In order to start the Airport Metro Rail ground works at an early date and fast track the pre-construction activities, Hyderabad Airport Metro Ltd (HAML) has decided to take up a number of activities in parallel.

It has engaged two survey teams to gather ground data for alignment finalisation. The data will be crucial for deciding the location of metro pillars and stations, their heights, the profile of the viaduct, etc, a press note from HAML said.

Launching the survey work and giving directives to the survey teams, HAML managing director N V S Reddy and a team of senior engineers inspected the Airport Metro route from Raidurg Metro Station to Narsingi Junction on Sunday. Walking the entire length of about 10 km, NVS Reddy has given several directives to HAML engineers and the survey teams, including on station locations, facilities, combining the extended Blue Line new terminal station and the Airport Metro station, and making the airport metro available to less wealthy citizens for commuting, among others.

HAML chief electrical engineer D V S Raju, chief project manager B Anand Mohan, general managers M Vishnuvardhan Reddy and Rajendra Prasad Naik and senior engineers participated in the inspection.
