Preparations are in full swing for the deployment of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) which is being assembled for the construction of underground stations in Ramlila Maidan near the crossover section for the Agra Metro Rail project. Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has said that the TBM will operate in automatic mode. The machine operates several feet deep into the ground and there is little room for any error. The route is automatically set beforehand by entering the coordinates of the location and the TBM follows that route for tunnel construction. There are seven underground stations for Agra Metro Rail Project which will use TBM machines for tunnel construction.
