The1.3- kilometer-long ground is erected 359 meters above the bed of the Chenab swash
India will soon open the world’s loftiest road- bow ground over the Chenab swash in Kashmir for rail business. Chenab Rail Bridge is an Indian road sword and concrete bow ground between Baikal and Kauri in the Reais quarter of Jammu and Kashmir, India.
When completed, the ground will gauge the Chenab River at a height of 359 m (178 ft) above the swash, which is 35 measures high than Paris’ Eiffel Tower.
Constructed for ₹,486 crore, the Chenab ground aims to boost connectivity to the Kashmir Valley. According to the Ministry of Railroads, it’s said to be the biggest civil- engineering challenge faced by any road design in India in recent history.
Chenab Railway Bridge Key features
The ground has a total length of473.25 meters, while the length of the viaduct is 120 meters and the central dam94.25 meters, according to officers, adding it’s supported by 96 lines.
Chenab Bridge weight: The overall weight of the bow is,619MT.
Chenab Bridge contrivers Viaduct & Foundations M/ s WSP (Finland); Arch M/ s Leonhart, Andre and Partners (Germany), and Foundation Protection Indian Institute of Science Bangalore.
Construction of the ground involved fabrication of,660 MT sword, 10 lakh cum Earthwork,, 000 cum concrete, and 26 Km motorable roads.
The most sophisticated ‘Tekla’ software used for structural detailing.
Chenab Railway Bridge Unique Features
The ground is designed to repel high wind speed up to 266 Km/ hour.
The Chenab ground is designed for blast cargo in discussion with DRDO for the first time in India.
It’ll remain functional at a defined speed of 30 Km/ hour indeed after the junking of one pier/ trestle.
In the first, a Gradational Array Ultrasonic Testing machine was used for testing welds in an Indian Railroads design.
Approx. 584Km welding was done to join the different corridor of the structure, which is to the tune of the distance between Jammu Tawe to New Delhi.
The height of the string crane’s pylon at Srinagar End is 127 meter, which is important high than Qutub Miner of 72 meter.
