Patna Metro Rail Project Progress
Work on constructing tunnels in corridor-2 of the Patna Metro Rail project is progressing rapidly. After digging a 1494-meter tunnel between Moin Ul Haq Stadium station and Patna University station, Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)-1, also known as Mahavir, has now started working again. The TBM has begun its second journey after digging the first tunnel. Under Phase-I construction, TBM-1 will construct a 2302-meter-long tunnel between ISBT station and Patna Junction station, passing through Patna University Metro station to Gandhi Maidan via PMCH station.
Success of Mahavir ★The Tunnel Boring Machine
The Patna Metro project is using Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) to construct underground tunnels. Mahavir, also known as TBM-1, is a state-of-the-art machine that weighs as much as 60 African elephants. Equipped with modern navigation systems, Mahavir tunnels an average of 10 meters per day. Operated by an expert team, the tunneling work will continue underground while surface traffic and noise will be monitored by the Metro construction team.
Special Features of Mahavir
Mahavir, the TBM being used for the Patna Metro project, is a highly advanced machine designed for tunnel boring. With its impressive weight and cutting-edge technology, Mahavir is making significant progress in tunnel construction, marking a major success for the Patna Metro project. The use of TBMs like Mahavir demonstrates the commitment to modern infrastructure development and efficient construction methods in Patna.
पटना में मेट्रो रेल प्रोजेक्ट के कॉरिडोर-2 में सुरंग बनाने का काम तेजी से चल रहा है। मोइन उल हक स्टेडियम स्टेशन और पटना यूनिवर्सिटी स्टेशन के बीच 1494 मीटर की सुरंग खोदने के बाद अब टनल बोरिंग मशीन एक बार फिर काम पर लग गई है। टीबीएम का वजन 60 हाथी के वजन के बराबर है और यह प्रतिदिन 10 मीटर खुदाई करता है। यह अत्याधुनिक नेविगेशन प्रणाली से लैस है और एक्सपर्ट टीम द्वारा संचालित किया जाता है। इसमें जमीन के नीचे सुरंग की खुदाई होगी और जमीन के ऊपर यातायात और लोगों की आवाजाही जारी रहेगी।
