Introduction & Project Overview:
G R Infraprojects Limited has been announced as the lowest bidder for a significant section of the Nagpur Metro Rail Project, Phase-2. The project involves designing and constructing a 17.624 km long elevated metro viaduct, between chainages 21256.814m to 38881.7m, with notable features including railway spans of 79m and 100m, and a 1.14 km six-lane double-decker viaduct with a vehicular underpass (VUP).
Scope of Work – Viaduct Construction:
The contractor’s responsibilities include constructing the elevated metro viaduct, along with the associated superstructure. A key aspect is the interfacing with NHAI and PWD/MH agencies for seamless integration of substructure and superstructure components in the specified chainages (25755.211m to 26895.211m).
