 Abstract

The Construction industry of India is an important indicator of the development as it creates

investment opportunities across various related sectors. The construction industry has
contributed an estimated 6708 billion to the national GDP in 2011-12 (a share of around 9%).
The industry is fragmented, with a handful of major companies involved in the construction
activities across all segments; medium-sized companies specializing in niche activities; and
small and medium contractors who work on the subcontractor basis and carry out the work in the
field. In 2011, there were slightly over 500 construction equipment manufacturing companies in
all of India.

Being the capital city of India, it does not come as a shock that New Delhi is the most populated city in India in

term of people and vehicles. The population of Delhi and vehicles on road are ever increasing leading to problems

like traffic, pollution and high fuel consumption .Considering all this THE DELHI METRO comes as

a huge relief for the people of Delhi.There are no doubts about the social benefits of the Delhi metro. It will

help in reducing traffic and pollution in the capital and more important save a lot of time for the daily commuters.

My project is based on the advantage and disadvantage of metro and also on the analysis of construction

knowledge which I got from the site.

1.2.1 VALUES FOR SAMSUNG:

MANAGEMENT OF SAMSUNG:

1.3 Requirement of metro infrastructure in urban area:

Urban India today, faces serious challenges of growth and its management.
Across geographic, issues of urbanization manifests in the form of overcrowding,
 congestion, insufficient infrastructure, inadequate service provisioning mainly
transport, environmental degradation and pollution etc.

Infrastructure facility in the city is directly depends on the resources available to

develop the infrastructure facilities.

Growing cities, growing population and growing traffic has invariably called for a
shift from private modes of transport to public mode of transport.

Use of metro rail will result in prevention emission of green house gases.

Averts the accidents.

It runs on electricity so it will reduce the pollution.

Use of metro rail will result in saving fuel cost, vehicle cost
etc. Save time:

International standard for metro rail with maximum speed of 80kmph and minimum
35kmph will helps in saving time.
Provide comfort:

Modern service like automatic ticket system, ultra modern coaches, security
system (ATM, food, cafe)

1.3.1 Suitability of Elevated metro rail:

Newly developing areas where city having wide roads, elevated corridors can be
the choice: It would take up some of the width of the road.

Advantages:

Elevated metro rail follows the existing road network, it will

helps to increase conveniences of people to transport one to other
place.

Disadvantages:

Elevated metro structure affects the visual character of the city.

Elevated construction needs to follows the existing road network, space etc.

Interchange between two elevated lines is much more difficult.


The Elevated areas may encroach some private properties. Elevated station close to
the residential properties may become difficult to stay to the people. It may result
into property value going down.

The Elevated corridors may face major delays and cost increases due to land
acquisition issues (Physical relocation of residents and other properties)

1.3.2 Suitability of Underground metro rail:

Underground corridors are adopted in the areas where there are interchanges of different
metro lines and the alignment is passing through the populated area.

Advantages:
Underground metro structure not affects the visual character of the city.

There are no needs to follow the existing road network, space etc.

Interchange between two Underground metro lines will be comparatively easy.

Disadvantages:

Underground construction will be 2.5 to 3 times more expensive than elevated.

Underground metro construction cost increase due to ventilation, lighting, air-

conditioning, escalator system, fire safety system, maintenance etc as compare to
elevated structure.

Technology and machines used in tunnel are more expensive.

Water table that raises the cost of construction.

Vibration would be a major threat posed to residents, monument etc in

case of underground corridors.

The passenger evacuation in case of any emergency becomes a critical issue in

case of underground metro. (not suitable for earthquake restricted areas)

1.3.3 Suitability of On graded metro rail:

Newly developing area where city have large space. It would take up half of the
width of road.


Advantages:

Require less maintenance.

Cost will reduce because of no need of lifts, stairs, air conditioning, escalator
facilities.

Passengers evacuation plan will be more easy

Elevated metro rail follows the existing road network; it will

help to increase conveniences of people to transport one to other
place.

Interchange between two elevated lines is easier.

Disadvantages:

On grade construction needs to follows the existing road network, space etc.

Interchange between two elevated lines is much more difficult.

The areas may encroach some private properties. Elevated station close to the
residential properties may become difficult to stay to the people. It may result into
property value going down.

This may face major delays and cost increases due to land acquisition issues
(Physical relocation of residents and other properties)

2.4 Cut and cover method:

It is a simple method of construction for shallow depth allowing for excavation to be carried
out from the surface. The two forms of cut & cover tunneling used on site:

1. Bottom-up approach
2. Top-down approach

2.4.1 Bottom-Up Approach:

Bottom-up, cut & cover tunneling begins with the construction of the tunnels
supporting walls or piles.

Once the piles are constructed an excavator is used to remove soil and rock to
required depth.

During excavation ground anchors will be installed to provide support for the
excavated walls.

Construct the roof slab first, once the roof slab is constructed install a strut and
excavate below strut -1.

Install strut-2 and excavate below it.

After installing 3rd strut construct the base slab and remove it.

Construct permanent walls, prepare temporary form work up to concourse level.

Construct concourse slab and remove all the form work and struts.

o It is done by alternate panel method. Primary panels were casted first leaving
suitable gaps in between.
o Following panels and closing panels were casted in these gaps.
o T shape panels are also used at some places for better support to D-wall if there
is no column near that D-wall.
o Tremmie pipe of 200mm dia was used for concreting. Continuously
 pouring of Cement bentonite slurry.
o The stop end pipe was removed gradually by use of crane.

Reinforcement cage lifting for diaphragm wall panel construction

Once the bottom of the panel is reached (and cleaned), the reinforcement cage can be lowered
into position. The reinforcement cage is typically suspended from the guide wall panels, and
must have enough transverse and diagonal reinforcement to permit it to be properly lifted and
lowered into place. Sufficient space must be left for at least two or three tremie pipes so that
tremieing can take place.

Concrete tremieing refers to the process of replacing the supporting slurry with the permanent
concrete with the use of vertical pipes called tremies. With the tremies, concreting of a
diaphragm wall starts from the bottom and the tremies are lifted progressively as the concrete
level rises. During this process the tremies are maintained within the freshly poured concrete
for a minimum depth of 2ft or (0.6m). Overpouring might be required to make sure that all
slurry is
 Reinforcement cage of D-wall

displaced from the panel by concrete. Poor tremieing can result in slurry pockets getting
entraped within the diaphragm wall concrete.

Construction of Plunge column

o Prefabricated in advance.
o Welding of plunge column.
o Surveying and setting out. Center points were fixed.

o Barrette piling setup. It is done by means of pilling rig. Verticality check with plumb
line.
o Mud cleaning and disposal.
o Fabrication of cage. Tie wires and tack welded for tie main bars so that it will not
deform while lifting by crane.
o Boring operation. Verticality check by means of spirit level.
 o The temporary steel casting was driven into stable stratum.

o Koden instrument (Ultrasonic echo sounder) was used to measure the diameter of the
bore.
o The fabricated cage was lifted from one end with crane and other support from bottom

3.2 Tunnel Construction:

3.2.1 Launching Station:

From where TBM is launched. Here they used 4 TBM.

TBM 1 and 2 launched from Vikaspuri to Janakpuri. TBM 3 and 4 launched from
Janakpuri West to Dashrathpuri. TBM 1 and 2 they used it again from Dashrathpuri to
palam.

3.2.2 Cross Over:

Generally cross over is provided at the last station of one route. It connects two parallel
rail tracks allowing a train on one track to cross over to the other.

3.2.3 Cross passage:

Cross passage is a way between two parallel tunnels. The cross passage is fitted out with
electrical panels, cabling, fire deluge system which along with providing a safe access
between the two tunnels in the event of an emergency.

Here in specific project CC-34 it built by the simple excavation and shotcrete (steel
and polypropylene fiber) method.

The excavation is immediately protected by a layer of sprayed concrete

commonly referred to as shotcrete.

Other support measures used are steel arches, rock bolts, mesh etc. This creates a
natural load bearing ring which minimize the deformation of soil. FI

3.2.4 TBM lowering:

Tunnel depth is Secant piles are used at the starting edge of Tunnel.

It is used to transfer lateral, vertical or a combination of both the loads through weak
soil layers to a suitable bearing layer. They can be drilled in all types of configuration
that can form an interlocking water weight wall.
It is important to install a rail track so that the lowering works can be made faster.
Survey points for TBM location on wall.

From main survey bench mark on site the points are transferred on the wall by total
station, based on which TBM level is decided. Points marked as a permanent survey
colors.

The main process was basically based on the lowering of TBM parts.

The parts of TBM lowered and then joined it because its not possible to lower it directly.
o Preparation of base

o Crane assembly

o Transportation of parts
o Connection of parts

o Erection frame and rail line work

 o Base slab was made leveled and clean.

o Steel plates are laid on the surface. Steel plates are welded together as required.

o Crane always coming on site in parts:

o Crawlers assemble Main body parts joined with crawler Boom is assemble
Ropes and hooks are installed.

o Transportation of parts

3.3 Casting Yard:
A casting yard is a confined place where all the concrete structures like segments, parapets, I-
girders/beams, boundary wall panels, cable troughs etc. Re-casted/manufactured, shifted to
their
stack yard, cured for the specific period/days and then shifted to the working site/viaduct
after
they gain their required strength.

Area of casting yard: 40018.86 m^2

Production scope: Theoretical Production excluding wastage is about 6234

rings Ring dimension: 2900 mm inner radius

275 mm thickness

Width varying from 1380 1420 mm

3.3.1 Concrete mix Designfor segments:

3.3.2 Precast Segments:

Precast concrete segments used in tunnel construction in specific project CC-34.

Production sequence of precast segments on casting yard:

Production process in casting yard:

The casting yard is a very important part of project though the construction activities bond to
casting yard is totally different than the other construction process. The setup of casting yard
is more of factory type production. We can divide the activities of segment production in
main four steps.
Types of segments:

1. Left hand tapper

2. Right hand tapper

Both types of rings have 6 segments: 1 key segment + 5 segments

In soft soil strata there will be a problem of wet and damp places where water will be the big
issue. So, direct shotcreting is not possible. . There for they have provided rings which
directly retain the soil mass and by grouting the joints will become strong.


segments lifted by erecter of tunnel bore machine

Segment type 1, 6 & 2 have very special importance. The Key segment is inserted at
last and while placing this it is assured that sufficient pressure will be generated
between segments.

All the segments are joined with the galvanized bolts and black sockets are
inserted during casting to make good bond and provide grip to the joint.

The circular dots at intrados are very important. The main reason of providing
them is they stop amplification of sound waves by breaking them.

The periphery part of segments are with little shepherded edge and gap is provided
between them to avoid collision of edges while placement that stop erection damages.

The marking of each segment will be done with mould number, types of rings,
project name, and name of segment type. So that the misunderstanding and
misplacements can be avoided.

It is essential to change key segment position in adjacent rings for proper load
transfer and for provision of staged joints.

They used 6 pipes: Inlet water, Outlet water, Dewatering, Cement sand water,
Silicate, Extra pipe.

Cement and Silicate mix with each other and it will provide strong joint.

 5.Heavy Equipments used in project:

Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for executing

construction tasks, most frequently ones involving earthwork operations. They are also
known as heavy machines, heavy trucks, construction equipment, engineering equipment,
heavy vehicles, or heavy hydraulics. They usually comprise five equipment systems:
implement, traction, structure, power train, control and information. Heavy equipment
functions through the mechanical advantage of a simple machine, the ratio between input
force applied and force exerted is multiplied. Some equipment uses hydraulic drives as a
primary source of motion.

Electric generator and bulker

These subdivisions, in this order, are the standard heavy equipment categorization. Some
contractors place numbers on the side of their equipment corresponding to the category -
Grader '02' - followed by a sequential number that usually corresponds to the number it was
purchased, for example, 02-112, is the 112th grader a company has purchased since their
founding. This allows for easy recognition of the equipment type and the relevant age.

 8.Quality Checklists:

Construction projects are a balance between cost, time and quality. It is possible to have high
quality and low cost, but at the expense of time, and conversely to have high quality and a
fast project, but at a cost. If both time and money are restricted, then quality is likely to
suffer. High quality is not always the primary objective for the client; time or cost may be
more important. It is only realistic to specify a very high standard of quality if the budget is
available to achieve that standard.

When defining objectives for quality the client should consider:

Available funding and time.

Existing corporate policies (such as environmental policies).
Key requirements of the business.
Key requirements of stakeholders.
The views of external organisations such as the local planning authority,
Local and national legislation (for example local planning requirements for energy
use).

Test of construction materials at site

Workability test of concrete slump test

Compressive strength test
Cement test
 Future scope and its objectives

Objectives

To analyze the strength and weakness of the Delhi Metro from socio-economic perspective

To model the demand-supply curve and various revenue functions

To estimate the break-even for Delhi Metro

To understand the effect of Delhi Metro on other modes of transportation and to study the effects of
common wealth games on revenues

Future scope

This analysis will help the other metro proposals in pipe-line to streamline the process of planning and assist

the Delhi Metro to improvise its revenue generation & further expansion. Italso provides the assistance for

Delhi government to plan for the other modes of transport likeLight Rail Transit System, Mono Rail and

dedicated bus corridor Subject to clearance, the Delhi Metro plans to commence work on phase
IV even before work on phase III is completed.

Phase III of the Metro network is scheduled to be completed in 2016, while the DMRC plans
to start work on phase IV by mid-2015. Metro officials hope the project report would get a
final nod by December. The latest proposed phase is scheduled to be completed by 2021. As
per the project report, 67 new stations would come up on six new corridors proposed by the
Delhi Metro. The new corridors include Rithala Narela (21.73km), Janakpuri West R.K.
Ashram (28.92km), Mukundpur Maujpur (12.54km), Inderlok Indraprastha (12.58km),
Tughlakabad Aerocity (20.20 km), Lajpat Nagar Saket G-Block (7.96 km). Completion of
the new corridors would bring remote locations like Narela, Maujpur, Madangir, Bawana,
Barwala, Mukundpur, Najafgarh, Chhawla and Mahipalpur on the Metro map.

The detail project report has been submitted to the Delhi government and the Union
Ministry of Urban Development. "Six new proposed corridors will add more than 100km to
the existing Metro rail network, said DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal.
 9.Conclusion

It was a very good learning experience at HCC-SAMSUNG JV for two months

in New Delhi. I gained a lot of knowledge regarding almost every aspect of
site. I was given exposure in almost all the departments at the site. The friendly
welcome from all the employees is appreciating, sharing their experience and
giving their peace of wisdom which they have gained in long journey of work.
I hope this experience will surely help me in my future and also in shaping my
career.
