Mumbai Metro Line 11 Geotechnical Survey Progresses

12 Aug 2024 CW Team

The geotechnical survey for Mumbai Metro Line 11 is making significant progress, marking an essential phase in the project?s development. This survey, crucial for assessing soil and rock conditions along the proposed route, is aimed at ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the metro line.

Conducted by a specialised team, the survey involves drilling and sampling at various points along the alignment to evaluate subsurface conditions. The data collected will help engineers and planners make informed decisions about the design and construction of the metro line, which will connect Wadala to CSMT.

Line 11 is a pivotal part of Mumbai?s metro expansion plan, designed to ease congestion and enhance connectivity in the city. The geotechnical survey findings will be instrumental in addressing any potential challenges related to the ground conditions and in optimising the construction methodology.

With the survey nearing completion, work on the subsequent stages of the project, including detailed design and construction, is expected to proceed smoothly. The development of Line 11 is anticipated to bring significant benefits to Mumbai's public transport system, improving travel efficiency and supporting the city's growing transit needs.
