Hyderabad’s Shilpa Layout-ORR flyover an engineering feat

Hyderabad’s four-lane bi-directional flyover from Shilpa Layout to the Outer Ring Road (ORR) near the state’s Gachibowli Junction is known for having one of the longest spans on any flyover in the State capital and is likely to be inaugurated this August. 

This flyover has already been termed as an engineering feat by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) since some spans of the flyover have been installed about 18 m above the ground and are being placed across the existing Gachibowli Crossroad Flyover. It promises to ease traffic congestion at one of the busiest traffic junctions in the city.

The Shilpa Layout-ORR flyover has two twin steel girders, one of which is the longest span installed to date on any flyover built under the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP). 

The 823-metre-long, 16.60-metre-wide flyover will be improving connectivity from Shilpa Layout to ORR. On the Shilpa Layout road, peak hour traffic in 2020 was reportedly about 1,464 passenger car units (PCU) per hour and the projected peak hour traffic in 2040 is 5,194 PCU per hour.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
