Superstructure Work Kicks Off on 36-Metre-High Sabarmati Bridge for Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train

Superstructure work has reached pier head assembly with in-situ segment casting under rigorous safety and clearance protocols

Overview

  • The 36-metre-high, 480-metre-long structure is a key river crossing on the 508-kilometre Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor, running parallel to the AhmedabadDelhi main line.
  • All foundation and substructure phases have concluded, and crews have begun superstructure work, including pier head assembly and in-situ casting of 23-segment spans.
  • Engineers are deploying the Balanced Cantilever Method to assemble long spans without traditional scaffolding by balancing segments sequentially from each pier.
  • Eight circular piers with diameters of 6 to 6.5 metres have been installed, and their increased heights ensure the mandated 5.5-metre vertical clearance as per IRC guidelines.
  • A structured work permit system, mandatory PPE, catch nets and CCTV monitoring have been implemented to uphold strict safety standards during all height-work operations.
