New Delhi: Delhi Metro will install a new system which will gather data generated during construction of 53-km-long underground corridors of Phase III in NCR for risk minimisation and checking influence on existing buildings.
"The system will act as a tool for data acquisition, visualisation, reporting and consequently, as a tool for risk minimisation as it will provide immediate information on the physical progress of the tunnel and correctness of its alignment and ground settlement," a DMRC spokesperson said.
The Delhi Metro is making 74 tunnels for its 53-km-long underground corridors of Phase III.
"It will consist of a map viewer showing the entire tunnel boring machine (TBM) position in planned view, which can highlight any individual TBM or settlement sensor array for a more detailed view.
The use of 34 TBMs within the NCR would be among the highest number of such machines ever used in any urban centre around the same time in any part of the world.
The tunnelling of Phase III will be completed by mid-2015 and three tunnels for the section from Central Secretariat terminal to Mandi House have already been completed.
"Four TBMs were used to complete the tunnelling work between Central Secretariat to Janpath and from Mandi House to Janpath," the spokesperson said.
