Kochi Metro Tripunithura extension construction kicked off

Kochi Metro Tripunithura Extension

Kochi Metro rail started the construction of the extension from SN Junction to Tripunithura on Monday.

KMRL plans to adopt a unique steel open girder design to overcome the challenge in the presence of railway overbridge with a sharp curve of 152 meter radius. A 60 meter special span will be constructed to overcome this challenge.

Consortium of KEC-VNC is engaged for the extension which is now doing an initial pile load test to validate the safe pile capacity considered.
