4.0 INTRODUCTION
• This chapter covers the alignment proposals for the new suburban corridor on Virar-
Vasai-Diva-Panvel section on Central & Western Railway, Mumbai (Figure 1).
• The collection of the existing topographic features to the required degree of
accuracy was an important activity for the successful design of the proposed new
suburban corridor. The route was identified contemplating the existing surface area
and elevated design wherever necessary utilizing to the maximum extent of
available Railway land. The Topographical Survey was conducted covering complete
Railways Area along the proposed corridor and 20 m strip of private area has been
also surveyed on both side of Railway Land Boundary, wherever found feasible. The
proposed alignment of DFCCIL running almost parallel from Panvel up to Juichandra
has also been studied/marked to avoid any infringements.
4.1 ENGINEERING SURVEY
4.1.1 Introduction
• A survey team led by the team leader, conducted a reconnaissance survey along the
corridor to study and find out any bottlenecks to be tackled during the field work
• Topographical survey team headed by a Manager level officer was deputed to
ensure the quality and progress of work. Monitoring of day to day survey progress
and quality was done to ensure the collection of all ground features as per scope of
work.
• The Survey work was carried out along the existing railway corridor between VR -
Vasai – Diva – Panvel (70 km) as well as for the the area between Nilaje-Kopar along
the proposed DFC alignment, survey for proposed location of depot along the
existing railway corridor between Kalwar–Dunge village.
4.1.2 Survey Methodology
• For maintaining high precision in picking up maximum details in available time, the
coordinates for the traverse points were fixed by using the GPS (Global Position
System) between Vasai to Panvel and closed traversing was carried out between
GPS point by using Total station with one second accuracy and SOKKIA Auto levels
with 1 mm accuracy for levelling works. The GPS station fixed with the help of DGPS
are tabulated in
Table 4.1.

• The Engineering Topographic Survey was carried out along the entire Suburban Rail
Corridor and beyond the Railway boundary on either side. The survey covered
road/rail track and all natural and manmade features and take-off points of all
railway tracks, curves, transitions, points and crossings and other electrical, signal
structures, installations etc.
• The ground survey work was done in detail covering all items, detailed in the Scope
of work using the latest survey instruments like DGPS, Leica Total station
instrument, Auto level and Digital level instruments. The survey drawings were
prepared in Auto CAD in DWG/DXF format.
• Topographical survey work was divided in following activities:
i. Fixing the control points by GPS.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-6
ii. Traversing and calculation of closing error.
iii. Leveling including fixing of bench marks.
iv. Detailing of ground features and plotting the same in AUTO Cad.
v. Site verification by the agency.
vi. Complete verification of all above data/drawings by RITES Engineers.
4.1.3 Methodology of Error Distribution
In Traversing:
Linear correction of any side = Closing error X length of that side/perimeter of traverse
Check for Angular Work:
The sum of interior angles= (2n-4) 90°
The sum of exterior angles= (2n+4) 90°
Where n=no. of sides of the traverse
In Levelling:
Proportionate distribution of error to the stations.
Arithmetical check:
∑ BS - ∑ FS = ∑ RISE - ∑Fall = Last R.L – First R.L. The Permissible error in leveling is
6mm / Km.
4.1.4 Survey Accuracy
• Linear measurement accuracy was 4 cm per Km.
• The Northing and Easting obtained by GPS coordinates used for survey detailing.
The closed traverse was run in between these GPS stations by using Total Stations
to establish secondary traverse station, and the same were downloaded into the
computer to convert the same data in Autocad-2010 format. Detailed topographical
survey was carried out with the help of these traverse stations and final preparation
of the survey map of the area. Survey plotting was carried out in the office
simultaneously with the field work.
• The plotted sheets were taken to the site for verification to ensure that no details or
structure was left out. Necessary modifications to the drawings were made and
then final prints were taken from the plotter at 1:1000 scale. The entire proposal,
the mode of alignment and location of proposed stations is being designed with
help of MX Rail Software. Temporary bench marks were established as directed by
the engineer-in-charge.
4.1.5 Topographical Survey Procedure
4.1.5.1 Reconnaissance
Before starting the topographic survey, tentative route alignment was marked
on eicher/goggle map. The survey teams along with RITES’s engineers have done
reconnaissance survey to familiarize the route alignment and identification of
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-7
the location for fixing the control traverse points and TBMs location. The
constraints likely to be encountered during survey work were also identified.
4.1.5.2 Traversing
45 Nos of DGPS points were established with the help of GPS between Vasai and
Panvel. The traverse points between these GPS traversing stations were
established by running closed traverse with the help of Total station.
4.1.5.3 Precise Levelling
Levels of control traversing stations were established by using auto level. TBMs
for the entire route alignment were established every 0.50 km (average) by
Double territory method and fixed on available permanent structures along the
route alignment. The Levelling was carried out by using precision auto level with
accuracy of ±6JK. Reduced levels of all traverse staKons and permanent control
points were also taken w.r.t. TBMs.
4.1.5.4 Detailed Survey
• Based on the ‘Easting’ & ‘Northing’ values arrived by the Traversing and
Elevation by Precise Levelling, detailed survey was carried out along the
alignment.
• The survey covered road/rail track showing important structures all the bye
lanes, footpaths, dividers/central verges, roads, railway tracks, trees,
manholes and other structures, Nallahs, Storm water drains, H.T., L.T.,
Transmission lines, bridges, ROBs/RUBs/FOBs with type and spans, ponds,
HFL and bed level of streams/Nallahs, level crossing with their type, traction
masts, signal posts, etc. Spot/ Ground levels were taken at 25 m intervals in
longitudinal as well as traverse direction and at sudden change of levels and
other features etc., as decided by the Engineer-in-charge.
• Details of built-up areas including setbacks from building line / boundary
wall, utility services such as electric lines, telephone lines, HT lines and over
head crossings, manholes details, vertical clearance of overhead utilities etc.
were taken and marked on the drawings.
• Location of approach roads, main roads, lanes showing road/lane name,
carriageway, footpaths, central verge, drains and the widths of all the main
and approach roads and at locations where there is a sudden change in
widths of roads were measured physically and marked on the drawings.
• Details of Railway tracks along the proposed alignment including take off
points, FOBs, transitions, crossings, switches and other details including
electrical structures with their distances were taken. FOB and Power line
Crossings list has been submitted along with GSAR.
• Details of Religious structures such as temples, Gurudwaras, Mosques,
Churches, and Monuments, tombs etc., clearly marking the Railway

4.3 DESCRIPTION OF ALIGNMENT
4.3.1 Introduction
• Proposed new Suburban corridor from Panvel to Virar is to run along the existing
Panvel – Diva – Vasai line of Central Railway and then Vasai Road to Virar of
Western Railway, to be accommodated generally, within the existing right of way,
elevated/at-grade, in order to avoid/minimize acquisition of private land/property.
The corridor proposed is to have double line track, with a capacity to run 12 coach
trains.
• From Panvel to North of Nilaje, the alignment is proposed at-grade. Between Nilaje
and Kopar, the alignment is proposed elevated. Between Kopar and north of
Juchandra, the alignment is again proposed as at-grade. Between south of Vasai
Road and Virar, the alignment is again proposed as Elevated.
• There is planned Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) running almost parallel to existing
corridor between Panvel to Juchandra section. The DFC is planned on east of
existing double line track. Existing corridor has 14 stations between Panvel and Virar
covering an approximate distance of 70 km (Table 4.2).

• Interconnecting track loops to provide direct connectivity to/from Central Railway
main line stations of Dombivli as well as Diva are available between Kopar-Dativali
sections. These loops are located on east side of Central railway main line corridor
of Dombivli -Diva.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-19
• Between Nilaje - Kopar section, which is 7.90 Km, the alignment is proposed
elevated for about 6.40 Km.The alignment crosses the Dombivli – Diva Central
Railway main line corridor, connecting loops and Panvel - Diva Central Railway main
line corridor as elevated. For crossing Panvel - Diva corridor, a ramp with a grade of
1:200 (0.50%) has been proposed to become elevated. In remaining section i.e. 1.50
Km, the alignment is proposed at grade, where generally adequate space is available
to accommodate new sub-urban corridor.
• The alignment of proposed corridor in Vasai Road - Virarsection is proposed
elevated due to land constraints. Also future proposal of 5th/6th line between
Borivali to Virar is kept in mind while proposing the alignment of Panvel -
Virarcorridor. There are 2 ROBs in this section. Thus, the vertical profile of the
proposed corridor is decided by giving due considerations to these fixed structures.
In general, the ground clearance of ROBs above the existing Rail level is 7.5 m to 8.0
m and required clearance for the proposed corridor above ROBs is 5.50 m.
Therefore, the proposed alignment of the new sub-urban corridor is planned at a
height of 16.50 m to 17.0 m including depth of deck.
• With a view of minimizing land/property acquisition requirement, it is
recommended to adopt general arrangement of two proposed corridors (i.e. Panvel
- Virarand Borivali-Virar 5th/6th line) between Vasai Road- Virar sections just over
one another. This scheme could be feasible if elevated construction is done first
with provision of At Grade track on either side of proposed pier.
• The details of existing ROBs between various sections are given in Table 4.3.

• There are existing 13 engineering and 4 traffic level crossings along the corridor from
Panvel to Virar. Since DFC is running parallel to the existing and proposed corridor,
action plan of elimination of these level crossings by RUB’s/ROB’s has been prepared.
Central railway/DFC authorities need to be approached to keep provision of additional
space under proposed ROB’s and additional barrel length at RUB’s to accommodate two
tracks of this new sun-urban corridor while preparing/approving GAD’s. Details of
existing engineering and traffic level crossings are given in Table 4.7 and 4.8
respectively.

* Names of proposed stations are tentative and subject to change
4.3.3 Reference Point
For the planning convenience point of view Centre line of existing Panvel station has
been considered as Zero chainage. The chainage of the proposed corridor increases
towards Virar.
4.3.4 Terminal Stations
i) Panvel Station
Southernmost Terminal of the proposed new Sub-urban corridor will be Panvel.At
present; Panvel Station is having four double discharge platforms for suburban trains.
As per Master plan developed by Central Railway, provision for two suburban platforms
on east side for the proposed Fast corridor has been kept. Central Railway has proposed
to extend all the existing suburban platforms to 630 m. The existing platform no. 1 & 2
are proposed to be utilized for the new Suburban corridor.
ii) Virar Station
Northernmost Terminal of the proposed new Sub-urban corridor will be Virar. Virar
station has been proposed opposite to the proposed Virar station of the Churchgate
Virar Elevated corridor. Integration between the two stations will be planned.
Reversal/stabling facilities have been provided beyond Virar station.
Corridor is terminated south of existing Virar station due to existence of multi storey
buildings in the vicinity and for planning elevated corridor up to Virar Station, major
remodeling of Virar yard and huge private land and properties acquisition will be
required. Proposed corridor has been terminated opposite to Virar Car shed at east side
which would avoid land acquisition and also not cause any inconvenience to existing

4.3.5 Design Considerations
Following considerations have been kept in view, while proposing alignment.
i) Track centres for this BG corridor is kept as 4.725 m for elevated stretch of Virar-
Vasai Road section and 5.3 m for remaining section.
ii) For elevated alignment, height of deck has been generally kept 15m above
existing rail level, in order to provide adequate clearance over existing ROBs, FOBs
and to accommodate elevated station. However, between Nilaje and Kopar 10 m
height has been kept.
iii) Where ever minimum height of deck require increase, due to higher road level on
the ROB, same will be increased by down/upgrade in approaches while finalization
of vertical profile.
iv) Thickness of elevated deck girders will generally vary from 2.45m to 3.45m
depending upon span design, therefore clearance available below deck girder will
vary from 12.55 to 11.55m, with 15 m deck height, depending upon span design
required to be adopted.
v) Minimum radius for horizontal curve provided is 437.50 m and the maximum
gradient proposed is 0.5 % (1 in 200) except between Juchandra and Vasai road
where a gradient of 2.0% (1 in 50) has been proposed.
vi) The proposed corridor is proposed to be kept at a distance of 6.0 m from centre
line of nearest track for AT Grade sections.
vii) For elevated stretch from Vasai Road to Virar, the horizontal distance of centre
line of proposed pier from outermost track is kept as 7 m.
viii) Inter-connectivity between existing and proposed corridors is planned on traffic
movement considerations.
ix) Due consideration is given to the proposed DFC proposed along the same route.
4.4 ALIGNMENT DESIGN
The proposed corridor for the purpose of description of alignment has been divided in
the following sections:
i) Panvel to Nilaje
ii) Nilaje to Kopar
iii) Kopar to Juchandra
iv) Juchandra to Vasai Road
v) Vasai Road to Virar

4.6 UTILITY IDENTIFICATION
4.6.1 Introduction
• Sub-surface, surface and overhead utility services viz. sewers, water mains, storm
water drains, gas pipe lines, telephone/ communication cables, Overhead power
transmission lines, power cables, traffic signals, etc. exists all along the proposed
alignment.
• These utility services are essential and have to be maintained in working order
during different stages of construction, by temporary/permanent diversions and
relocation or by supporting in position. Any interruption to these will have serious
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-61
repercussions on the most sensitive suburban services and direct impact on the
public besides set back in construction and project implementation schedule &
costs. Meticulous planning therefore will have to be taken in tackling the issue of
protection/diversion of these utility services.
4.6.2 Utilities and Services
There are in all seven organizations/departments owning these utilities apart from
various departments of Railways. Details of owning departments are mentioned in
Table 4.14

4.6.3 Management of Utilities
While planning for diversion of utility services viz. sewer lines, water pipelines, cables,
etc., during construction of new suburban corridor, following guidelines have been
adopted:
• Utility services have to be kept operational during the entire construction period
and after completion of project. All proposals should therefore, ensure their
uninterrupted functioning.
• Where permanent diversion of the affected utility is not found feasible, temporary
diversion with CI/Steel pipes without manholes is proposed during construction.
After completion of construction, these will be replaced with conventional pipes
and manholes.
4.6.4 Sewer Lines, Storm Water Drains and Water Lines
The sewer, storm water drains and water pipe lines generally exists across the existing
Railway Track and outside Railway’s ROW wherever along .
The major sewer, storm water drains and water pipe lines mains running across the
alignment and likely to be affected due to construction of stations are proposed to be
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR

taken care of by proper supporting arrangements. Where, this is not feasible, lines will
be suitably diverted. Details of ownership wise utilities are detailed in Table 4.15 to

4.7 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
4.7.1 Introduction
The geotechnical investigations were carried out from PANVEL to Virar along the
alignment of proposed new suburban corridor for entire length of 70.15 km. The bore
logs were taken at about every 500 m tentatively so as to cover the entire corridor and
to get fairly accurate idea of ground characteristics. Some inaccessible areas or areas of
private land are not covered in GT investigations.
4.7.2 Selection of Bore Hole Locations
The locations of bore holes were selected in such a way so as to cover the entire
alignment of the proposed corridor mostly along the existing line. The distance between
successive bores is kept generally about 500m. Site specific requirement of bore
locations were met by making suitable shift in bore location. Numbering of bores are
done in a sequential manner from one end and inaccessible areas/private area locations
left out , although number is assigned for future identification for the bore. Full details
of individual locations of bore holes have also been marked on the drawing. The details
of boreholes along the corridor are shown in Table 4.22.

4.7.3 Field Investigations
Standard Penetration Tests
This test was carried out using a Terzaghi spoon sampler driven by a 63.50 kg. Hammer
weight falling freely through a height 750 mm. The refusal of the test has been
considered when the penetration is not possible with no. of blows. The actual values of
SPT such as (N2 + N3) have been reported. Refusals have been indicated in boreholes
by mentioning ‘R’ in the SPT Value column. The SPT values help in assessing the stratum
strength in general. The field tests conducted covers the Standard Penetration Tests.
The results of the same are summarized in table 4.23.

4.8 LAND REQUIREMENT
4.8.1 Land will be required for the following Main Components
• Proposed Corridor Structure (including Route Alignment), Station Building,
Platforms, Entry/Exit Structures, Traffic Integration Facilities, Depots, etc.
• Receiving/Traction Sub-stations
• Temporary Construction Depots and work sites
4.8.2 Land for Traffic integration
No land acquisition is proposed exclusively for traffic integration purpose.
4.8.3 Land for Maintenance Depot
About 34.80 Hectares of open land has been proposed for Depot in Kalwar.Intially
depot was being planned at Kharbao, which falls in CRZ area. Alternate location of
depot of estimated area 34.80 hact. has now been proposed along the purposed tracks
between Dunge-Kalwar .
4.8.4 Land for TSS, RSS, ASS and DG Sets
New Kopar TSS has been proposed in the premises of existing DC TSS at Dombivli and it
is noted that Dombivli DC-TSS would be redundant after completion of DC-AC
conversion work. Similarly at existing TSS namely at Panvel, Kharbao and Vasai Road,
required augmentation has been planned. Therefore no fresh procurement of land is
required for TSS purpose.

4.9.5 Land Requirement for Stations and Running Sections
As the entire alignment is proposed either elevated or At-grade, land will be required
for running section.
To the extent possible the Entry and Exit points of stations were planned on the vacant
Rly. land. But, for locating other station facilities such as water tanks, generator room,
fire room etc., land/property acquisition is proposed.
The details of land permanently required for stations and running section are indicated
in the Tables 4.25 and 4.26 respectively.

4.8.6 Temporary Construction Depot
During construction period, construction materials like reinforcing bars, cement, steel
sections, shutters, pre-cast segments etc. are to be stored for elevated corridor from
Nilaje to kopar and from Vasai road to Virar. Therefore, sufficient land is required for
storage of these materials.
Since the area of land being acquired permanently at most of the stations is bare
minimum, the land required for construction depots purpose is identified throughout
the corridor, in the vicinity of the stations on temporary acquisition basis. The areas
proposed for such purpose are indicated in Table 4.27. These sites will be obtained on
lease temporarily for the construction period. After completion of construction, these
will be handed over back to the land owning agency.
About 10 Hac land is proposed for construction depots along the corridor. The
proposed sites are presently vacant. The areas are identified based on availability as
vacant on date. At the time of construction, depending upon the need, area
requirements, the location and size can be reassessed and temporary land acquisitions
can be made accordingly.

4.9 CONSTRUCTION PLANNING
4.9.1 The construction of proposed suburban corridor between Panvel to Viar is a challenging
task looking to the proximity to running Railway track. This section is mostly At-grade
and some portion is only elevated. The aim of this section is to briefly introduce the
construction methodology proposed for the corridor.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-78
4.9.2 General Geology
Mumbai and Navi Mumbai area falls within the region covered by Deccan Volcanic
eruption of lava flows consisting mainly of basalt which took place 65 million year ago.
The volcanic activity was very widespread, covering large area of central India. The
flows of lava and formation of rock are nearly horizontal. In Mumbai area the geology is
slightly different compared to the other portions of Deccan region. The flows consist of
a variety of rocks besides basalt, which are volcanic breecia. Tuffs acidic type like
rhyolite and intermediate rock type like trachyte. Besides these there are also some
Intertrappean sedimentary rock types like shales, mudstones which are inter-bedded
with the regular volcanic types.
The general dips of the strata are also different in Mumbai. The strata dips vary
between 5o to 10o towards the Westerly direction. Besides the bedding joints, there
can be one or two additional prominent joint sets striking North – South and East –
West with moderate to steep dips.
Geology along Alignment
As per the geological profile along the alignment based on borehole investigations,
most of the rock types are expected to be Volcanic Breccra / Tuff variety with strengths
in the range of 5 to 30 Mpa. Some proportions of Basalt are expected with strength in
the range of 20 to 250 Mpa. Some pockets of the sedimentary Interappean rocks
consisting of Shale intercalations can also be expected with strengths in the range of 1
to 20 Mpa. The GT investigation details are submitted in a separate volume.
4.9.3 Overview of Alignment Features
RITES officials made regular visits to the project site to check the existing conditions
along the existing corridor. Detailed survey has been conducted to know the exact
extent of the railway land and also the space available between the railway boundary
and the centre line of extreme track. Based on this detailed survey and the data
collected during various site visits and also from various government organizations, it
has been proposed to divide the corridor into two parts, i.e.
• Elevated
• At-grade
Accordingly, a most economical and technically feasible alignment has been proposed.
The space to construct the elevated viaduct within the Railway’s right of way is not
uniform along the alignment. Due to this reason , the alignment has to cross form east
side to west side or vice versa over the existing tracks due to constraints of land, private
properties, non-availability of roads of adequate width, private properties right on edge
of railway boundary. These special locations have been termed as cross-over and are
tabulated below.

The total length of at-grade stretch is about 48.32 Km. The vertical profile is designed
elevated/at-grade between the chainage mentioned in the table below due to
restriction of road width, availability of ROW etc and entry to depot.

4.9.4 Elevated Construction
In view of the prevailing conditions, loading, etc., a typical span length of 30 m has been
proposed all along the corridor. Moreover, since the alignment has to be as far as
possible within the Railway ROW, it is not possible to avoid the existing FOBs and ROBs
running perpendicular to the proposed suburban corridor. Generally a span
configuration of 30 m has been adhered to all along the proposed alignment but it is
only at some locations of ROBs and FOBs that some non standard spans (eg. 25m, 35m
etc.) or special structures has been proposed. The structural design has to be suitable
for live axle load of 18 tonne.
4.9.5 Foundation System
4.9.5.1 Pile Foundation
Considering the space restriction and the assumption that the rock level is
encountered at a depth about 8m below the ground, pile foundation is
proposed with socketing into the rock. Two types of pile foundations are
proposed, depending upon the availability of construction space.
• Multiple Pile
• Monopile
1. Multiple Pile
Bored piles of 1.2m diameter are envisaged. The piles would be arranged in
group of four and the maximum pile cap dimension would be 5.0m x 5.0m.
Moreover, a construction space of at least 8m width would be required for
piling. The multiple pile groups shall be provided only in the stretch where the
aforesaid width is available for construction without any disturbance to the
adjoining structures and Railways operations.
2. Monopile
This type of pile foundation, as the name suggests, consists of a single larger
diameter pile. The diameter of monopile is envisaged to vary from 2m to 2.5m
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-80
depending on the difference between the rock level and the rail level. The
construction space required would be 5m in width. Monopile is proposed at
locations of space restrictions or to avoid infringement with existing railway
structures and utilities. If, however, at the time of construction, the relocation of
existing structures and shifting of utilities is approved by the railways and the
width for construction of foundation is enough for group of piles, the multiple
pile foundation is preferable.

4.10 STRUCTURE
The viaduct superstructure will be supported on single cast-in-place RC pier central or
cantilever or portal as required at site.The pier cap is designed and constructed on top
of pier to support bearings under the super structure.
To prevent any accidental impact of any vehicle to pier, a Jersey Shaped crash barrier of
1.0 m height above existing ground level has to be provided all around the pier. A gap
of 25mm has also to be provided in between the crash barrier and outer face of pier at
critical locations of vehicular movement. The shape of upper part of pier has to be so
dimensioned that a required clearance of 5.5m is always available on road side beyond
vertical plane drawn on outer face of crash barrier. In such a situation, the minimum
height of rail above the existing road is about 8.4m.
The longitudinal centre to centre spacing of elastomeric/pot bearing over a pier would
be about 1.8m. The space between the elastomeric bearings will be utilized for placing
the lifting jack required for the replacement of elastomeric bearing. An outward slope
of 1:200 will be provided at pier top for the drainage due to spilling of rainwater, if any.
The transverse spacing between bearings would be approximately 3.2m.The orientation
and dimensions of the piers for the continuous units or steel girder (simply supported
span) have to be carefully selected to ensure minimum occupation at ground level
traffic. Since the vertical and horizontal loads will vary from pier to pier, this will be
catered to by selecting the appropriate structural dimensions.
4.10.1 Pier and Pier Caps
Keeping in mind the aesthetics, the piers for typical viaduct shall be circular, diameter
of which varies from 2.0m to 3.0m depending on the rail, ground and rock level. The
width at the top of the pier cap is kept to be equal to the bottom width of the box
girder and gradually decreases to diameter to pier over a depth of 2.5 m where it meets
the pier. For special bridges, the substructure for side spans is similar to typical piers
whereas, for main span, rectangular hollow pier monolithic with the superstructure has
been adopted. The substructure for the typical viaduct is summarized below:

Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-87
4.11 SUPERSTRUCTURE
The superstructure of a large part of the viaduct is proposed to be constructed as closed
box structure See Fig 4.8. This structural shape is the most efficient, stable and torsion
ally rigid structure possible comprises of simply supported spans. However at major
crossing/over or along existing bridge, special steel or continuous unit will be provided.
The standard span c/c of piers of standard simply supported spans constructed by
precast segmental construction technique has been proposed as 30.0m. The usual
segments shall be 3.0m in length except the Diaphragm segments, which shall be 2.0m
each. The other standard spans (c/c of pier) comprises of 33.0m, 27.0m, 24.0m, 21.0m
& 18.0m, which shall be made by removing/adding usual segments of 3.0m each from
the centre of the span.
The dimensions of end diaphragm will be finalized based on simply supported span of
30.0m and the same will be also kept for all simply supported standard span. The top
level of both the end diaphragms of adjoining spans on the same piers is kept same so
that expansion joint can be installed at top and continuity of profile of end diaphragm
on the same pier can be maintained. The arrangement has been selected from
aesthetic considerations.
For major crossing having spans greater than 30.0 m, special units normally of 3 spans
continuous or standard steel girders bridges as per RDSO approved spans have been
envisaged. All these continuous units (in case provided at obligatory location) will be
constructed by cast-in-situ balanced cantilever construction technique using Bridge
Builder of required design at locations where ground supported shuttering is not
possible. The top profile of superstructure of continuous unit (for the full length) will be
retained the same as for standard spans so that evacuation walkway will be available
even in continuous units.
Figure 4.9: Proposed typical Deck Section
4.11.1 Segmental Construction
Precast segmental construction with internal pre-stressing and epoxy coated joints is by
far most preferred technique in fast track projects. In such construction, the match cast
joints at the interface of two segments are provided with shear keys. The casted
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-88
segment will be transported on trailers and launched in position through launching
girders. The Pre-cast segmental box girder using external unbounded tendon has been
considered has been chosen mainly due to the following advantages.
• Segmental construction is an efficient and economical method for a large range of
span lengths and types of structures. Structures with sharp curves and variable
super elevation can be easily accommodated.
• Segmental construction permits a reduction of construction time as segments may
be manufactured while substructure work proceeds, and assembled rapidly
thereafter.
• Segmental construction protects the environment, as only space required for
foundation and sub-station is required at site. The superstructure is manufactured
at a place away from busy areas and placement of superstructure is done with the
system erected from piers at heights.
• Segments are easy to stack in the casting yard/stacking yard in more than one layer,
thereby saving in requirement of space.
• It is easier to transport smaller segments by road trailers on city roads.
• It is easy to incorporate last minute changes in span configuration if the site
situation so warrants.
• Interference to the traffic during construction is significantly reduced.
• Segmental construction contributes toward aesthetically pleasing structures and
good finishes.
• The overall labour requirement is less than that for conventional methods.
• Better quality control is possible in the casting yard.
• During construction, the technique shows an exceptionally high record of safety.
4.11.2 Launching Scheme of precast Segments
Launching girder is specially designed for launching of segments. The suggested
launching scheme is designed in such a way that initially the launching girder is erected
on pier head at one end of the work. The segments are lifted in sequence and when the
lifting is over; they are dry matched while hanging from the launching girder. After dry
matching, the segments are glued with epoxy and pre-stressed from one end. The
girder is lowered on the temporary / permanent bearings after pre-stressing. The
launching girder then moves over the launched the superstructure shall be constructed
“span by span” sequentially, starting at one end of a continuous stretch and finishing at
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-89
the other end. Nos. of launching girders may be required so as to work on different
stretches simultaneously to enable completion of the project in time.
The number of “breaks” in the stretch can be identified by no’s of continuous units. The
suggested method of erection will be detailed in drawings to be prepared. The
governing weight of the segments will be of the order of 70 t (to be decided at
appropriate stage). The launching girder envisaged will be slightly greater than two
span lengths. It must be able to negotiate curves in conjunction with temporary
brackets.
Transportation of segments from casting yard to the point of erection will be effected
by appropriately designed low-bedded trailers (tyre-mounted). The segments can be
lifted and erected using erection portal gantry moving on launching girder.
U-girder segments shall be match cast at the casting yard before being transported to
location and erected in position. Post-tensioned cables shall be threaded in-situ and
tensioned from one end. It is emphasized that for precast segmental construction only
one-end pre-stressing shall be used.
The pre-stressing steel and pre-stressing system steel accessories shall be subjected to
an acceptance test prior to their actual use on the works. The tests for the system shall
be as per FIP Recommendations as stipulated in the special specifications. Only multi-
strand jacks shall be used for tensioning of cables. Direct and indirect force
measurement device (e.g. Pressure Gauge) shall be attached in consultation with
system manufacturer.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper handling, lifting, storing, transporting
and erection of all segments so that they may be placed in the structure without
damage. Segments shall be maintained in an upright position at all times and shall be
stored, lifted and/or moved in a manner to prevent torsion and other undue stress.
Members shall be lifted, hoisted or stored with lifting devices approved on the shop
drawings.
4.11.3 Segmental built span by span
In order to avoid any disturbance to the rail traffic, it is proposed to launch and erect
the segments from the already erected deck see fig 4.10. The trailer/carrier is placed on
the already erected first deck nearest to the casting yard with the help of a crane and
the segments are rested on the trailer with the help of crane or a cross gantry located
within the casting yard and spanning across the viaduct. The method is as explained
below:
• Move the launching girder to span (N+1).
• Bring segments from span N (already erected deck).
• Glue all the segments together.
• Stress the PT tendons.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-90
Time taken to complete erection of one span = 4 to 5 days approximately, depending
upon the delivery of segments, considering ideal conditions.
Figure 4.10: Segmental span by span erection method
4.11.4 Epoxy Bonded Joints and Shear Keys
A minimum compressive stress of 3kg/sqcm shall be provided uniformly over the cross-
section for the closure stress on the epoxied joint until the epoxy has set. The curing
period for application of the compressive stress, method of mixing and application of
epoxy and all related aspects including surface preparation shall be as per approved
manufacturer’s specifications.
The purpose of the epoxy joint, which is about 1mm on each mating surface, shall be to
serve as lubricant during segment positioning, to provide waterproofing of the joints for
durability in service conditions and to provide a seal to avoid cross-over of grout during
grouting of one cable into other ducts.
The epoxy shall be special purpose and meet requirements of relevant provision of FIP
(International Federation of Pre-stressed Concrete). The temporary compressive stress
during the curing period shall be applied by approved external temporary bar pre-
stressing (such as Macalloy or Diwidag bar systems or approved equivalent) span to
next span and the sequences continue.
4.11.5 Reinforcement and Prestressed Steel
It is proposed to use TMT - HYSD 500 steel as reinforcement bars. For pre-stressing
work, low relaxation high tensile steel strands with the configuration 12 T 13 and or 19
K 15 is recommended (confirming to IS:14268).

Following are some equipment which is used in construction of multipiles and
monopiles.

Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-95
4.14: Substructure and Foundation Construction Method (Typical Via Pile Top
Method)
Alternatively the monopile can be done by Pile Top Method developed by
WIRTH. The principle is as follows:
Compressed air is injected into the drill pipe below water level, slightly above
the cutting head. The air rising and expanding within the drill pipe greatly
reduces the density of the internal fluid column, creating a differential pressure
between the fluid in the drill hole outside and fluid inside the drill pipe. Due to
the higher density of the outer column, the solids pass from the drill hole,
through the suction cutting head opening and rise up through the drill pipe.
Provided the correct air/fluid flow is established within the drill pipe, the airlift
principle is utilized for transporting the solids to the surface.
The amount of differential pressure and thus the conveying capacity depends on
the rate and volume of compressed air injected the depth of injection and the
delivery head. The rig assembly is as shown in the Fig 4.15.

4.12.2 Superstructures Construction Methods (Typical Viaduct)
For the proposed design concept of superstructure, two alternative construction
methods have been proposed and depend on the operability at a particular location.
Two construction methods are proposed which are following
• Segmental built span by span.
• Full precast span.
1. Segmental built span by span
In order to avoid any disturbance to the rail traffic, it is proposed to launch and
erect the segments from the already erected deck. The method is as explained
below:
• Move the launching girder to span (N+1).
• Bring segments from span N (already erected deck).
• Glue all the segments together.
• Stress the PT tendons.
Figure 4.17: Segmental span by span erection method
2. Full Span Precasting
The full span precasting method allows a very fast construction of the
superstructures after completion of the substructures. It uses pre-tensioning, which
is more economical than post-tensioning.

4.13 CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY FOR AT-GRADE SECTION
The formation of most efficient, economic and suitable design and construction
procedure for a sound and trouble-free railway embankment shall be carried out as
per RDSO Guidelines for Earthwork in Railway Projects (Guideline GE-1).
4.13.1 Cross Section Of Embankment
Cross section of embankment of BG track is a trapezoid which is shown in figure 4.19
given below. For the sake of clarity, a few commonly used terms with their specific
meanings are explained below.
Figure 4.19: X-Section of embankment
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-99
i. Sub-soil: Soil of natural ground below sub grade.
ii. Sub-grade: It is part of embankment/cutting provided above subsoil by
borrowed soil of suitable quality up to bottom of blanket/ballast.
iii. Blanket: Blanket is a layer of specified coarse, granular material of designed
thickness provided over full width of formation between sub grade and ballast.
iv. Ballast: Crushed stones with desired specifications placed directly below the
sleepers.
v. Formation Top: Boundary between ballast and top of blanket or sub grade
(where blanket layer is not provided).
vi. Cess: It is part of top of formation from toe of ballast to edge of formation.
vii. Formation: It is a general term referring to the whole of blanket, sub-grade and
sub-soil.
viii. Track Foundation: Constitutes ballast, blanket and sub grade, which is placed /
exist below track structure to transmit load to subsoil.
4.13.2 Design of Railway Formation
In order to construct a formation that gives trouble free service under the most adverse
conditions of loading, maintenance, and weather, it is necessary that
i. Sub-grade in bank or cutting is structurally sound so as not to fail in shear strength
under its own load and live loads and
ii. Secondly, any settlement due to compaction and consolidation in sub-grade and
subsoil should be within the permissible limits.
4.13.2.1 Various Aspects of Designing a Sub-Grade & Subsoil
Sub grade should be designed to be safe against shear failure and large
deformations. Adequacy of subsoil against shear strength and settlement should
also be examined.
Following are the some aspects that should be considered when designing a
sub-grade and subsoil.
• Deficient shear strength of sub-grade or sub-soil leads to bearing capacity failure
of sub-grade, Interpenetration failure or mud pumping failure and slope failure (
if factor of safety against slope stability is not adequate). Therefore, sub
grade/subsoil should be designed to ensure not to allow any shear failure.
• Large deformation without shear strength failures of soil can be due to poor
compaction during construction and consolidation (primary and secondary) of
sub grade and/or sub-soil and settlement as well as heave due to shrinking and
swelling characteristics of sub grade and/or sub-soil. The swelling and shrinkage
characteristics of sub-soil shall be significant in cases where bank height is less
than 1m or it is in cutting. These aspects should be taken into account at the
time of construction to avoid large settlement causing maintenance problems
and leading to formation failure.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-100
• Top width of formation should be adequate enough to accommodate track laid
with concrete sleepers and standard ballast section and have minimum 900mm
cess width on either side. It should be regulated in accordance with extant
instructions of Railway Board. Additional width of formation will have to be
provided to cater for increase in extra ballast on outside of curves and extra
clearance required on double line on account of super-elevation etc.
• Adequate drainage must be ensured for the worst in service conditions. The top
of formation should have cross slope of 1 in 30 from centre of track towards
both sides for single line and from one end towards cess /drain side (single
slope) in multiple lines.
• The design should provide for a suitable and cost-effective erosion control
system considering soil matrix, topography and hydrological conditions.
• It will be necessary to keep borrow pits sufficiently away from the toe of the
embankments to prevent base failures due to lateral escapement of the soil. The
distance of borrow pit from the bank will have to be decided in each case on its
merits. Existing borrow pits, close to toe of bank may be filled or its depth
should be taken into account in analyzing slope stability of the bank.
• In the case of embankments / cuttings in highly cohesive clayey soils, special
treatment may be necessary to ensure a stable formation. Such measures will
have to be determined after thorough investigation and study of the soil
properties.
• Special investigation will also be necessary in regard to high fill construction on
swampy ground or marshy lands and deep cuttings.
• In case of all new construction, minimum height of embankment should not be
less than one meter to ensure proper drainage, avoid organic matters and
trespassing.
• Soils prone to liquefaction falling in gradation zone and having coefficient of
uniformity, Cu < 2 should be adequately designed to take care of this.
4.13.3 Materials For Construction
Construction of embankment is to be carried out normally with soil available in nearby
area with proper design of slope and desired bearing capacity. However, there are
some soils, which are not normally suitable to be used in construction of new lines as
detailed below
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-101
• Soils to be normally avoided are organic clays, organic silts, peat, chalks, dispersive soils,
poorly graded gravel and sand with uniformity coefficient less than 2 and clays and silts
of high plasticity (CH & MH) in top 3m of embankment.
• Some typical situations, as given below, may arise when in construction of formation
such unsuitable types of soils (given above) are not possible to be avoided for
economical or any other reason, then Railway may consult RDSO to decide special
investigations and other measures to formulate suitable scheme of construction.
i. Cuttings passing through unsuitable soils, shales and soft rocks which become
muddy after coming into contact with water.
ii. Construction of embankment on subsoil of unsuitable types of soils.
iii. Use of CH & MH type of soils even in top 3m of embankment.
4.13.4 Execution of Formation Earthwork
Before taking up of actual execution of work, detailed drawings need to be prepared for
the entire length of the project to give alignment, formation levels, formation width at
ground level, cross sections of catch water drains & side drains, cross section & levels of
sub grade, blanket levels, etc. to facilitate smooth execution at site. Execution of work
has to be carried out in systematic manner so as to construct formations of satisfactory
quality which would give trouble free service. The activities and adoption of good
practices involved in execution of earthwork are covered under following headings
a) Preliminary works
b) General aspects
c) Compaction of earth work
d) Placement of Back-Fills on Bridge Approaches and Similar Locations
e) Drainage Arrangement in Bank/Cutting
f) Erosion control of slopes on banks & cuttings
g) Other aspects
4.13.4.1 Other Aspects of Construction of Earthwork
4.13.4.1.1 Execution of Earthwork- General Aspects
• The spreading of material in layers of desired thickness over the entire width of
embankment should be done by mechanical means and finished by a motor
grader. The motor grader blade shall have hydraulic control suitable for initial
adjustment and maintain the same so as to achieve the slope and grade.
• Thickness of layer is decided based on field compaction trials. However, as a
good practice thickness of layer should be generally kept as 300 mm for fill
material and 250 mm for blanket material in loose state before compaction.
• If natural moisture content (NMC) of the soil is less than the OMC, calculated
amount of water based on the difference between OMC & NMC and quantity of
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-102
earthwork being done at a time, should be added with sprinkler attached to
water tanker and mixed with soil by motor grader or by other means for
obtaining uniform moisture content. When soil is too wet, it is required to be
dried by aeration to reduce moisture content near to OMC. Efforts should be
made to keep moisture content level of the soil in the range of OMC ± 2% at the
time of compaction.
• Fill shall be placed and compacted in layers of specified thickness. The rate of
progress should be, as far as possible, uniform so that the work is completed to
final level almost at the same time.
• The rolling for compaction of fill material should commence from edges towards
center with minimum overlap of 200 mm between each run of the roller. In final
pass, roller should simply move over the surface without vibration so that top
surface is properly finished.
• Extra bank width of 500 mm on either side shall be rolled to ensure proper
compaction at the edges. The extra soil would be cut and dressed to avoid any
loose earth at the slopes. This should preferably be done with help of grade
cutter.
• At the end of the working day, fill material should not be left uncompacted. Care
should be taken during rolling to provide suitable slope on top of the bank to
facilitate quick shedding of water and avoid ponding on formation.
• During construction of formation, there may be rainfall to the extent that rain
cuts may develop on the surface of formation due to erosion of soil. Care should
be taken that these rain cuts are not allowed to develop wide and deep
otherwise these locations will remain weak spots. Provisions should be made in
contract conditions to attend / repair such rain cuts, as a regular measure.
• Top of the formation should be finished to cross slope of 1 in 30 from one end to
other towards cess/drain in multiple lines and from center of formation to both
sides in single line.
• Once the top surface of the formation has been finished to proper slope and
level, movement of material vehicle for transportation of ballast, sleepers etc.
should be avoided, these movements will cause development of unevenness,
ruts on the surface which will accumulate water and weaken the formation. The
methodology of transportation of P. Way material needs to be planned.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-103
• At locations where the water table is high and the fill soil is fine-grained, it may
be desirable to provide a granular layer of about 30 cm thickness at the base,
above subsoil across the full width of formation.
• At the places where embankment materials are not conducive to plant growth,
top soil obtained from site clearance as well as top layer of borrow pit which is
rich in organic content and suitable for plant growth, may be stored for covering
slopes of embankment & cutting after construction, or other disturbed areas,
where re-vegetation is required, as far as practicable.
4.13.4.1.2 Widening of Embankment
Before taking up widening of existing of embankment for gauge conversion, it
should be ensure that remedial measures for unstable formation have been
taken which are given below.
• All vegetation shall be uprooted and taken away from the site of work. The loose
materials removed from the slope should be dumped to form the bottom most
layer on the ground in the width to be widened. If required, it shall be
supplemented with local granular soil.
• Starting from the toe, benching on the slope at every 30cm height shall be
provided on the slope surface as in given figure 4.20 below, so as to provide
proper amalgamation between the old and new earthwork.
Figure 4.20: Widening of embankment
• Earthwork shall be carried out in layers, each layer sloping out 1:30 and
compacting it mechanically using vibratory rollers of around 0.9m width (which
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-104
are available in the market), 6 to 8 passes of such rollers shall usually suffice
provide the compaction to the specified level.
• The width of each layer of earthwork shall be in excess by 300mm of the
designed profile to enable compaction near the edges. The excess width,
thereafter, cut and dressed, so as to achieve the required bank profile.
• Earthwork shall be completed upto designed formation level keeping due
allowance for the blanket if need be.
4.13.4.1.3 Raising of Existing Formation
After widening of the bank to the level of the existing formation, raising shall be
done as under:
• Raising less than 150mm shall be done with ballast, restricting overall thickness
to 350mm.
• Raising from 150mm to 1000mm, the existing ballast shall be taken out under
suitable speed restriction and raising should be done in suitable steps with the
material as per specification of blanket material, preferably that of upper
blanket layer. After raising to the desired level, clean ballast shall be inserted.
• Raising of more than 1000mm, under traffic, would not be cost effective and it
may be desirable to lay a detour for passage of traffic temporarily. Final decision
shall, however, be based on economic considerations.
4.13.4.1.4 Earthwork in New Detours
To facilitate easing out of existing sharp curves, change of gradients and
rebuilding of important bridges, new detours shall be necessary. Design and
construction of such detours shall be carried out in accordance with these
provisions in the Guidelines.
4.13.4.1.5 Construction Equipments for Execution of Earthwork
Any manual methods of construction cannot achieve the desired quality of
earthwork. It would be necessary to deploy modern equipments such as
earthmover, motor graders, scraper, dumpers, mobile water sprinklers,
vibratory rollers, sheep foot rollers etc. as per need, on all projects, so that the
quality of work is as per laid down standards. It would be desirable to maintain
records of work done by various equipments at a particular site to assess the
output and quality control.
4.13.4.1.6 Construction of New Formation over Soft Compressible Sub-soil:
Various methods such as i) pre- loading and stage construction, ii) installation of
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-105
vertical sand drains, and iii) installation of prefabricated vertical drains are
available for strengthening of such weak soil by expediting consolidation.
Selection of a particular method for safe construction of embankment will
basically depend on rate of construction. Therefore, depending on site
requirement and techno-economic considerations, a particular method for
construction may be decided in consultation with RDSO.
4.13.4.1.7Sandwich Construction of Banks with Cohesive Soils:
Sandwich type of construction may be adopted for construction of
embankments with cohesive soils having very low permeability (less than 10 –2
cm/sec.) and where height of bank is greater than 3m. In such situations, a layer
of coarse sand (Cu > 2) of about 20 to 30 cm thick should be provided at bank
height intervals of 2 to 3m. Following figure provides Guidelines for sandwich
construction for different heights to improve factor of safety against slope
failure, drainage and dissipation of pore water pressure.
Figure 4.21: Sandwich construction of banks with cohesive soils
It is desirable to have a bottom layer of coarse sand in all cases where soils of low
permeability are used even for depths upto 3m. However, before adopting such
construction, it may be necessary to carry out a detailed technical study along with
economics of sandwich construction, depending on site conditions and availability of
material, if required, in consultation with RDSO.
4.13.4.1.8 Safety at Work Site:
Necessary precautions towards safety at work site should be part of the contract
document. Similarly, safety for staff working at site should be carefully ensured
to avoid any untoward incidence. To the extent possible, the safety instructions
are to be suitably incorporated in the contract document with clear
understanding of responsibility of concerned staff and contractor about their
responsibility.
4.13.4.1.9 Environmental Aspects:
Efforts should be made to ensure least disturbance to surrounding environment,
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-106
to the extent possible. Wherever, there has been disturbance due to large scale
construction, efforts need to make to improve the surroundings and
environment by way of massive group plantation, so as to restore the area.
Rules and regulations of the government in vogue, in regard to the environment,
need to be followed.
4.14 CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY FOR ELEVATED STATIONS
Figure 4.22-Section at Elevated Station Location
The steps for construction of elevated station are as follows:
• Construct the foundation and pier upto the concourse level for typical viaduct.
Foundation is combined for the station column and the viaduct pier and hence
consists of 6 piles of 1.2m diameter.
• Place the form work for longitudinal beam connecting the station columns and pour
concrete.
• Bring the precast cantilever beams from the casting yard.
• Erect the beam in position with the help of cranes during the night so that the
construction activities do not disrupt railway operations and the road traffic.
• Stress the prestressing tendons and stitch the joint.
• After completing the erection of the beams for at least two consecutive grids, place
the self supporting formwork for the construction of concourse slab.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-107
• After completion of concourse place the form work for construction of staircases
etc. Supported by concourse slab and columns from concourse to platform.
Complete the construction of station elements.
• Viaduct is constructed similar to the standard viaduct and progresses with the
construction of the station.

The sequence of construction will depend upon land acquisition from various
authorities and contractor’s work schedule.
4.14.1 Construction of the Station
4.14.1.1 Elevated Station
It is proposed to construct the elevated stations with elevated concourse over the to
minimize land acquisition. To keep the rail level low, it is proposed not to take viaduct
through the stations. Thus a separate structural configuration is required (although this
may necessitate the break in the launching operations at each station locations).
Sub-structure for the station portion will also be similar to that of viaduct and will be
carried out in the same manner. However, there will be single viaduct column in the
TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR
Draft Feasibility Report APRIL, 2013 4-108
station area, which will be located on the median and support the concourse girders by
a cantilever arm so as to eliminate the columns on the right-of-way.
Super-structure will consist of precast girders for supporting the track structure and I
Girder/Double T Girders for supporting the platform and concourse areas. A pre-cast or
cast in situ prestressed cross girder will be required over the middle piers for supporting
platform structure. Box shaped in situ prestressed cantilever cross girders are planned
for supporting the concourse girders and escalators at mezzanine level. All the
members will be pre-cast in a construction depot and launched at site through cranes.
4.14.1.2 At Grade Corridor
Ballast less track is proposed to be laid over prepared foundation elements as per
standard specifications.
