Pune Metro Line 3 progresses; first segment installed

The first segment for Pune Metro Line 3 between Hinjewadi and Shivajinagar was installed last week at Hinjewadi in the presence of Suhas Diwase, commissioner, Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA), along with other officials.

The segment weighing 46 tonnes was lifted and erected at 11 metres height between proposed stations number 1 and 2, which will give a boost to the ongoing work of 23 km elevated Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar Pune Metro Line 3.

Diwase said, “The Pune Metro Line 3 project is making steady progress. An important milestone of launching the first segment was achieved and we are confident of maintaining momentum for timely completion of the project.”

Alok Kapoor, chief executive officer of Pune IT City Metro Rail Ltd, said the casting of the segment was done at the casting yard situated at Tathwade. The length of the segment is around 3.6m and the weight is around 46 tonnes.

“Around 10-12 such segments are used between two pillars. While the piling work too is being carried out, work at the casting yard is in full swing and keeping the required number of segments ready, which we will later assemble on the route, where the work has already commenced,” said Kapoor.
