Under Ground Metro Rail Tunnel Cross Passage Excavation &Construction:


We are Expertise on Under Ground Metro Rail Tunnel Cross Passage Excavation and Construction. We are executing job as Mumbai Metro Rail Project, Chennai Metro Rail Project, and Kolkata Metro Rail Project. We excel at detailed planning and coordination between our client, our shops, our field teams, our sub-contractors and other trades. Construction is accomplished efficiently, safely and successfully, in terms of both time and money.

Hydraulic Splitters:


The action of dividing or being divided in two parts is splitting. A Hydraulic Splitter, also known as Rock Splitter is a type of portable hydraulic tool. It is used in demolition, which involve breaking large blocks of concrete or rocks. To permit the use of the hydraulic splitter, a hole must be drilled into which the splitting cylinder wedge and counter wedges can be inserted. Holes are usually made with a conventional, hand-held pneumatic hammer drill, a simple, straightforward process. In quarries, large machines capable of drilling several holes simultaneously are used.

Types

1. Wedge type splitter

Wedge type splitting is applicable if the rock is intermediate to class 2 & 3.

2. Piston type splitter

Piston type Rock Splitter is highly effective in Hard Rock strata, and is applicable where wedge type not able to give productivity. Applicable for class 1 & 2 Rocks.
We are executing Hard Rock Splitting technique in L&T STEC JV Mumbai Metro Tunnel Cross Passage works with the use of Hydraulic Splitter.

Rebar Anchoring:


We are providing Rebar anchoring services as a part of Infrastructure Integration through

  • a.Chemical Anchoring
  • b.Cement Grout Anchoring
  • c.Epoxy Grout Anchoring
  • We shall make use internationally approved brands and also will executes as per Client advise and section criteria.

Shot-Creating (Wet and Dry):


Shotcrete is mortar or concrete shot into place by means of compressed air.

Dry-Mix Process:


In this process, cement and moist aggregate are mixed and then placed into a stream of compressed air.

Wet-Mix Process:


In the wet-mix process, all ingredients are first mixed to produce mortar or concrete.

Application of Shotcrete:

  • It can be used to repair the damaged surface of concrete or steel structures provided there is access to the surface needed repair, spillway surfaces.
  • It is used for overhead application when concreting is to be done only on one side, used for lining of tunnels, stabilising slopes, strengthening of structures.

Rock Bolting


A Rock Bolt is a long anchor bolt, for stabilizing rock excavations, which may be used in tunnels or rock cuts. It transfers load from the unstable exterior to the confined interior of the rock mass.
We are executing Rock bolting in Under Ground tunnel Cross Passage on Mumbai Metro Rail Project.

Lattice Girder:


A Lattice Girder is a truss girder where the load is carried by a web of latticed metal bars. Lattice girders provide the following important functions in the tunnelling process:

  • Emergency temporary restraint for unstable ground.
  • Accurate template guide for profiling the tunnel excavation.
  • Cantilever fixing for spilling ahead of the advancing tunnel face.
  • Accurate guide to the thickness of the shotcrete application.

Wire Mesh:


Wire Mesh is the Connection of metal or fibre or other flexible material. Wires can be coated in zinc and epoxy to prevent corrosion, or even be available in stainless steel varieties. Architects have incorporated wire mesh into residential features such as staircases, sliding doors, and cabinets to give spaces a modern touch. Wire mesh screens used in flooring can let sunlight from a skylight brighten multiple levels of a building.

Gantry Erection:


The Gantry girders are the girders which support the loads transmitted through the travelling wheels of the cranes. In tunnel formwork design consultants is an expert in designing travelling formwork (Gantry) for any shape and size of tunnel with diameter of 12m standard length.
Features of Gantry erection in tunnel is

  • Quick and easy assembly
  • Troubleshooting operation
  • Best after sales services
  • Cost effective

Grouting:


Grout is generally a mixture of water, cement, and sand and is employed in pressure grouting, embedding rebar in masonry walls, connecting sections of pre-cast concrete, filling voids, and sealing joints such as those between tiles.
