“The launch of the girder took place at Sakhare village in Dahanu. It is cast as a single, monolithic unit, free of construction joints, using 390 cubic meters of concrete and 42 metric tonnes of steel. The use of full-span girders allows construction to progress up to 10 times faster compared to conventional segmental methods,” it added.
To support rapid construction, NHSRCL is deploying specialized indigenous heavy machinery such as straddle carriers, bridge launching gantries as well as girder transporters, it added. PTI COR BNM
