Foundation work of eight stations for the bullet train has been completed in Gujarat. Bullet train project Director Pramod Sharma said that the bullet train technology has come to India and we are going forward through the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Sharma said, ‘The bullet train technology has come to India and we are going forward through the ‘Make in India’ initiative. It is our duty to tell media about what we are doing, we get positivity and support through this’.
Earlier in the month, National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) which is overseeing the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, said that the installation of noise barriers work along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Corridor is underway.
These noise barriers are installed to mitigate the noise that will be generated by the train and civil structure during operations. The noise barriers are 2 metres high from the rail level and 1 metre wide concrete panels. Each noise barrier weighs around 830-840 kg. They will reflect and distribute the aerodynamic sound generated by the train and the sound will be generated by the lower part of the train, primarily by the wheels running on the tracks.
Earlier on July 31, Minister of Railways, Information and Broadcasting and Electronic and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw informed Lok Sabha in a written reply to a question that the entire land- 1389.5 hectares has been acquired for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. The reply said, ‘Till now, 350 km of Pier Foundation, 316 km of Pier Construction, 221 km of Girder Casting and 190 km of Girder Launching have been completed. The work of the undersea tunnel approximately 21 km has also started’.
