Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR develops casting yards at 25 zones

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor (MAHSR) project is being executed by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). It has developed casting yards at 25 locations adjacent to the high-speed metro site.

From 25 casting yards, 17 are full-span casting yards, and eight are segmental casting yards. Each casting yard spread across 16-93 acres of land as required near the High-Speed Rail corridor.

As per NHSRCL, the total area of the casting yards is approximately 1,000 acres.

It has adopted a full-span launching method and segmental method. The full-span girders are more preferential than segmental girders since their erection is seven times faster.

Full-span girders are not feasible at some locations due to road crossings, pipelines, canals, rivers and curvature radii of less than 6,000 m. Therefore, NHSRCL uses segmental girders.

The full-span girder of 40 m is cast in one go, and segmental girders are cast in small pieces of lengths between 1.75-2.5 m. The small pieces are attached using prestressing cables to make 35-60 m spans.

NHSRCL has recently developed a casting yard in village Vaktana, Surat, on 22-acre land.

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 ..
