru by storm. With the completion of this massive project, many citizens’ daily commutes will be made easier and communication throughout the city will be greatly improved. It is anticipated that construction will begin in early 2025 or by the end of 2024.
For this next stage, the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) is getting everything ready very carefully. The planned Geotechnical Investigation, a thorough assessment that will go deeply into the geological composition of the suggested metro routes, is an important stage in these preparations. Starting next week, this Rs 6 crore initiative will examine rock formations, soil stability, and other important aspects.
Comprehending the subsurface conditions is crucial for ensuring the secure and effective building of metro infrastructure. According to Yashwant Chauhan, Chief Public Relations Officer of BMRCL, “we can assess the suitability of the land for metro construction by drilling into it at different points.” In order to provide the best possible building plans, this inquiry will also include a detailed inspection of potential station locations. Phase III likewise places a strong emphasis on innovation.
Motivated by the double-decker model’s success, which is being used on the Electronic City route, BMRCL is investigating the possibility of implementing a similar design. Evaluations of tenders are presently in progress; double-decker sections could improve productivity and optimise space use.
Phase III of Namma Metro, with its advanced technology, innovative design, and careful planning, is expected to revolutionize Bengaluru’s metropolitan environment.
